Introduction

Overview

The SN0108 / SN0116 Serial over the NET™ series are control units that provide both In-Band and Out-of-Band remote serial access to up to 8 (SN0108) or 16 (SN0116) servers or other serial IT devices (hubs, routers, power management devices, etc.), via a Telnet or SSH TCP/IP connection.
Up to 8 (SN0108) or 16 (SN0116) Users can log in at the same time from any computer connected to the Internet, whether down the hall, or half way around the world. Each is able to control a separate port so that eight attached devices can be accessed at the same time.

RJ-45 to Serial adapters, contact your dealer.
2. Use standard Ethernet cable to connect any available port on the SN0108 /
SN0116's rear panel to the adapter.
3. If you choose to install a serial modem for OOB operation (see Chapter 6),
use standard Ethernet cable to connect any available port on the SN0108 / SN0116's rear panel to a DTE to DCE serial adapter (see RJ-45 to Serial Adapters, page 92 for details on choosing the appropriate adapter), then plug the adapter into the modem's serial port.
Note: This step is optional.
4. Plug the cable that connects the SN0108 / SN0116 to the network or the
Internet into its LAN port.
5. Use the AC power cord provided with this package to connect the SN0108
/ SN0116's Power Socket to an AC power source.
This completes the SN0108 / SN0116 installation.
