3: Installation Connecting to a Device Port You can connect almost any device that has a serial console port to a device port on the SLB for remote administration. The console port must support the RS-232C interface. Note: Many servers must either have the serial port enabled as a console or the keyboard and mouse detached. Consult the server hardware and/or software documentation for more information. To connect to a device port: 1. Connect one end of the Cat 5 cable to the device port. 2. Connect the other end of the Cat 5 cable to a Lantronix serial console adapter. Note: To connect a device port to a Lantronix SLP, use the ADP010104 adapter and a Cat5 patch cable between the adapter and the connected equipment. See the appendix, Adapters and Pinouts on page 301 for more information about Lantronix adapters. Figure 3-5 CAT 5 Cable Connection Cat-5 Cable Lantronix Serial Console Adapter 3. Connect the adapter to the serial console port on the serial device. Connecting to Network Ports The SLB's network ports, 10Base-T/100Base-TX, allow remote access to the attached devices and the system administrative functions. Use a standard RJ45-terminated Category 5 cable to connect to the network port. Note: One possible use for the two Ethernet ports is to have one port on a private, secure network, and the other on an unsecured network. Ethernet bonding is also supported.
