A Lantronix Company SCS3230 System Administrator's Guide
15.00.038 - 19 - May 2002
3.2 Device Cards
The Device cards are fully compatible with the SCS3230 application. The SCS3230 requires
version 4.03 Build 01 (or higher) of the Device Card binary firmware. Firmware updates are
downloadable from the Lightwave FTP site (ftp://ftp.lightwavecom.com).
Note: DEVICE CARD firmware MUST be updated to 4.03 or higher
Each DEVICE card has four completely independent ports for attachment to servers or other
devices with console ports. Eight device cards may be installed per system, for a maximum of
32 device ports. The device ports do not send an 'break' signal to the attached servers at any
time unless specified by the user. There are no adjustments directly on the device cards. All
parameters are set up through the system administrator port.
3.3 Access Cards
The card configuration is changed with the SCS3230, compared to CS3200.
3.3.1 NETWORK / CONTROL Card
The NETWORK / CONTROL card allows
users to connect to the device cards from
an SSH or telnet session over an IP
network, and remote access to the
administration functions.
The NETWORK / CONTROL card
replaces the CONTROL card from the
CS3200, and is located in the far right slot
of the system chassis. Only one card is
required in an SCS3230.
The NETWORK / CONTROL card
includes one TERM connector for a local
Console; one 10/100 NET connector for a
TCP/IP network interface, and four
CHANNEL EXTENDER ports. The
Channel Extender ports are connected by
RJ45 cables to one to four CHANNEL
EXTENDER cards, which are an
extension of the NETWORK card's
operation.
The NETWORK / CONTROL card
supports up to sixteen simultaneous user
telnet connections and one administrator connection to the same IP address. The network card
must be connected to a network that uses TCP/IP.
