NTI RACK MOUNT CONSOLE TERMINAL WITH CONSOLE SWITCH

INTRODUCTION

The RACKMUX-T15-RS16 Rackmount Console Terminal Drawer with 16 port Console Switch (RACKMUX) places a VT100/ANSI Terminal and a Console Switch right in the rack for space-saving, convenient control of SUN or PC-based headl ess servers, routers, and firewalls. The LCD monitor terminal drawer eliminates the need for an external laptop or table-to p dumb terminal. The Console Switch delivers control of up to 16 serial devices via Ethernet, LAN or dial-up modem connections. It enables unlimited access to remote network management, providing optimum system performance and availability.

Optional:

• RACKMUX-T15-RS8 Rackmount Console Terminal Drawer with 8 port Console Switch

• Anti-glare protective glass for the LCD- Add G to the model number (i.e. RACKMUX-T15G-RS16)

• RL-T15-TEL- Mounting bracket for 2-post style Telco Rack

Console Terminal

The Console Terminal (TERMINAL) is easy to install and configure for either of the following commu nication modes: ¾ RS232 Terminal (using an RS-232 port for serial console connection). Use this configuration of the C onsole Terminal with

the Console Switch to control multiple servers.

¾ 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 SUN 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 hot-keys. 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.

The TERMINAL is a general purpose character terminal drawer offering 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, 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.

Features

• Entire unit is only 1U (1.75") high.

• High-quality metal construction (ideal for most industrial and commercial settings)

• 15" TFT Rack Mount LCD Monitor features a wide viewing angle.

Console Switch

The Console Switch (SERIMUX) includes a text-based menu for easy connection management for administrators. Using a terminal emulator the menu provides a quick means for user serial connection changes and device control.

The Console Switch (SERIMUX) is a serial port router that allows links (or connections) between multiple pairs of RS-232 asynchronous serial ports. The main purpose of the switch is to enable users to manage several serial devices from local or remote locations (using external modems). Devices include routers, DSU's, servers, switches or any other equipment allowing serial operation using RS232 interface. Users can work locally (using a VT100 or ANSI serial console or a CPU with a terminal program (i.e. HyperTerminal)) or from remote locations.

Each SERIMUX port has to be configured for serial communication (baud rate, parity, etc) within the specifications of the attached serial device, but the configurations of the two devices linked by the SERIMUX do not need to match. Various parameters (communication speed, hardware and/or software flow control, timeout, etc) can be selected for each SERIMUX port. Devices may be either locally connected or connected through attached modems.

Each SERIMUX port can be configured as either a host or user port. Serial hosts (such as servers, switches etc.) are connected to host ports, while serial user devices (such as a terminal or serial console) are connected to user ports.

The SERIMUX Console Switch supports two operator levels: user and administrator. Users login at user ports and connect to serial devices attached at host ports. The administrator (logged in at any user port) and users with administrative privil eges can see and/or modify various port or user parameters.

Features

The SERIMUX provides secure, flexible management of servers, routers, switches, and other networked devices. Key features include:

• Eliminates the need to connect each device to an ASCII terminal or PC

• Connect up to 32 devices with different baud rates, parity, and character length. Each switch also has one RJ45

connector for the local terminal

• Provides out-of-band access to network devices (servers, routers, network switches, and any other network devices

allowing console operation using RS232)

• No inadvertent "break" signals are generated to cause unintentional rebooting of SUN computers

• Available with an optional 48V DC-DC power converter for telecom environments

• Two operator levels (administrator and user)

• Switching is simplified with programmable device names and menu-drive n device selection

• Built-in data buffers save the most RS232 console output from each connected device, which simplifies troubleshooting

failures

• Local commands can be directed via VT52, VT100, ANSI serial console, a PC with a terminal emulation program, or any

compliant terminal

• The SERIMUX can be power cycled without halting a SUN host computer

• Gain access to servers without interrupting service to end-users; maintain optimal up-time

• Manage server farms or data centers via serial ports and standard external modems

1.1 Rack Mounting Instructions

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.

