NTI RACKMUX RACKMOUNT ANSI TERMINAL DRAWER
INTRODUCTION
The RACKMUX-T15 (formerly referred to as RACKMUX-TERMINAL) Rack Mount ANSI Terminal Drawer (RACKMUX) places a
VTxx/ANSI Terminal right in the rack for space-saving, convenient control of SUN or PC-based headless servers. This LCD
monitor terminal drawer eliminates the need for an external laptop or table-top dumb terminal. This flexib le terminal is easy to
install and configure for either of the following communicatio n modes:
RS232 Terminal (using a RS-232 port for serial console connection). Use this configuration of the RACKMUX with the NTI
SERIMUX™ Console Serial Port Switch to control multiple servers.
Telnet Terminal (using an RJ45 10Base-T network port for Ethernet telnet console connection). The Ethernet connection can be
used with any 10Mb-compatible Ethernet host adapter, but is most suited for use with RSC (Remote System Control) Ethernet
ports, since these provide the same functionality as serial (ttya) console ports. This connection supports up to 12 telnet sessions
to different servers. The state of each server session is preserved by the terminal. Terminal sessions can be switched via hotkeys. When using the Ethernet telnet connection, the Terminal Drawer can be connected to multiple servers via an Ethernet
switch. However, it is advisable that the network used to connect the server consoles remains private for security reasons.
Note: Both RS232 serial and Ethernet telnet connections cannot be active at the same time.
This general purpose character terminal drawer offers full transaction capabilities and is largely pre-configured for most
applications. It was designed in conjunction with SUN Microsystems to ensure flawless compatibility with all SUN servers. It is also
compatible with most racks, including the Sun StorEdge 72", Sun Fire rack, and most EIA 19" racks. This console drawer is the
ideal solution for controlling web servers, DNS servers, mail servers and other equipment that lack video card capability, such as
the SUN Netra systems and HP servers.
The RACKMUX Terminal drawer is also available with an integrated console switch (RACKMUX-T15-RS16 or RACKMUX-T15SS8). See our website for details.

1. INSTALLATION
1.1 Rack Mounting Instructions
1.1.1 Standard Rack
The RACKMUX was designed to be mounted to a rack and includes mounting flanges to make attachment easy.
1. Determine the mounting height in the rack for the drawer. It should be a height comfortable to use the keyboard and see the
LCD display. Mark holes in each of the 4 corner cabinet rails at points all level with each other.
2. Secure the rear brackets to the rear rack cabinet rails at the holes marked in step 1 using #10-32x3/4” screws and cage nuts
(supplied). Be sure to tighten the screws securely.
3. Lift the keyboard into position and line the studs on the left and right sides up with the slotted openings in the rear br acket.
Apply the nuts (supplied) to the studs but do not tighten the nuts yet.
FYI: There are 5 mounting studs provided on each side of the RACKMUX. Depending on the depth of the rack and
distance apart of the cabinet rails, the position of the rear bracket may make all 5 studs available for use. In this case,
apply the 2 nuts to the studs furthest apart from each other on each side.
4. Slide the drawer in until the top holes in the front bracket flanges line up with the holes marked in step 1. Secure the front
brackets on the drawer to the front cabinet rails using #10-32x3/4” screws and cage nuts (supplied). Be sure to tighten the
screws securely. Then tighten the nuts applied in step 3.

1.2 Connect The Cables
1. Connect a female SUB D 9 end of the null modem cable (supplied) to the "SERIAL 1" male SUB D 9 serial interface
connector on the RACKMUX (see Fig. 4).
2. Connect the other end of the null modem cable to a CPU.
Alternatively, use an Ethernet cable to connect to a CPU (see Fig. 5). For direct connection, use a crossover cable (see
pinout on page 46). For connection through a Local Area Network (LAN), use a patch cable wired straight through (pin
1 to pin 1, pin 2 to pin 2, etc.).
Note: A serial cable (Figure 4) and Ethernet cable cannot both be connected at the same time.
3. Connect the VEXT-1.5-MM cable between the
ports labeled "MONITOR" and "VGA".
4. If connecting a printer, connect
either a serial printer cable to
the remaining male SUB D 9
connector or a parallel printer
cable to the female SUB D 25
connector (see page 3, items 19 & 20).
5. Connect the IEC power cord to
the IEC connector.

