Remote Login via SSH
You can also use a standard SSH client to access the
Serial Supervisor
options if you wish to avoid using
the Java-based SSH client in the Web interface. Simply use your SSH client (several freeware packages are
available for download, along with commercial applications) and connect to the IP address of the
CTIP-01
using port 22 (default).
Login in to the SSH session as
admin
using the same password as the Web interface. At the command
prompt type
connect x
(where
x
is the number of the
Serial Supervisor
device you wish to manage).
Alternatively, you can enter the command
connect -l
to see a list of active devices.
Operating NOTES
Ÿ
Hardware handshaking (CTS/RTS) is required for speeds exceeding 9600 bps. It is enabled by default
on the
CTIP-01
, but may need to be enabled on the other end of the connection. For Unix systems, the
command is:
stty –crtscts < /dev/[serial port]
Ÿ
Serial Supervisor
devices use a simple RS-485 multidrop network running at 115,200 bps. It is
possible that every
Serial Supervisor
device will not be inputting/outputting data at the same rate at all
time. However, since these devices use interactive logins, it is unlikely that all channels would be busy at
any one time. Hardware handshaking is used to limit the output rate of individual channels as needed.
Ÿ
A maximum of four users may simultaneously login to the same device. All users may type commands at
any time, and all users will see the same output.
NOTE
the following:
a. All users have equal access to all channels.
b. A maximum of 16
Serial Supervisor
devices may be connected at any one time.
You plug-in and unplug any
Serial Supervisor
device at any time. When reconnected, it will automatically
become available after a 15 second initialization period. Any log entries will be retained by the
Serial
Supervisor
device while deactivated, but will not be available to users until it is re-initialized.
IPMI (Intelligent Platform Management Interface) Function
Background
To offer a more complete remote server control solution, the
CTIP-01
offers an optional power management
feature that allows remote hardware restarts and the ability to power the host computer on and off. You may
be able to take advantage of this feature if the host computer you are managing supports IPMI (Intelligent
Platform Management Interface).
Host Computer Requirements
The host computer must support the IPMI standard version 1.5 to use this option. Most popular server
motherboards now support the IPMI standard. To determine if your computer supports this IPMI, consult its