2. GETTING STARTED

Introduction

This chapter covers basic configuration topics. Included is information on setting up the TERMINAL to control the SERIMUX.

1. Using the instruction under “Setup The Terminal” below (or more detailed instruction on page 31), setup the TERMINAL to make connection to the SERIMUX. Configure the terminal as follows:

• Ethernet Mode set to OFF (F4 menu)

• Baud rate at 9600 bps (F4 menu)

• 8 bits (F4 menu)

• no parity (F4 menu)

• 1 stop bit (F4 menu)

• no flow control (F4 menu)

• ANSI or VT100 terminal mode (F2 menu).

Within the SERIMUX firmware, the "CONSOLE" port is the internal connection between the TERMINAL and the SERIMUX. For consistency, when Port 0 is mentioned within this manual, it refers to the connection made by the TERMINAL.

2.1 Setup The TERMINAL

To control the SERIMUX some initial settings must be configured in the TERMINAL.

2.1.1 Entering TERMINAL Setup

Hold down the <ALT> key and press 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 5). When leaving the Setup mode, the main SETUP directory disappears, and any text that was on the screen will reappear.

2.1.2 Setup Directory

The fields at the bottom of the screen 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.

Figure 5- Fields in the Setup menu display which function keys to press for submenus

2.1.3 Changing The TERMINAL Operating Parameters

To select one of the setup menus shown, press the indicated function key.

- The screen for that menu appears with the name highlighted.

- The fields at the middle of the screen indicate the parameters that can be changed in that menu.

- The top line identifies the keys to press to highlight the parameter fields and change the settings.

The procedure is: (1) Use arrow key to highlight the parameter field to be changed. (2) Use the Spacebar to change the parameter.

<F12> always returns the user to the top menu.

3. USING THE SERIMUX CONSOLE SWITCH

The SERIMUX Console Switch is controlled using the TERMINAL and menu-driven integrated software. The SERIMUX can be easily configured using the TERMINAL with a keyboard-controlled menu to modify various parameters and

options for each port to be connected to a device. The administrator menu can be accessed by the administrator for full feature control, or the user menu, by any user, for more restricted control of port connections.

The SERIMUX supports 2 operator levels, administrator and user, each with separate password pr otection for security.

• The administrator logs in using an administrator password (see next page for login procedure)

administrator name : ADMINISTRATOR or ROOT (all capital letters) default administrator password : NTI (all capital letters)

• Users login using a password set by the administrator

FYI: Users may be granted administrative access rights by the administrator.

The administrator and any user with administrative rights is able to:

• view / modify port parameters;

• view / modify user parameters and user access rights to ports;

• disconnect ports, logout users etc.

The administrator name cannot be changed.

To change the administrator password, see page 23.

Any baud rate (serial speed) between 50 bps - 128Kbps can be selected, (except for port 0, between 300 bps - 115.2 Kbps). To modify the port serial speed (baud rate);

– press [1], – enter the new value or press [T] for a table listing standard baud rates supported, – and press [Enter]. A confirmation will be required for non-standard baud rate values.

3.1.3.1.2 Data bit

The data bit number can be 5, 6, 7, 8, (except for port 0: 7 or 8). To modify the data bit number;

– press [2], – then the bit number: 5, 6, 7, 8

3.3.1.3 Stop Bit

The stop bit number can be 1, 2, 1.5 or 2.5, (except for port 0: 1 or 2 stop bits). To modify the stop bit number;

– press [3], – then [1] or [2] or [A] or [B] to select 1, 2, 1.5 or 2.5 stop bits respectively.

3.1.3.1.4 Parity

Parity is set by pressing [4], then [N] for none, [E] for even, or [O] for odd.

