4. Serial Port, Host, Device and User Configuration The console server enables access and control of serially attached devices and network-attached devices (hosts). The Administrator must configure access privileges for each of these devices, and specify the services that can be used to control the devices. The Administrator can also set up new users and specify each user's individual access and control privileges. 4.1 Configure Serial Ports The first step in configuring a serial port is to set the Common Settings, such as the protocols and the RS-232 parameters that are to be used for the data connection to that port (e.g. baud rate). Then you select what mode the port is to operate in. Each port can be set to support one of these operating modes: i. Disabled mode is the default. The serial port is inactive. ii. Console Server mode enables general access to serial console port on the serially attached devices. iii. Device mode sets the serial port up to communicate with an intelligent serial controlled PDU, UPS or Environmental Monitor Devices (EMD). iv. SDT mode enables graphical console access (with RDP, VNC, HTTPS etc.) to hosts that are serially connected. v. Terminal Server mode sets the serial port to await an incoming terminal login session. vi. Serial Bridge mode enables the transparent interconnection of two serial port devices over a network. Select Serial & Network: Serial Port to see details of the serial ports currently set up. By default, each serial port is set in Console Server mode. To reconfigure the port, click Edit. When you have reconfigured the common settings (see 4.1.1 Common Settings) and the mode (see sections 4.1.2 - 4.1.6) for each port, set up any remote syslog (see 4.1.7 Syslog), then click Apply. Note: If you wish to set the same protocol options for multiple serial ports at once, click Edit Multiple Ports and select which ports you wish to configure as a group. 37
