Rack Mount Terminal
Drawer with Secure SSH
Console Switch
Quick Start Setup Guide
Introduction
The RACKMUX® Terminal Drawer with Secure SSH Console Switch combines a Terminal Drawer and an integrated SSH
Console Switch delivering secure management of up to 32 serial devices via the Internet, TCP/IP network, or dial-up modem
connections in only 1RU of space.
The main purpose of the Console Switch is to provide secure management of several serial devices from local or remote locations
(using Ethernet or external modems). Devices include routers, DSU's, servers, switches or any other equipment allowing serial
operation using RS232 interface. Users can work locally using the integrated Terminal Drawer or from remote locations via
Ethernet connection (Web Interface, SSH, Telnet).
Each SERIMUX port has to be configured for serial communication (baud rate, parity, etc) within the specifications of the attached
serial device, but the configurations of the two devices linked by the SERIMUX do not need to match. Various parameters
(communication speed, hardware and/or software flow control, timeout, etc) can be selected for each SERIMUX port. Devices
may be either locally connected or connected through attached modems.
Each SERIMUX port can be configured as either a host or user port. Serial hosts (such as servers, switches etc.) are connected to
host ports, while serial user devices (such as a terminal or serial console) are connected to user ports.
This guide describes the basic installation and configuration procedure. For further details, please see the SERIMUX-S-x