the CPU in order to setup the RACKMUX.
2.1.1 Entering Setup
Hold down the <ALT> key and then depress the <Esc> key to enter Setup mode. When entering Setup, any text on the screen
temporarily disappears, and the main SETUP directory appears (See Figure 6). When leaving the Setup mode, the main SETUP
directory disappears, and any text that was on the screen will reappear.
2.1.2 Saving and Exiting Setup
The first menu seen when entering Setup serves as a directory to the other Setup menus. To exit Setup or any submenu, press
<F12>. Pressing <F12> will return the display to the main Setup directory and with another press of <F12> the user will be given
the option of saving the selections made.
The highlighted field at the right of the screen gives the user the choice of saving or not saving parameter chang es in the
memory before returning the terminal to the normal operating mode.
NOTE: If settings are not saved before leaving the Setup mode, any new selections will be lost when the RACKMUX is
powered-down.
To save Setup selections, depress the Spacebar to change the save field at the right side of the screen from NO to YES before
exiting Setup. (Table 1 describes your options on exiting Setup.)
Depress <F12> to leave Setup and return to the normal display mode.

(2) A tab stop in columns 79 through 132 is shown as a T in the lower line of periods
The user can easily determine where tabs are set by moving the cursor across the line and reading the column number displ ayed
on the right side of the screen. Clear and set tabs anywhere on the line, as follows:
(1) To move the cursor across the line, press < →> (right arrow) or < ←> (left arrow)
(2) To either clear or set (toggle) an individual tab stop at the cursor position, press <Spacebar>
(3) To clear all tabs, press <Home>
(4) To set tabs to the default setting (every eighth column), press <Backspace>
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------The function keys and many of the editing keys can be redefined to send a unique character string of up to 64 characters. Keys
that are not programmed will send a default sequence, which is determined by the personality selected. Table 2 lists the
programmable keys.
To redefine a key:
1. Select the key to be redefined by pressing that key together with <Ctrl> . This highlights the key's definition field.
2. Press <↑ > (up arrow) to select the shifted or unshifted key definition field.
3. Enter the key definition (up to 62 characters) at the cursor position. Correct errors by pressing < ← >(left arrow) to delete
characters or <Home> to clear the definition.
4. If the user wants to change the key's direction, press <Enter> (on the numeric pad) until the desired choice appears.
Direction determines where the key data is transmitted:
- Remote: Sends data to the CPU only, regardless of the terminal's communication mode. (Until redefined, the
direction of all the programmable keys is remote.)
- Local: Sends data to the terminal only, regardless of the terminal's communication mode
- Normal: Sends data to the CPU and / or the terminal, depending on the terminal's communication mode

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------A message of up to 20 characters can be programmed to identify the terminal to the CPU. Enter the message at the cursor
position. Correct errors by pressing <
> (left arrow) to delete characters or <Home> to clear the message.
CONCEAL hides the answerback message, so it is not displayed in setup mode.
To save the message in nonvolatile memory, exit Setup mode with the YES option.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------This menu configures the terminal for Ethernet communication. Use of Ethernet communications provides the additional abil ity to
open multiple sessions (applications) on one or more CPUs/servers at the same time. Support of these extended features requires
the server to be configured to accept telnet connections.
Note: The Ethernet option in the F4 setup menu must be set to ON for the terminal to work in an Ethernet environment.
Local IP Address is the IP address assigned to this terminal. This must be a unique IP address. An example of this address is
200.200.200.10.
Netmask is a value generated by the system based on the IP address. The system administrator would have this information. An
example is 255.255.255.0
Gateway This IP address is used to communicate with other networks. If a gateway is not being used this option should be blank.
Remote IP 0...B Address are for any remote CPU, or devices, that the terminal will communicate with for a specific session.
These twelve remote IP addresses should all be identical if all communications will be with only one CPU. If Multi-session-ON in
the F4 menu has been selected, and there is more than one CPU on the system, the user must specify which CPU each session
will communicate with. To communicate with a different CPU for a future session, these settings must be changed.
Note 1: The Multi-session option allows 8 separate sessions if any emulation other than ECON-80 is selected. If ECON-80
emulation is selected, the Multi-session option will then allow 12 separate sessions.
Note 2: Port 23 is the telnet service by default.
Note 3: The terminal must be powered cycled after saving for these parameters to take effect.
Term Type allows definition of the terminal with up to 40 characters. If Term Type is empty the default type is sent to the CPU
by the system.
Ethernet Node ID displays the serial number of the hardware Ethernet interface device. This is a default value of the
manufacturer of the hardware device and should not be changed.

