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.

2. USING THE RACKMUX

2.1 How To Setup The Terminal

The RACKMUX is compatible with most CPUs and application packages. A menu driven setup system is provided to select and save the settings required by the CPU and application. A user must be familiar with the requirements of 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.

Table 1- Main Setup Menu Exit Functions Option Function

No Returns terminal to normal operating mode without saving parameter changes for power up Yes

Shift + Esc

Saves all changes (operating parameter, tabs, key definition, and answerback message); returns terminal to its normal operating mode. Restores all setting (operating parameters, tabs, key definitions, and answerback message) to default values.

2.1.3 Setup Directory

The fields at the bottom of the screen (Figure 6) show the various setup menus where the terminal's operating parameters can be changed and the function key to press to immediately display any menu.

XPC Hndshake ON/OFF to set XPC code handshake, only possible when the personality parameter is set to PC Term. Ethernet Mode ON/OFF to set the communication routing by Ethernet Network / or Serial Port.

Note: Set to ON when using Telnet and OFF when using serial port communication.

Data / Stop Bits through the SERIAL1 port, the terminal to send and receive 8-bits data with one stop bit or two stop bits, or 7- bits data with one stop or two stops bits.

Xmt Handshake causes the terminal, when sending data to a device connected to the SERIAL1 port, to ignore all incomin g software handshaking signals (None) or to control data output in responds to Xon/Xoff handshaking.

Printer

Parallel : sends data to a parallel printer connected to the parallel port. Serial : sends data to a serial printer connected to the serial 2 port. OFF : ignores the print command.

Auto Connect OFF/ON selects whether a return character is required to establish an Ethernet connection. Parity sets the terminal send data to the SERIAL1 (printer) port with none, odd, mark, even, or space parity. Comm Mode sets the SERIAL1 port communication mode to full duplex (FDX), block (BLK), half duplex (HDX), or half duplex

block (HBLK). Multiple Sessions defines whether an Ethernet connection supports multiple sessions function.

ON : indicates the terminal supports multiple sessions. Each session only has one display page. In 80 or 132 column mode, 8 simultaneous sessions are supported. In Econ-80 column mode, 12 simultaneous sessions are supported. OFF : indicates the terminal only has single session. In this mode page length greater than one page can be defined.

Wprt Intensity sets the write protect attribute: normal, blank, dim, blank/dim. Block End causes the terminal to send a block of data to the CPU with a line terminator as an ASCII US character and block

terminator as an ASCII CR character (US / CR), or with line terminators as ASCII CR and LF characters and the block terminator as an ASCII ETX character (CRLF / ETX).

Ptr Parity causes the terminal to send the data to the SERIAL 2 (printer) port with none, odd, mark, even, or space parity. Printer RCV ON/OFF Wprt Reverse sets the write-protected characters to appear in reverse (dark characters on a light backgroun d). Ptr Baud rate sets the SERIAL 2 (printer) port baud rate to 75, 150, 300, 600, 1200, 2400, 4800, 7200, 9600, 19200, 38400,

F6-Tabs SET-UP Menu

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------On the tabs setup menu screen, the terminal's current tab stops are indicated by uppercase T's displayed alo ng a line of periods that mark each column position. (1) A tab stop in columns 2 through 78 is shown as a T in the upper line of periods (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>

Note: A tab stop cannot be set to column 1.

F7- FKeys SET-UP Definition Setup Menu

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------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

F9- Lan Setup Menu

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------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.

F11- Colr2 Set-up Menu

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------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

monochrome attributes to color.

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

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

these three procedures:

chown daemon /usr/spool/ETPS1 chmod 775 /usr/spool/ETPS1 chgrp daemon /usr/spool/ETPS1

Step 5. Add a remote printer

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.

NTI RACKMUX RACKMOUNT ANSI TERMINAL DRAWER

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.

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.
