  • Page 7: Introduction

    1: Introduction The Black Box LES2700A-16-R3 and LES2700A-32-R3 are Terminal Servers that provide shared network access to terminals, devices, console ports, and printers for a variety of network protocols and operating systems. These Terminal Servers support the TCP/IP, IPX (NetWare), Local Area Transport (LAT), AppleTalk (EtherTalk), and Microsoft LAN Manager protocols.

  • Page 8: How To Use This Manual

    1.2 How to Use This Manual This guide is structured as follows: Chapter 2, Installation explains how to physically install the Terminal Server. Chapter 3, Getting Started explains the minimum configuration needed. Chapter 4, Using the Terminal Server explains some of the ways that you can use your Terminal Server.

  • Page 9: Installation

    2: Installation This chapter describes the various Terminal Server models and shows how to install them into a basic network situation. 2.1 Terminal Server Product Descriptions 2.1.1 LES2700A-16-R3 Front Panel The LES2700A-16-R3 has 16 RJ45 serial ports, a Reset button, an AUI Ethernet port, an RJ45 Ethernet port for 10/100BASE-T, several LEDs, and a power switch.

  • Page 10: Leds

    2.1.3 LEDs Each Terminal Server has a total of 37 LEDs. Each serial port has one (LES2700A-32-R3) or two (LES2700A-16-R3) corresponding LEDs that indicate receive and transmit activity, and there are five LEDs on the right side of the case. Their functionality is shown in Table 2-1.

  • Page 11: Installing The Terminal Server

    2.2 Installing the Terminal Server The following diagram shows a properly-installed LES2700A-16-R3. Installation will generally be the same for both models, the only difference being the type of serial ports available. See Terminal Server Product Descriptions on page 3 for more information.

    See Appendix 12, Pinouts, for information about what kinds of device attachments the Terminal Server supports. Connect an Ethernet cable to either the 10/100BASE-T port (shown) or a transceiver connected to the AUI port. The Terminal Server will boot without a valid Ethernet connection, but it will pause to print a message asking if you want to stop at the Boot>...

    EZWebCon requires a Java Virtual Machine (JVM) on the client. Black Box provides JVM installers for Solaris and 32-bit Windows users, as well as source code and instructions for compiling it for other systems.

    For instructions on how to use the Terminal Server in serial tunnel mode, see Serial Tunnel Example on page 16. For information about using the Terminal Server with the Black Box Comm Port Re- director, see Comm Port Redirector on page 17.

  • Page 17: Console Server Example

    4.1 Console Server Example When you use the Terminal Server as a console server, you can remotely manage devices and equipment from anywhere on the network. Figure 4-1: Console Server To use the Terminal Server as a console server, you must connect the Terminal Server serial ports to the serial console/management ports of other equipment such as UNIX servers, PBX switches, routers, network switches, or other similar devices.

  • Page 18: Define The Menus

    To give your menu a name, use a Define Menu Title command. Figure 4-3: Menu Title Local>> DEFINE MENU TITLE "Black Box Console Server:" There are three types of menu entries: those that connect users to devices on the network, those that connect users to devices attached to the Terminal Server, and those that function locally on the Terminal Server.

    Figure 4-8: New Menu Local_1>> show menu Title for the menu is "Black Box Console Server" 1: Cisco Router --> "telnet 192.0.1.250;kill" 2: Sun Server --> "telnet 192.0.1.251;kill" 3: HPUX Server --> "connect local port_3"...

  • Page 20: Configure Switches

    If you want incoming logins from the network to be able to use the menu, you must enable menu mode on port 0. Users who Telnet into the Terminal Server would see the menu rather than the Local> prompt. Administrators can bypass the menu and get to the Terminal Server Note: command line by forming a Telnet connection to port 7000.

  • Page 21: Using Menus

    When you log into a port with menu mode enabled, you will be presented with an initial login screen. Figure 4-12: Login Screen Black Box LESxx Version B3.6/3 (000410) Type HELP at the 'Local_10> ' prompt for assistance. Username> Enter your user name (in this case, Bob) and press Return.

  • Page 22: Serial Tunnel Example

    4.2 Serial Tunnel Example Two Terminal Servers can be connected to emulate a direct serial connection across a LAN or WAN. Servers connected in this way can pass data only—they will not be able to pass status signals (DSR/DTR, CTS/RTS, etc.) or preserve timing between characters. The basic network configuration for this virtual serial line is shown in Figure 4-15.

Note that data can only be saved if the port is set to dedicated mode. In all other modes autostart chars are discarded. Once the connection has been started, several different triggers can be used to force the server to transmit all accumulated serial data to the host.

    In addition, there are a few important things to note about LPR printing: Windows for Workgroups, Windows 95, and Windows 98 do not support LPR di- rectly; however, Black Box has provided a peer-to-peer printing solution on the dis- tribution CD-ROM.

  • Page 29: Lpr On Windows Nt 3.5.1 (And Later)

    Because of the way the LPR protocol is typically implemented on the host, the pro- cessing options and banner page are sent after the job data itself. The Terminal Serv- er will print a banner page at the end of a job, and cannot support most of the LPR options.
  • Page 30 Select the Add Port button and click Next. Select LPR Port. If LPR Port is not an option, open the Network Control Panel and add Note: “Microsoft TCP/IP Printing” to the List of services. Enter the name or IP address of your Terminal Server on the first line, and enter the name of your Terminal Server print service on the second line.

    Create a world-writable spooling directory using the mkdir command. Figure 5-8: Creating Spooling Directory # mkdir /usr/spool/lpd/les_prt # chmod 777 /usr/spool/lpd/les_prt If desired, use the mx option to allow unlimited size files to be printed and the sh option to prevent header pages from being generated. See the host's documentation or man pages for more information on the format of the printcap file and how to cre- ate the spool directory.

To configure a print queue using LPR, issue the mkdev rlp command.

  • Page 36: Rtel Functionality

    If the LPR method of printing is not adequate for an application (for example, if you need banners before jobs, or more flexibility), configure the Black Box-supplied RTEL software on the host. After installing the software configuring the connections to the Terminal Server, you can use normal UNIX print commands and queue utilities such as lpc and lpstat.
