RS232 port
All UltraConsole switches are equipped with an RS232 serial port. This
port on all models is an RJ12, 6-conductor connector. It provides a
serial interface to the UltraConsole from a computer terminal, a
standalone computer or a Notebook computer that is not connected to
a CPU port on the Unit. The RS232 serial port enables you to:
Upgrade the system firmware
Restore a Unit to its factory default settings
Configure an expansion switch
Switch a KVM station to a CPU port
An adapter and serial cable are provided for serial interface.
Firmware cannot be updated from a computer terminal.
