NTI RACK MOUNT CONSOLE TERMINAL WITH CONSOLE SWITCH
1
INTRODUCTION
The RACKMUX-T15-RS16 Rackmount Console Terminal Drawer with 16 port Console Switch (RACKMUX) places a VT100/ANSI
Terminal and a Console Switch right in the rack for space-saving, convenient control of SUN or PC-based headless servers,
routers, and firewalls. The LCD monitor terminal drawer eliminates the need for an external laptop or table-top dumb terminal.
The Console Switch delivers control of up to 16 serial devices via Ethernet, LAN or dial-up modem connections. It enables
unlimited access to remote network management, providing optimum system performance and availability.
Optional:
• RACKMUX-T15-RS8 Rackmount Console Terminal Drawer with 8 port Console Switch
• Anti-glare protective glass for the LCD- Add G to the model number (i.e. RACKMUX-T15G-RS16)
• RL-T15-TEL- Mounting bracket for 2-post style Telco Rack
Console Terminal
The Console Terminal (TERMINAL) is easy to install and configure for either of the following communication modes:
¾ RS232 Terminal (using an RS-232 port for serial console connection). Use this configuration of the Console Terminal with
the Console Switch to control multiple servers.
¾ Telnet Terminal (using an RJ45 10Base-T network port for Ethernet telnet console connection). The Ethernet connection can
be used with any 10Mb-compatible Ethernet host adapter, but is most suited for use with SUN RSC (Remote System Control)
Ethernet ports, since these provide the same functionality as serial (ttya) console ports. This connection supports up to 12
telnet sessions to different servers. The state of each server session is preserved by the terminal. Terminal sessions can be
switched via hot-keys. When using the Ethernet telnet connection, the Terminal Drawer can be connected to multiple servers
via an Ethernet switch. However, it is advisable that the network used to connect the server consoles remains private for
security reasons.
Note: Both RS232 serial and Ethernet telnet connections cannot be active at the same time.
The TERMINAL is a general purpose character terminal drawer offering full transaction capabilities and is largely pre-configured
for most applications. It was designed in conjunction with SUN Microsystems to ensure flawless compatibility with all SUN servers.
It is also compatible with most racks, including the Sun StorEdge 72", Sun Fire, and most EIA 19" racks. This console drawer is
the ideal solution for controlling web servers, DNS servers, mail servers and other equipment that lack video card capability, such
as the SUN Netra systems and HP servers.
