2: Introduction Device Port Interfaces RS-232 RJ45 Interface All devices attached to the device ports and the console port must support the RS-232C (EIA-232) standard. For serial RJ45 device ports and the console port, RJ45 cabling (e.g., category 5 or 6 patch cabling) is used. Serial RJ45 device ports for the SLC 8000 advanced console manager are reversed by default so that straight-through RJ45 patch cables may be used to connect to Cisco and Sun RJ45 serial console ports. If you are replacing an SLC with an SLC 8000 you can either switch the ports to the non-reversed pinout used by SLC units and use your original cables and adapters, or remove any rolled cables or adapters and replace them with straight-through RJ45 cables, e.g. Ethernet patch cables. Note: RJ45 to DB9/DB25 adapters are available from Lantronix. For serial pinout information, see the Appendix C: Adapters and Pinouts on page 341. Device ports and the console port support the following baud-rate options: 300, 600, 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600, 19200, 38400, 57600, 115200 and 230400 baud. USB Interface The SLC unit can contain up to up to three I/O modules comprised of 16-port USB I/O module(s) and/or 16-port RJ45 I/O module(s) on the back of the unit. USB device ports can be used with a USB type A connector to serial adapter, if needed. Figure 2-3 shows an SLC unit containing two 16-port RJ45 I/O modules installed in Bay 1 and Bay 2 for a total of 32 serial RJ45 device ports and one 16-port USB I/O module installed in Bay 3, for a total of 48 device ports. Figure 2-4 shows an SLC unit containing three 16-port RJ45 I/O modules installed in Bay 1, Bay 2 and Bay 3 for a total of 48 serial RJ45 device ports. Note: In the installation of I/O modules, Bay 1, Bay 2, and Bay 3 must be populated in order. The 8-port RJ45 serial module is supported on Bay 1 only.

SLC™ 8000 Advanced Console Manager User Guide

Device Port Interfaces

RS-232 RJ45 Interface

All devices attached to the device ports and the console port must support the RS-232C (EIA-232)

standard. For serial RJ45 device ports and the console port, RJ45 cabling (e.g., category 5 or 6

patch cabling) is used.

Serial RJ45 device ports for the SLC 8000 advanced console manager are reversed by default so

that straight-through RJ45 patch cables may be used to connect to Cisco and Sun RJ45 serial

console ports. If you are replacing an SLC with an SLC 8000 you can either switch the ports to the

non-reversed pinout used by SLC units and use your original cables and adapters, or remove any

rolled cables or adapters and replace them with straight-through RJ45 cables, e.g. Ethernet patch

cables.

Note:

RJ45 to DB9/DB25 adapters are available from Lantronix. For serial pinout

information, see the

Appendix C: Adapters and Pinouts on page 341

Device ports and the console port support the following baud-rate options: 300, 600, 1200, 2400,

4800, 9600, 19200, 38400, 57600, 115200 and 230400 baud.

USB Interface

The SLC unit can contain up to up to three I/O modules comprised of 16-port USB I/O module(s)

and/or 16-port RJ45 I/O module(s) on the back of the unit. USB device ports can be used with a

USB type A connector to serial adapter, if needed.

Figure 2-3

shows an SLC unit containing two 16-port RJ45 I/O modules installed in Bay 1 and

Bay 2 for a total of 32 serial RJ45 device ports and one 16-port USB I/O module installed in Bay 3,

for a total of 48 device ports.

Figure 2-4

shows an SLC unit containing three 16-port RJ45 I/O

modules installed in Bay 1, Bay 2 and Bay 3 for a total of 48 serial RJ45 device ports.

Note:

In the installation of I/O modules, Bay 1, Bay 2, and Bay 3 must be populated in

order. The 8-port RJ45 serial module is supported on Bay 1 only.
