2: Introduction
The SLC 8000 advanced console manager enables IT system administrators to manage remote
servers and IT infrastructure equipment securely over the Internet.
IT equipment can be configured, administered, and managed in a variety of ways, but most
devices have one of two methods in common: via USB port and/or via an RS-232 serial port,
sometimes called a console, auxiliary, or management port. These ports are often accessed
directly by connecting a terminal or laptop to them, meaning that the administrator must be in the
same physical location as the equipment. The SLC 8000 advanced console manager gives the
administrator a way to access them remotely from anywhere there is a network or modem
connection. The SLC 8000 unit can accommodate up to three I/O modules (16-port USB I/O
module and/or 16-port RJ45 I/O module.)
Many types of equipment can be accessed and administered using console managers including:
Servers: Unix, Linux, Windows, and others.
Networking equipment: Routers, switches, storage networking.
Telecom: PBX, voice switches.
Other systems with serial interfaces: Heating/cooling systems, security/building access
systems, UPS, medical devices.
The key benefits of using console managers:
Saves money: Enables remote management and troubleshooting without sending a
technician onsite. Reduces travel costs and downtime costs.
Saves time: Provides instant access and reduces response time, improving efficiency.
Simplifies access: Enables you to access equipment securely and remotely after hours and
Protects assets: Security features provide encryption, authentication, authorization, and

firewall features to protect your IT infrastructure while providing flexible remote access.
The SLC advanced console manager provides features such as convenient text menu
systems, break-safe operation, port buffering (logging), remote authentication, and Secure
Shell (SSH) access. Dial-up modem support ensures access when the network is not
available.
Note: USB ports are generally intended to connect directly to USB console ports. It
is also possible to connect a USB to serial adapter to them to connect to serial
console ports, if needed.

on page 41 which describes different I/O module configurations.
2: Introduction
- Up to three 16-port RJ45 I/O modules can be installed to provide a maximum of forty-
eight serial RS-232C (EIA-232) device ports. The serial RJ45 ports match the RJ45 pin-
outs of the console ports of many popular devices found in a network environment, and
where different can be converted using Lantronix adapters.
- Up to three 16-port USB I/O modules can be installed to provide a maximum of forty-
eight USB I/O device ports.
- A combination of 16-port USB I/O modules and 16-port RJ45 I/O modules can be
installed to provide up to forty-eight serial RJ45 ports and/or USB type A ports, according
to the type and number of I/O modules installed on the back of the SLC unit.
Note: The SLC8008 ships with an 8-port serial module that must be installed in
the first bay. This module is not available separately. See Table 3-8 on page 41
which describes different I/O module configurations.

SLC™ 8000 Advanced Console Manager User Guide 27
2: Introduction
Both a web interface viewed through a standard browser and a command line interface (CLI) are
available for configuring the SLC settings and monitoring performance.
Device Port and Console Port Interfaces
RS-232 RJ45 Interface
Device ports are located on the back of the SLC 8000 unit (please see Figure 2-2). The console
port is located on the front of the SLC 8000 unit (please see Figure 2-8). All devices attached to
the device ports and the console port must support the RS-232C (EIA-232) standard. For serial
RJ45 device ports and the console port, RJ45 cabling (e.g., category 5 or 6 patch cabling) is used.
Serial RJ45 device ports for the SLC 8000 advanced console manager are reversed by default so
that straight-through RJ45 patch cables may be used to connect to Cisco and Sun RJ45 serial
console ports. If you are replacing an SLC with an SLC 8000 you can either switch the ports to the
non-reversed pinout used by SLC units and use your original cables and adapters, or remove any
rolled cables or adapters and replace them with straight-through RJ45 cables, e.g. Ethernet patch
cables.
Note: RJ45 to DB9/DB25 adapters are available from Lantronix. For serial pinout
information, see the Appendix C: Adapters and Pinouts on page 419.
Device ports and the console port support the following baud-rate options: 300, 600, 1200, 2400,
4800, 9600, 19200, 38400, 57600, 115200 and 230400 baud.
USB Interface
The SLC unit can contain up to up to three I/O modules comprised of 16-port USB I/O module(s)
and/or 16-port RJ45 I/O module(s) installed in the three module bays available from the back of
the SLC 8000 unit. USB device ports can be used with a USB type A connector to serial adapter, if
needed.
Figure 2-3 shows an SLC unit containing two 16-port RJ45 I/O modules installed in Bay 1 and
Bay 2 for a total of 32 serial RJ45 device ports and one 16-port USB I/O module installed in Bay 3,
for a total of 48 device ports. Figure 2-4 shows an SLC unit containing three 16-port RJ45 I/O
modules installed in Bay 1, Bay 2 and Bay 3 for a total of 48 serial RJ45 device ports.
Note: When installing I/O modules into an SLC 8000 (Figure 2-2), Bay 1, Bay 2, and Bay
3 must be populated in order. The 8-port RJ45 serial module is supported on Bay 1 only.
I/F Card Slot: Dual Small Form-Factor Pluggable (SFP) or Dual Ethernet Port
On the left back side of the SLC 8000 unit, a dual SFP port or dual Ethernet port I/F card can be
installed. See Figure 2-5. If the dual SFP port is installed, copper or optic fiber 1 Gigabit SFP
transceiver modules may be used. The SLC 8000 supports use of single and multi-mode SFPs.