3.3.1.5 Flow Control

The flow control (hand shaking) can be hardware (RTS/CTS or out-band), software (Xon/Xoff or in-band), both or non e. To select the flow control;

– press [5], – then [H] or [S] or [B] or [N] respectively.

Note: If "N" for "none" is selected, data may be lost when sending large (greater than 1000 byte) data packets. Note: If a modem is attached to the port, and hardware and/or software flow control is used, the appropriate command

may be added to the modem initialization string:

Page 22

NTI RACK MOUNT CONSOLE TERMINAL WITH CONSOLE SWITCH

Flow control Command 1 Command 2

None – – RTS/CTS (hardware) &K3 \Q3 Xon/Xoff (software) &K4 \Q1 Both &K6 disable flow control (not necessary) &K0 \Q0

Consult your modem user manual or the modem AT command manual to find the suitable command.

3.1.3.1.6 Xon or Xoff Characters

Any non-printable character (ASCII codes between 0 and 31) can be used as flow control Xon or Xoff character. The software flow control is transparent, so the special character is not passed to the connected device. If the Xon and Xoff characters are equal, a toggle mode is automatically used in the software flow control: whenever the special flow control character is received, the current state of flow control is toggled.

To change the Xon or Xoff character;

– press [6], – then [0] for Xoff or [1] for Xon, – enter the new value, – then press [Enter] to save it, [Esc] or [Space] to cancel.

FYI: Press [T] after [6] to display a control codes table.

3.1.3.1.7 DTR line behavior

If a modem is not attached to the serial port, the DTR port line behavior on port disconnection can be selected as follows: the DTR line can be held high (active), low (inactive) or pulsed for 0.5 seconds and then he ld high. When a modem is attached to the port, the DTR line will be pulsed on port disconnection, disregarding this parame ter value.

To modify the DTR line behavior on port disconnection;

– press [8], – then [H] or [L] or [P] respectively.

3.1.3.1.8 Inter-character delay

An inter-character delay (1 - 60 ms) may be defined, each time a character sequence is transmitted from the port. Using this command, a minimum pause will appear between transmitted characters; for example, certain types of electro-mechanical devices (like teletype equipment) cannot process received characters continuously at their specified baud rate.

To select an inter-character delay;

– press [8], – enter the new value (0 for no delay), – and press [Enter] to save it, [Esc] or [Space] to cancel.

FYI: This parameter is not available for port 0.

3.1.3.1.9 Line-break receive or transmit

It is possible to accept the line-break received from a port, and to send it from the connected port. The break condition (when received) is defined as zero data with zero parity and no stop bits.

To allow or not the line-break receive;

– press [9], – then [Y] for allowed, – [Esc] or [Space] to cancel, any other character to deny.

To define the transmitted line-break extra-duration (this is added to the 1-character transmission time);

– press [0], – then enter the new value (1 - 999 ms) or 0 to disable it, – and press [Enter] to save it, [Esc] or [Space] to cancel.

FYI: These parameters are not available for port 0.

3.2.4 User Terse mode

This mode is especially useful when the SERIMUX is directly controlled by external software from a serial console (as a user without administrative privileges), rather than being controlled by a user from a keyboard interface.

Entering short command strings performs functions similar to the user main menu commands. A [CR] – [LF] sequence ends every string. The commands are not echoed; the SERIMUX returns to the serial console a specific answer if the command is successfully accomplished or an error message otherwise.

Terse mode can be used only if the administrator configures a user port to enter into Terse mode at login. If a keyboard-based user logs into a port intended for Terse mode operation, the following image will appear:

4. USING THE TERMINAL

4.1 How To Setup The TERMINAL

The TERMINAL 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. To control the CPU, or in this case the SERIMUX, a user must be familiar with the requirements of the SERIMUX in order to setup the TERMINAL.

4.1.1 Entering TERMINAL 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 25). When leaving the Setup mode, the main SETUP directory disappears, and any text that was on the screen will reappear.