selection. Attribute selections are listed below.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------The color functionality differs with emulation. In general VT100, VT220 and ANSI Console work with applications, which control
the color directly. The remaining personalities associate colors based on existing monochrome vid eo attributes. T his section will
define parameter selection based on personality selected.
Background = Will determine the color of the background screen under some conditions (16 colors).
Normal F.G. \ Normal B.G. = These fields allow the user to select the character and background color (16 colors) for data
entered on the display before the application defines the color display remotely.
Border Color = The color of the border around the edge of the screen.
Cursor = Will select the color of the cursor (16 colors).
Intensity F.G. \ Intensity B.G. = These fields allow the user to select the character and background color (16 colors) for
data entered on the display as Dim in ASCII emulation's and Bold in VT\ANSI emulation's before the application defines the color
display remotely.
Attribute = Bold/Blink
Color mode = Is automatically selected based on the emulation selected.
Color map = Applies in WY325 mode only and determines if the monochrome attribute Reverse or Blank will be used to map
* When the WY 325 personality is selected holding the Ctrl key down and depressing either the 0, 1, ..., 9 or (.) period k eys in
the numeric pad change the assignment of color on the screen. Each selection is called a pal ette and is described in Table 4.
The whole data area of the
screen will be displayed in this
color, when the application
hasn't entered character or
spaces with the Normal or
Intensity B.G. color. Changes
in Background color will
affect Normal and Intensity
B.G. Any clear screen
commands will clear to this
color.

*1. Whether the reverse or blank attribute is mapped to the colors shown depends on an escape sequence or the setting of
the Color Map setup parameter on the Attribute menu. The default is reverse. When the blank attribute is mapped, only the
background is visible.
*2. The intensity is dim in ASCII personalities and bold in ANSI personalities. (The intensity attribute is not supported in
the following personalities: Wyse 50+, ADDS A2, TVI 910+, TVI925, and VT52.) The attribute can be disabled by
an escape sequence or in setup mode (Intensity Attribute parameter).

5. COMMAND GUIDE
5.1 Commands Supported in ASCII Personalities
Table 5-1 lists all the ASCII commands recognized by the terminal. The native mode code for the command is given in the secon d
column. (The native mode includes WY-325,WY-120 and WY-60.) The remaining columns show the support for the command in
other ASCII personalities according to the following notations:
Same
Same as native code (code is native to other terminal also)
Wyse
Same as native code (Wyse enhancement- code not native to other terminal)
ENH
Same as native code when enhance mode is ON (Wyse enhancement - code not native to other terminal) A code listed under a
nonnative personality indicates that the related terminal's native code is supported.
A blank in any column indicates that the command is not supported.
Variables are shown in italics. Their values are listed in alphabetical order at the end of the table.
Footnotes are found at the end of Table 10 on page 20.

