1. HARDWARE OVERVIEW
3. HARDWARE INSTALLATION
The front console port allows a dumb terminal or PC with terminal emulation software to
locally access management functions and connected devices.
The device ports allow simple and flexible connections to serial devices using adapters and
a 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.
For example, to connect a PC to the console port of the SLC 8000, you only need the RJ45
to DB9F Adapter and a standard CAT5 cable which is supplied with the unit.
The default communication parameters for the device ports and console ports are:
9600 baud • 1 stop bit • 8 data bits • No flow control • No parity
Note:
SLC 8000 device ports are reversed by default, but are software configurable.

WHAT’S IN THE BOX
The Lantronix SLC 8000 Advanced Console Manager enables IT professionals to remotely and securely administer servers and networking equipment.
Leveraging the console or emergency management port built into most servers and networking equipment, the SLC 8000 provides remote access
anywhere, anytime. All that is required is an available console, AUX, or serial port on the attached equipment. Using in
-
band management, you can
manage equipment over the network from virtually any place, using familiar tools like Telnet or Secure Shell (SSH). Out
-
of
-
band management
provides access from a local terminal or through an internal modem (P/N 56KINTMODEM
-
01, sold separately). If a modem is used, dial
-
in access is
possible in the event that the IP network is unavailable. Once connected, the user has access to the server or IT equipment’s command line interface
(CLI) via the console port to perform maintenance or management tasks. The front LCD panel and keypad allow for quick and easy network
configuration.
All SLC 8000 models are compatible with a variety of equipment, including:
• Switches • Routers • Firewalls • Servers • UPS systems • PBX systems • Telecom switches • PDU
