4. Serial Port, Host, Device and User Configuration 4.1.3 SDT Mode This secure tunneling setting allows port forwarding of RDP, VNC, HTPP, HTTPS, SSH, telnet and other LAN protocols to computers locally connected to the console server by their serial COM port. However, such port forwarding requires a PPP link to be set up over this serial port. For configuration details, refer to section 6.4 SDT Connector: Using Telnet or SSH to Connect Devices that are Serially Attached to the Console Server. 4.1.4 Device (RPC, UPS, EMD) Mode This mode configures the selected serial port to communicate with a serial-controlled Uninterruptable Power Supply (UPS), Remote Power Controller / Power Distribution Unit (RPC) or Environmental Monitoring Device (EMD). Select the desired Device Type (UPS, RPC or EMD). Proceed to the appropriate device configuration page (Serial & Network: UPS Connections, RPC Connection or Environmental) as detailed in section 8. Power, Environment and Digital I/O. 4.1.5 Terminal Server Mode Select Terminal Server Mode and the Terminal Type (vt220, vt102, vt100, Linux or ANSI) to enable a getty on the selected serial port The getty will then configure the port and wait for a connection to be made. An active connection on a serial device is usually indicated by the Data Carrier Detect (DCD) pin on the serial device. When a connection is detected, the getty program issues a login: prompt, then invokes the login program to handle the actual system login. Note: Selecting Terminal Server mode will disable Port Manager for that serial port. Data will no longer log for alerts etc. 43