7. USING PRINTER SERVER IN ETHERNET TERMINAL
Introduction
There are two ways to send the print jobs to Ethernet Terminal for printing: 1) through LPD protocol, and 2) through TFTP
protocol.
• The LPD method is more suitable for printing environments with a large number of users because the LPD
protocol has a queue process so print jobs will be kept in the print queues in the CPU.
• TFTP does not implement the print queue concept; if the printer port is not ready for accepting new print jobs, TFTP
will be terminated. Consequently, the user must send the print job again. As a result, the TFTP protocol is suitable for
printing small jobs, in an environment with a small number of users, or for testing purposes.
LPD is a built-in printing protocol in the BSD type of UNIX and is also available in most other UNIX systems. With LPD, users do
not need to install additional software to the CPU to print the jobs. Most implementations of the LPD protocol send out the data file
before the control file. However, since Ethernet Terminal must print the data file immediately upon receiving it, the print option
specified in the control file cannot take affect.
To install the printer server function of Ethernet Terminal, the first step is Basic Setup. Whichever printing protocol will be used, it
is necessary to follow "Basic Setup" first (below). If LPD will be used to print jobs, go through the "Setup for LPD" procedures
(below). If TFTP will be used, go through the "Setup for TFTP" procedures (page 37).
7.1 Basic Setup
Because the TCP/IP world uses IP addressing to communicate with each other, the purpose of Basic Setup is to assign an
IP address to the Ethernet Terminal.
For the purpose of this explanation, assume the following:
(1) Login to the UNIX CPU as root
(2) The Ethernet terminal is on the same network segment that the CPU resides.
Step 1. Add the Print Server to /etc/hosts
Create a new entry in the /etc/hosts file on all UNIX CPUs that are slated to work with Ethernet Terminal.
To create a new entry, add the following line:
IP_Address PS_NAME # comment
where: IP_Address is an IP address.
PS_NAME is a CPU name of a print server.
The statement after # is the comment for the new entry.
e.g. 90.3.2.2 ETPS1 # Ethernet Terminal
This example assigns the name ETPS1 to the Ethernet Terminal with IP address 90.3.2.2.
NOTE: The IP address is defined in the setup screen of Ethernet Terminal, as a Local IP address. Use the same one.
Step 2. Check to see if the above steps are completed
To verify if the IP address of print Server function is installed successfully, issue the following "ping" command:
ping PS_NAME [Enter]
e.g. ping ETPS1 [Enter]
7.2 Setup for LPD
Follow those steps from step 1 to step 2 described in Basic Setup. The following steps are dependent on the operating system.
Please refer to the UNIX administration guide. The following illustrated steps are under BSD system.
Step 3. Create a spooling directory
Use mkdir command to create a directory for spooling.
e.g. mkdir/usr/spool/ETPS1
37
NTI RACKMUX RACKMOUNT ANSI TERMINAL DRAWER
Step 4. Make the directory available to LPD main process
Basically, the method has the following three procedures:
1) Assign the spooling daemon as the owner of this directory.
2) Allow the spooling daemon to be able to read from or write to the directory.
3) Enable the group of LPD main processes to be able to read from or write to the directory.
e.g. If it works on a BSD UNIX host and makes the directory /usr/ spool/ETPS1 (created in step 3) available, then follow
To add a remote printer, insert a block similar to the following in the /etc/printcap file.
Printer_name|Remote Printer on Ethernet Terminal:\
:lp=:\
:rm=PS_NAME:\
:rp=Logic_Printer_name:\
:sd=<full path of spooler directory name>:\
e.g. If Ethernet Terminal works on a BSD UNIX host, then insert the following block into /etc/printcap file.
ETPS1|Remote Printer on Ethernet Terminal:\
:lp=:\
:rm=ETPS1:\
:rp=L1:\
:sd=/usr/spool/ETPS1:\
Step 6. Start CPU's print mechanism for BSD version UNIX system
Typing: lpc start printer_name [Enter]
e.g. lpc start ETPS1 [Enter]
Now the Ethernet Terminal is configured to accept LPD printing..
7.3 LPD printing
LPD protocol is built-in to most of the UNIX system. However, detailed implementation of LPD differs among UNIX systems.
Please refer to the UNIX administration guide for reference. The following illustrated printing command is under BSD system or
System V version.
For BSD system: lpr -P <printer_name><filename>
For System V version: lp -d <printer_name><filename>
This command is to print selected file to the selected printer.
e.g. lpr -PETPS1 /etc/hosts (BSD version) or lp -dETPS1 /etc/hosts (System V version)
This example is to print the /etc/hosts file to the Ethernet Terminal printer.

7.4 Setup for TFTP
When working on the BSD UNIX system, run the setup procedure under Setup for LPD on page 34. Otherwis e run the Setup for
LPD omitting step 6.
7.5 TFTP Printing
Before using TFTP printing, the Ethernet Terminal needs to be installed completely by Setup for TFTP on page 34. TFTP Printing
lets the user send print jobs to the printers directory. There are no spooling mechanisms involved. Consequently, if that printer is
not ready, the TFTP process will be terminated immediately without sending print jobs to printers. The user must make sure the
printer is ready to print before issuing the TFTP command to have a successful result.
Log into the Ethernet Terminal with this command:
tftp <PS_NAME>
and then type:
put <file Name> Ln
where Ln is a logic printer for L1 to L8
e.g. tftp ETPS1
tftp > put /etc/hosts L1
This example prints the /etc/hosts file to the logic printer 1 of Ethernet Terminal Printer ETPS1.

