Serial Console Server User Manual
Throughout the manual we make reference to the terms Local and Remote in regard to the operators and equipment deployed in a Serial Console Server installation. Depending on the point of view, users and servers can be considered Local under some circumstances, and Remote under others:
Serial Console Server’s Point of View
Remote users – We refer to a user as a Remote user when we think of him as someone who logs into the Serial Console Server over the net from a location that is remote from the Serial Console Server.
Local Console – a computer connected directly to the Serial Console Server by a physical connection.
Servers, Serial Device, or Port Device – any device attached to the Serial Console Server’s ports via cable.
User’s Point of View
Local client users – We refer to a user as a Local user when we think of him as sitting at his computer performing operations on the devices connected to the Serial Console Server that is remote from him.
When we describe the overall system architecture we are usually speaking from the Serial Console Server’s point of view – in which case the users are considered remote. When we speak about operations users perform via the browser, viewers, and AP programs over the net, we are usually speaking from the user’s point of view – in which case the Serial Console Server and the devices connected to it are considered remote.

Chapter 1
Introduction
The SN01xxCO and SN91xxCO Series features Cisco pin-outs and autosensing DTE/DCE function, providing a direct connection to Cisco network switches (and other compatible devices) without rollover cables for even more time-saving IT infrastructure deployment. In addition, the SN01xxCO and SN91xxCO models support online detection of connected serial devices (including terminal blocks) for device status monitoring. A notification email alert will be sent to the administrator when connected devices are offline.
With dual Ethernet ports and power supplies, the SN01xxCO supports power redundancy as well as failover, or dual IP addresses access, ensuring 24/7 availability of access to serial devices. The SN01xxCO Series also offers dual DC (see Note) options for more flexible implementation.
Note: Available with DC power at customer’s request (SN0108COD / SN0116COD / SN0132COD / SN0148COD).
Available in 8-, 16-, 32and 48-port models, the serial console servers offer both in-band and out-of-band (OOB) remote serial console access to servers and network devices via a direct Telnet/SSH client and Java viewer. The OOB management enables IT administrators to manage network devices (e.g. router, switch, UPS) in server rooms using management networks that are separated from the main/production networks. Where access difficulty occurs in the production network, the administrators can still access them via the console server. The serial console servers offer out-of-band access methods such as direct console connection from a local computer, USB console connection from a laptop, PSTN connection via modem, or hybrid network connection via the dual LAN ports (one connected to the production network and the other connected to the management network).
Implemented with various security technologies such as TLS 1.2 data encryption, RSA 2048-bit certificates, configurable user permissions for port access and control, local/remote/third-party authentication and authorization, IP/MAC address filter, and FIPS 140-2 certified cryptography, the SN01xxCO and SN91xxCO serial console servers assure administrators the security for easy and high-level access. For instance, access rights and privileges can be applied to 8/16/32/48 serial ports individually. Data encryption is provided to

Serial Console Server User Manual
ensure that information and control are always protected. Logging and alerting of system events help to quickly resolve issues and mitigate risks. While secured by the above examples, the consolidated password authentication simplifies management.
The SN01xxCO and SN91xxCO Series are used to connect serial devices to an Ethernet network to allow access and control of demanding applications that manage industrial control, data acquisition, environment monitoring, remote facility operations and equipment management. Multiple operational modes are available to administrators including Console Management, Console Management Direct, Real Com Port, TCP Server/Client, UDP Server/Client, and Virtual Modem. Furthermore, the SN01xxCO Series works in tandem with ATEN’s PDU (see Note) remote power management systems. Both can be utilized through ATEN’s CC2000 software to provide centralized serial device access and integrated power management.
Note: PON port reserved for PG Series PDU.
With their comprehensive features, the SN01xxCO and SN91xxCO Series help to maximize IT productivity, increase scalability, as well as reduce installation and operational costs with easy and secure remote management of serial devices. The serial console servers save you time and money by allowing administrators to manage their data centers from practically anywhere – minimizing travel and MTTR (Mean Time to Repair) costs, ensuring the highest availability for data center services.

4Reset Switch Note: This switch is recessed and must be pushed with a small
object such as the end of a paper clip, or a ballpoint pen.
Pressing and releasing this switch when the unit is running performs a system reset.
Pressing and holding this switch in for more than three seconds when the unit is running resets its configuration to the factory default settings.

Pressing and holding this switch while powering on the
|
|
switch returns the unit to its factory default firmware level, |
|
|
rather than the firmware version that the switch has been |
|
|
upgraded to. This allows you to recover from a f ailed |
|
|
firmware upgrade and gives you the opportunity to try |
|
|
upgrading the firmware again. |
|
|
Note: This operation should only be performed in the event |
|
|
of a firmware upgrade failure that results in the device |
|
|
becoming inoperable. |
