Serial Console Server User Manual

IP Installer
The IP Installer is an external Windows-based utility for assigning IP addresses
to the Serial Console Server.
Click one of the radio buttons to select Enable , View Only , or Disabled for the
IP Installer utility. See IP Installer , page 144, for IP Installer details.
Note: 1. If you select View Only , you will be able to see the Serial Console
Server in the IP Installer’s Device List, but you will not be able to
change the IP address.
2. For security, we strongly recommend that you set this to View Only
or Disable after each use.
Service Ports
As a security measure, if a firewall is being used, the Administrator can specify
the port numbers that the firewall will allow. If a port other than the default is
used, users must specify the port number as part of the IP address when they
log in. If an invalid port number (or no port number) is specified, the Serial
Console Server will not be found. An explanation of the fields is given in the
table below:
Note: 1. Valid entries for all of the Service Ports are from 1–65535.
2. Service ports cannot have the same value. You must set a different
value for each one.
3. If there is no firewall (on an Intranet, for example), it doesn’t matter
what these numbers are set to, since they have no effect.
