CONNECTING THE SLC
The console port allows a dumb terminal or PC with terminal emulation software
to locally access management functions and connected devices.
Device ports allow simple and flexible
connections to serial devices using
adapters and standard CAT5 cable.
Connect one end of the CAT5 cable to
the device port, and the other end to
an adapter that attaches to the serial
console of the target system.
The default communication parameters for the
device ports and the console port are:
• 9600 baud
• 8 data bits
• No parity
• 1 stop bit
• No flow control
For example, to connect a PC to the console port of the
SLC, you only need the female DB9 adapter (Part #
200.2070A) and a standard CAT5 cable, both of which are
supplied with your unit.
INSTALLING THE SLC
1. Install the unit in a 19-inch rack.
Warning: Be careful not to block the air vents on the sides of the unit. If you
mount it in an enclosed rack, we recommend that the rack have a ventilation fan
.
INSTALLING THE SLC CONTINUED
2. Connect equipment to the numbered device ports on the back of
the unit using the appropriate cables and adapters.
3. Install any PC cards you intend to use (optional). If you install a
modem card, connect to the phone line.
4. Connect the unit to the network through top of network port #1.
5. Connect the power cord and apply power.
6. Wait about a minute and a half for the boot process to end.
When the boot process ends, the SLC model name and the clock appear
on the LCD display. Detected faults or process messages may also display.
IP ADDRESSING
Both of the SLC network ports (Eth1 and Eth2) default to DHCP-assigned
IP addresses. If you want to assign a different IP address, it must be within
a valid range, unique to your network, and with the same subnet mask as
your workstation.
To configure the SLC, you need the following information:
IP address (if not already assigned): ______ . ______ . ______ . ______
Subnet mask (if not already assigned): ______ . ______ . ______ . ______
Gateway: ______ . ______ . ______ . ______
DNS: ______ . ______ . ______ . ______
