Digi CM Model Support

This manual offers information on Digi CM 8-port, 16-port, 32-port, and 48-port models.

Feature Overview

With Digi CM, administrators can securely monitor and control servers, routers, switches, and other network devices from anywhere on the corporate

TCP/IP network, over the Internet, or through dial-up modem connections, even when the server is unavailable through the network.

Digi CM employs SSHv2 encryption, to keep server access passwords safe from hackers, and supports all popular SSH clients, as well as secure access from any Java-enabled browser. It is the first console server to provide a secure graphical user interface for easy out-of-band management of Microsoft

Windows Server 2003 systems. It connects to serial console ports using standard CAT5 cables, eliminating the hassles of custom cabling. In addition, the Digi CM offers a PCMCIA card slot, for adding dialup modems or wireless network cards. Flash memory cards can be used to save port logs and backup configuration files.

Digi CM is available in 8-, 16-, 32and 48-port models, in a 1U rack-mount form factor.

Adding Port Administrators and Users

The system administrator and root user can add port administrators and additional users easily with the web interface by choosing System administration > User administration > Add user.

Ways to Configure the Digi CM

This section discusses the three ways to configure the Digi CM using the web interface, configuration menu, or command line interface.

Web Interface

The Digi CM web interface features HTTPS for secure access.

The web interface provides an easy way to configure the Digi CM. The root user and system administrator can configure all features through the web. Port administrators can configure ports, including port clustering, but cannot modify system settings. No other users can use the web interface for configuration.

To access the web interface, enter the Digi CM IP address or host name in a browser’s URL window. The following page is displayed after login.

Chapter 1

11

Digi CM User Manual

Ways to Configure the Digi CM

Configuration Menu

The root user and system administrator have full access to the configuration menu from a Telnet or SSH session or a serial connection through the console port. Functionality is similar to the web interface, with the exception of custom menus, which can be created only from the web interface. The configuration menu is presented to system administrators automatically. Root users access the menu by entering the command configmenu. Port administrators can access this menu but can modify serial port configuration only. No other users can access this menu.

Command Line Interface

The command line interface can be accessed from a Telnet or SSH session or from the console port. The root user always has access to this interface. The

12

Chapter 1

Introduction

system administrator can be granted read-only permission as well. No other users can access the command line interface.

Ways of Accessing the Digi CM: Overview

There are four ways to access the ports on the Digi CM:

Web Interface

Port Access Menu

Direct Port Access

Custom Menus

Web Interface Access Menu

The web interface menu provides easy and convenient access to ports. All users can access the menu by entering the Digi CM IP address or host name in a web browser’s URL window. You will only be able to see the ports that you are allowed to access.

To access a port from the web interface, do the following:

1.Access the web interface.

2.Click Serial port > Connection.

The P (Power) column allows you to control power of the attached devices, if a

Remote Power Management unit is attached and you have appropriate rights.

The M (Manage) column offers web based management for Windows Server

2003, Remote Power Management units or Rackable Systems Management Card.

The “# of User” column shows how many users are actually connected to the port and the username of the read/write user.

Chapter 1

13

Web Interface Access Menu

If you are conducting a special task through the console port, like BIOS upgrade and should not be interrupted, you can notify other users by entering a comment upon connect. This comment is shown here.

3.Select a port by clicking the icon in the C (Console) column. A Java applet or Telnet window opens with a login prompt.

The web interface can also be configured to call a local Telnet or SSH application, see "Configuring Host Mode" on page 47.

Direct Port Access

You can connect directly to a properly configured port through a Telnet or SSH session. Configuration requirements include setting the Host Mode to Console

Server Mode and the Protocol to either Telnet or SSH. Ports, by default are set to Console Server Mode and Telnet. Use the following information to make a

Custom Menus

Custom menus are created by either root or the system administrator to limit your access to specific ports. For more information, see "Making Custom

Menus" on page 69.

Port Escape Menu

Port escape is the ability to escape from a port without disconnecting. Port escape is available in main sessions as well as sniff sessions. Every connection method accommodates port escape. You configure the escape sequence per port. Follow the procedure to configure the port escape sequence.

1.Serial Port > Configuration > Select the port number or All.

2.Host mode configuration > Port escape sequence - enter a letter for the Port escape sequence. The default is <ctrl> z.

3.Click Save to flash and continue with other configurations or click Save & apply for the changes to take effect.

16

Chapter 1

Introduction

The port escape menu is automatically started if there is one active session to the port established and a second user tries to connect.

To open a sniff session:

1.Click Serial port > Connection.

2.Select the port you want to access.

3.Log in with your user name and password.

Saving and Applying Changes

In the web interface, you can save and apply configuration changes in two ways. With the one-step method, you choose “Save & apply” and changes are saved and applied (take effect) immediately. With the two-step method, you choose “Save to flash,” which immediately saves changes but the changes do not take effect until you choose Apply changes. The following topics describe how to do each of these operations.

One Step: Save and Apply Changes

To save and apply changes immediately, choose the Save & apply button.

Two-Step: Save to Flash and then Apply Changes

To save multiple changes but apply changes once, do the following:

Choose the Save to flash button.

When you finish changing the configuration, choose the Apply changes link which is located on the left navigation menu (or the Save & apply button at the bottom of the page.)

Automatic Device Recognition

This feature allows the Digi CM to automatically detect and recognize attached devices. The Digi CM sends down a probe string, “Enter”, by default then analyzes the response. It then displays the detected OS, device and port number like:

CISCO.Router.port3

Sun.nemo.port5

To enable Automatic Device Recognition:

1.Serial Port > Configuration > Select the port number or All.

2.Port title

Automatic Detection - Enable

Use detected port title - Enable

Probe String - \x0D (means <Enter>)

Device detection method - Active

Detection initiation - periodically

Detection delay - every 5 minutes

3. Click Save & apply.

For more details about Automatic Device Recognition please refer to chapter

4, Configuring Ports.

Chapter 1

19

Automatic Device Recognition

Port 3 shows a real world example of a detected device.

Automatic Device Recognition also monitors each of the configured serial ports. This allows you to receive an e-mail or SNMP trap if there is a change in the expected response from the device connected to the serial port. If the device goes down or is disconnected for any reason, you are notified.

For configuration of this alarm feature please refer to chapter 4, Configuring

Ports.

2.Configure a terminal emulation program, such as HyperTerminal, using the following settings:

bps=9600

data bits=8

parity=none

stop bits=1

flow control=none.