4.1.2 Saving and Exiting Setup

The highlighted field at the right of the screen gives the user the choice of saving or not saving parameter changes into memory before returning the terminal to the normal operating mode. Settings changed will effect the operating environment until the TERMINAL is powered-down. Setting changes will only be restored at power-up if they are saved before exiting Setup.

NOTE: If settings are not saved before exiting Setup, any new selections will be lost when the RACKMUX is powereddown.

To save Setup selections

exiting Setup. (Table 3 describes your options for exiting Setup.) Depress <F12> to leave Setup and return to the normal display mode.

The procedure is: (1) Use arrow key to highlight the parameter field to be changed. (2) Use the Spacebar to change the parameter.

<F12> always returns the user to the top menu. The following tables list the parameters for each menu and explain their settings. Default settings are listed first

unless otherwise noted.

F1- Disp SETUP Menu

Columns sets the screen display for 80 columns, 132 columns, or Econ-80 (80 columns with more pages of memory). Lines sets the screen display for 24, 25, 42, or 43 lines. (24 lines are normally required for VT emulation, 25 lines for PC Term.) Auto Page on causes a new page of memory to move onto the screen when the cursor reaches the top or bottom of the page. Display CRT/LCD selects which kind of monitor be used. If LCD monitor is selected, the display columns only support 80

columns on Econ-80 columns. Must be set to LCD.

Cursor sets the cursor display to blink or steady, block or underline. Background sets the screen display to Dark (light chars. on a dark background) or Light (dark chars. on a light background). Width Change Clear causes the terminal to clear the screen when executing a command to change the number of columns. Screen Saver OFF, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6. Sets the screen saver to activate after the specified number of minutes. Page Length sets the length of a page of display memory to:

• 1 x Lines: Equal to the number of lines selected in the lines parameter (this value must be set when using multiple sessions)

• 2 x Lines: Two times the value of the lines parameter

• 4 x Lines: Four times the value of the lines parameter, or

• *: Equal to the value of the lines parameter, with a second page containing the rest of the lines remaining in memory.

ANSI Reverse OFF/ON. Control function ANSI, VT-100 and VT-220:

• "OFFf" means, when SGR command ESC [ 3? m and ESC [ 4? m select background and foreground color change respectively.

• "ON" means, when SGR command ESC [ 3? m and ESC [ 4? m select foreground and background color change respectively. (?

• can be 0,1,2,...,7)

F2- Genrl SETUP Menu

Monitor causes the terminal to display symbols for escape sequences and control codes without acting on them (test feature). Status Line sets the top line of the screen as the status line.

End of Line Wrap causes the cursor to move to the start of the next line when additional characters are entered at the end of a

line. Attribute sets display attributes to be assigned to each character as it is entered (Char), to be active to the end of the line (Line),

or to be active to the end of the page (Page).

F3- Keybd SETUP Menu

Keyclick sets the terminal to sound a muted beep each time a key is pressed or repeated. Margin Bell sets the terminal's bell to ring when the cursor reaches the column where the bell is set (default is column 72 in 80-

column mode or 124 in 132-column mode).

NRC ON/OFF determines the communication and keyboard national character set. DEL Keypad Dot/Del or Comma/Del. Determines whether numlock DEL generates dot or comma.

Key Repeat OFF, 1, .... ,8. Defines key repeat rate after a key has been depressed for about 1/2 second.

Language sets correct terminal operation for the language of the keyboard connected to it: US, UK, Danish, German, Spanish,

Swedish, Norwegian, Italian, French, Belgian, Swiss/French, and Swiss/German. Should be set to US.

Bell Volume OFF, 1, 2, 3 (3 different volumes) Limit Xmt causes the terminal to send data through the HOST port as fast as the baud rate allows (None), or at a maximum rate

of 60 cps or 150 cps. In older systems limiting character rate is necessary to prevent loss of data. Key Code sets the terminal to send normal ASCII characters (ASCII) or PC-type scan codes for every key up / down (Scan).

