  • Page 6: Introduction

    The LCD monitor terminal drawer eliminates the need for an external laptop or table-top 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.
  • Page 7: Console Switch

    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).