8. ON-SCREEN DISPLAY (OSD)
8.1 Standard Controls
The RACKMUX LCD has 5 standard control buttons and a power LED. The 5 standard control buttons operate as follows:
• The Power button turns the RACKMUX LCD and backlight ON and OFF as desired.
• The Power LED located immediately below the Power button is a dual color
LED. It will illuminate with a green color when the RACKMUX is powered
ON and working properly. It will illuminate with a red color if the RACKMUX
is powered ON but there is no input signal detected. The LED will
illuminate red only momentarily just before turning OFF.
•The Menu button is used to bring up the OSD menu where the various
settings of the LCD display can be adjusted. Once the OSD screen is
displayed, the Menu button is used to make selections within the menus.
See "OSD Control Menu " (below) for more on LCD display settings.
•The Up and Down Arrow buttons are used to navigate through the
menus. Move the cursor up or down as desired to highlight an item for
selection. Once an item is highlighted, pressing the Menu button will
select it.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Questions and Answers
Q. What servers can the monitor be used with?
A. All Sun and headless servers to date include at least one serial RS232 port that is used as a console port when
no directly connected keyboard is present. The Ethernet console connection should only be used with servers that
include an Ethernet RSC (Remote System Control) port. Both RS232 serial and Ethernet telnet connections
cannot be active at the same time.
Q. How do I connect the terminal to a single server using a RS232 serial connection?
A. An RS232 cable is required for connection to a server with either a male DB25 or DB9 serial port. When
connecting to a Sun server with a RJ45 console port, use the RJ45 cable and RJ45 to DB25 adapter which are
included with the server. If the RJ45 to DB25M adapter and RJ45 cable are not available, contact NTI to order
DB25M-RJ45F-T (adapter) and a Cat5 Patch cable (RJ45) of the desired length.
Q. How do I connect the terminal to multiple servers using a RS232 serial connection?
A. A Console Server must be used to connect the terminal to multiple servers. Ensure that the appropriate cables
are ordered for connection to the Sun servers in addition to a terminal cable terminating in a female DB9 (or
male DB25 when used in conjunction with the included adapter) connection. To connect to a server, the operator
will first connect to the Console Server, and then use Console Server functionality to connect to the server.
Q. What is the format of the server serial connection on the terminal?
A. The pin out adheres to a standard female 9 pin [PC] connector.
Q. How do I connect the terminal to a single server using an Ethernet telnet connection?
A. When connecting to a Sun server with an Ethernet RSC console port, a crossover or cascade Ethernet cable
may be used. Alternatively, an Ethernet switch and standard RJ45 cat 5 Ethernet cables may be used. When
using an Ethernet switch, it is advisable that this network remains private for security reasons.
Q. How do I connect the terminal to multiple servers using an Ethernet telnet connection?
A. An Ethernet switch must be used to connect the terminal to multiple servers. Standard RJ45 Cat 5 Ethernet
cables should be used to connect the switch to the terminal and servers. In use, the operator can switch the
terminal connection between [up to] 12 servers by using the hot key sequence ALT-F1 through to ALT-F12. The
state of each server session is preserved by the terminal. It is advisable that the network used to connect the
server consoles remains private for security reasons.
Q. How many servers are supported by the Ethernet telnet connection?
A. The terminal allows up to 12 Ethernet connected servers to be configured.
Q. Does the terminal require an IP address when using an Ethernet connection?
A. Yes. This is defined during terminal set up.
Q. Is any server configuration required?
A. When the terminal looses power or is powered OFF, a 'break' may be generated on the RS232 host
communications port (as is common with most general purpose terminals). To prevent this halting a Sun server,
ensure that the "alternate break" sequence is configured. See SunSolve Info Doc 21258 for details. If connecting
the terminal using the RS232 connection to a Console Server, an alternate break sequence may not be required
since some Console Servers are "Break Safe" (as is the case with all Sun UK marketed Console Servers). Refer to
the Console Server documentation for details. When using an Ethernet console connection, the alternate break
sequence need not be defined. However, the RSC Ethernet port must be configured using the "rscconfig"
command.
Q. Does the keyboard support any Sun specific keys?
A. No. Character terminals are non Sun specific, and do not require any special keys. The Break key can be used
to enter the Open Boot PROM "OK" prompt.
Q. What character resolutions does the terminal support?
A. The standard resolution is 80x24 plus a status line displayed using 800x600 pixels.
Q. What rack can I mount the unit in?
A. The rack mounted monitor has been qualified in the Sun StorEdge 72" and Sun Fire racks. Although it is not
possible to guarantee, the rack mounted monitor should be compatible with other EIA 19" racks.
Q. What is the warranty?
A. The warranty period on this product (parts and labor) is two (2) years from the date of purchase.
