Connecting to a Device Port

You can connect any device that has a serial console port to a device port on the SLB
branch office manager for remote administration. The console port must support the RS-
232C interface.
Note: Many servers must either have the serial port enabled as a console or the
keyboard and mouse detached. Consult the server hardware and/or software
documentation for more information.
To connect to a device port:
1. Connect one end of the Cat 5 cable to the device port.
2. Connect the other end of the Cat 5 cable to a Lantronix serial console adapter.
Note: To connect a device port to a Lantronix® SLP™ management appliance, use the
rolled serial cable provided with the SLB branch office manager, a 200.2225 adapter and
Cat 5 cabling, or the ADP010104 adapter that eliminates the need for an additional Cat5
patch cable between the adapter and the connected equipment.

3. Connect the adapter to the serial console of the serial device.

Connecting to a Network Port

The SLB device's network ports (10Base-T/100Base-TX) allow remote access to the
attached devices and the system administrative functions. Use a standard RJ45-
terminated Category 5 cable to connect to the network port.
Note: One possible use for the two Ethernet ports is to have one port on a
private, secure network, and the other on an unsecured network.

Connecting a Terminal

The console port is for local access to the SLB branch office manager and the attached
devices. You may attach a dumb terminal or a computer with terminal emulation to the
console port. The SLB console port uses RS-232C protocol and supports VT100
emulation. The default baud rate is 9600.
To connect the console port to a terminal or computer with terminal emulation, Lantronix
offers optional adapters that provide a connection between an RJ45 jack and a DB9 or
DB25 connector. The console port is configured as DTE. For more information,
SLB™ Branch Office Manager User Guide
for more information about Lantronix adapters.
