Typical Setup Scenarios for the SLC
Following are typical configurations in which SLC connections can be used, with
references to settings on the Connections and Device Ports web pages.
Terminal Server
In this setup, the SLC acts as a multiplexer of serial data to a single server computer.
Terminal devices are connected to the serial ports of the SLC and configured as a
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.
Remote Access Server
In this setup, the SLC is connected to one or more modems by its device ports. Configure
the device ports on the Device Ports - Settings web page by selecting the
Dial-in
option
in the Modem Settings section. Most customers use the modems in PPP mode to
establish an IP connection to the SLC and either Telnet or SSH into the SLC. They could
also select text mode where, using a terminal emulation program, a user could dial into
the SLC and connect to the command line interface.
