Serial Port Connection
Console servers
all come with one to forty eight serial ports, marked
SERIAL
or
SERIAL PORTS
. These ports connect to
serially Managed Devices. Each
console server
also has either a dedicated Local Console (or modem) port marked
LOCAL
or
CONSOLE,
or one or its SERIAL ports can be software configured in Local Console mode. This Local Console
port can be used for local command line access (or external serial modem out of band connection).
-
All
console server
models except the SD4001, ACM5000 and ACM5500 have a dedicated DB9 Local Console
port. This DB9 connector is located on the front of the CM4100, IM4004-5 and IM4200 models and on the rear of
the CM4001 and CM4008.
-
The ACM5002 (and ACM5003/5004) model has two (or three or four) SERIAL PORTS presented as RJ45 ports
1-4. Similarly the ACM5504 and ACM5508 models have four or eight SERIAL PORTS presented as RJ45 ports
1-8. Port 1 on all these models by default is configured in Local Console mode
-
The SD4002 has two DB9 serial ports (Ports 1-2). By default Port 1 is configured in Local Console (modem)
mode. Similarly the SD4001 has one DB9 serial port and by default it is configured in Local Console (modem)
mode
Conventional Cat5 cabling with RJ45 jacks is generally used for serial connections. Opengear supplies an extensive
range of cables and adapters that may be required to connect to the more popular servers and network appliances.
These are also overviewed in
Appendix D - Connectivity and Serial I/O
. More detailed information is available online at
http://www.opengear.com/cabling.html
Before connecting the console port of an external device to the
console server
serial port, confirm that the device does
support the standard RS-232C (EIA-232).
The
console servers
come with one to forty eight serial connectors for the RS232 serial ports:
-
The SD4001 and SD4002/CM4001 models have DB9 serial port connectors. All other models have RJ45 serial
port connectors
-
The RJ45 serial ports are located on the rear panel of the IM4004-5 and CM4008; on the front face of the
ACM5000 and ACM5500; and on the front panel of the rack mount IM4216-34, CM4100 and IM4200
-
The ACM5000, ACM5500 and IM4216-34 models have
Cisco
serial pinouts on the RJ45 connectors (refer 2.4.3
below)
-
The CM4100, CM4000 and IM4004-5 models have
Opengear Classic
RJ45 pinout (refer 2.4.1).
-
The IM4200
console servers
are available with a selection of alternate RJ45 pinouts e.g. the IM4208-2, IM4216-2
and IM4248-2
console servers
have three RJ45 pinout configurations available - Opengear Classic, Cisco
Straight or Cyclades/Cisco Rolled (refer 2.4.1)
These alternate pinouts need to be specified in the part number at the time of order e.g. to order an IM4248-2
dual power supply AC USA model, specify:
IM4248-2-DAC-US-X0
for a unit equipped with standard Opengear Classic RJ pinouts
IM4248-2-DAC-US-X1
for a unit equipped with Cyclades RJ pinouts (rolled cable connection)
IM4248-2-DAC-US-X2
for a unit equipped with Cisco RJ pinouts (straight through cable)
Some
console server
models support RS-422 and RS-485 as well as RS-232:
-
The four RJ45 serial ports on the ACM5004-2-I and ACM5504-5-G-I are each RS-232/422/485 software
selectable - as are the eight RJ45 serial ports on the ACM5508-2-I
-
The SD4002 has one DB9 RS-232 serial port (Port 1) and one DB9/connector block RS-232/422/485 software
selectable serial port (Port 2)
-
Similarly the SD4001 has one DB9 RS-232 serial port which can be hardware selected to be RS-232 or
RS422/485