Scan is only required for the PC Term personality. Num Start ON/OFF. When the terminal powers ON, this field determines whether the numeric pad starts as Numeric (NUM ON)

or Function (NUM OFF).

F4- Comm SETUP Menu

Baud Rate sets the host port baud rate to 50, 110, 134.5, 200, 300, 600, 1200, 2400, 4800, 7200, 9600, 19200, 38400, 57600,

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 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).

Page 40

NTI RACK MOUNT CONSOLE TERMINAL WITH CONSOLE SWITCH

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.

F5- Misc SETUP Menu

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,

57600, 76800, 115200, 230400, 460800.

Ptr Rcv Hndshake sets the printer receive handshake through SERIAL 2 to be none, DTR, Xon / Xoff, DTR/Xoff . Wprt Underline sets the write-protected characters to appear underlined. Ptr Data/Stop Bits sets the data and stop bits through the SERIAL 2 (printer) port. Ptr Xmt Hndshake sets the printer handshake to be none, DSR, Xon / Xoff, or Both .

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 4 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

To save the message in nonvolatile memory, exit Setup mode with the YES option.

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 CP U. If Multiple sessions-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 Multiple session option allows 8 separate sessions if any emulation other than ECON-80 is selected. If ECON-80 emulation is selected, the Multiple session option will then allows 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.

4.6 Using Printer Server via Ethernet Connection

Introduction

In order to send print jobs to a network-based printer, the Ethernet Print Terminal function in the TERMINAL must be used. To use this function, the Telnet Terminal communication option described on page 1 is available. For this option to work, an Ethernet cable must be connected as described on page 6.

There are two ways to send the print jobs to a network-connected printer: 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 Print 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 Print Terminal, the first step is Basic setup. Whichever printing protocol will be used, it is necessary to run basic setup first. If LPD will be used to print jobs, go through the Setup for LPD procedures. If TFTP will be used, go through the Setup for TFTP procedures.

4.6.1 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 Print Terminal.

For the purpose of this explanation, assume the following: (1) Login to the UNIX CPU as root (2) The Ethernet Print Terminal is on the same network segment that the printer 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 Print 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 Print Terminal with IP address 90.3.2.2.

NOTE: The IP address is defined in setup Screen of Ethernet Print Terminal, as a Local IP address. Use the same on e.

Step 2. Check to see if 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]

Page 66

NTI RACK MOUNT CONSOLE TERMINAL WITH CONSOLE SWITCH

4.6.2 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

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 Print 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 Print Terminal is configured to accept LPD printing..

Page 67

NTI RACK MOUNT CONSOLE TERMINAL WITH CONSOLE SWITCH

4.6.3 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 Print Terminal printer.

4.6.4 Setup for TFTP

When working on the BSD UNIX system, run the setup procedure under Setup for LPD on page 61. Otherwis e run the Setup for LPD omitting

step 6.

4.6.5 TFTP Printing

Before using TFTP printing, the Ethernet Print Terminal needs to be installed completely by Setup for TFTP (above). 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 Print 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 Print Terminal printer ETPS1.

5.4 Serial Port Cabling

The SERIMUX simplifies cabling. The RJ45 8-pin configuration matches al l SUN and Cisco RJ45 console port configurations, enabling CAT 5 cabling without pinout concerns. Three DB-25 and one DB-9 adapters come in the package. A DB-25 male, a DB25 female, and a DB-9 adapter support console management applications. A DB-25 male adapter provides a modem connection. See the cable adapter information that follows later in this chapter.

Note: The cable length restrictions common to RS-232 cables apply to the SERIMUX serial cable as well.

5.5 Serial Port Pinouts

The SERIMUX uses an RJ45 connector for serial ports. Pin assignments are as follows:
