For information about how to configure devices to interact with an SLC device port connected to an external device, see Chapter 8: Devices. This chapter contains the following sections:  Types of Endpoints and Connections  Typical Configurations of SLC Connections  Connection Configuration Types of Endpoints and Connections An SLC device port attached to an external device can be connected to one of the following endpoint types:  Another device port attached to an external device  Another device port with a modem attached  An outgoing Telnet or SSH session  An outgoing TCP or UDP network connection You can set up connections such as those described below in Typical Configurations of SLC Connections. You can establish the following types of connections:  Immediately and always after reboot.  At a specified date and time. These connections connect if the date and time have already passed.  After a specified amount of data or a specified sequence of data passes through the connection. Following reboot, the connection is not reestablished until the specified data passes through the connection. Typical Configurations of SLC Connections The following configurations are typical. Terminal Server Figure 11-1 shows the SLC console manager as a multiplexer of serial data to a single server computer. Terminal devices are connected to the serial ports of the SLC device are configured as a Device Port to Telnet out type connection on the Connections page.

11: Connections

This chapter describes how to use the Connections web page to connect external devices and

outbound network connections, such as Telnet or SSH, in various configurations. For information

about how to configure devices to interact with an SLC device port connected to an external

device, see

Chapter 8: Devices

This chapter contains the following sections:



Types of Endpoints and Connections



Typical Configurations of SLC Connections



Connection Configuration

Types of Endpoints and Connections

An SLC device port attached to an external device can be connected to one of the following

endpoint types:



Another device port attached to an external device



Another device port with a modem attached



An outgoing Telnet or SSH session



An outgoing TCP or UDP network connection

You can set up connections such as those described below in

Typical Configurations of SLC

Connections

You can establish the following types of connections:



Immediately and always after reboot.



At a specified date and time. These connections connect if the date and time have already

passed.



After a specified amount of data or a specified sequence of data passes through the

connection. Following reboot, the connection is not reestablished until the specified data

passes through the connection.

Typical Configurations of SLC Connections

The following configurations are typical.

Terminal Server

Figure 11-1

shows the SLC console manager as a multiplexer of serial data to a single server

computer. Terminal devices are connected to the serial ports of the SLC device are configured as

Device Port to Telnet out

type connection on the Connections page. The users of the terminals

can access the server as if they were connected directly to it by local serial ports or a console.
