2.5 Port Buffers
Thinklogical
®
Secure Console Servers provide real-time serial port data buffering. Each
port buffer stores up to 256KB of data held in a separate RAM file for each attached device.
The data may be viewed when no users are interacting with the attached port. Port buffers
are enabled by default.
2.5.1 How to Disable Buffering
Buffering is always ON when no one is connected in Interactive mode. Buffering may be
disabled during an interactive session to ensure privacy after the session ends. (See the
man
page for
stty --
buffer option.)
3. Installation
3.1 Mounting the SCS
You may choose to rack mount your SCS unit or place it on a desktop. The front panel
display should be visible and front panel buttons accessible. All connections are made to the
rear of the chassis.
3.1.1 Rack Mount or Desktop
SCS products may be installed either in an EIA-standard 19-inch rack (1U tall) or on a shelf
or desktop. For desktop use, rubber feet are provided and the rack mount brackets may be
removed. The SCS chassis does not need to be opened or accessed and the sturdy metal
case allows units to be stacked as required.
Each rack mount bracket is held on by 4 screws. The brackets may be positioned so that the
unit sits forward, flush or recessed in your rack. If the brackets are removed or repositioned, it
is not necessary to re-install the extra rack-mount screws.
