Pool of CAS ports
An administrator can create a pool of serial ports where each serial port in the pool shares a
pool name, TCP Port Alias, IPv4 Alias and IPv6 Alias. The first available port in the pool is
used as the serial port for connection.
NOTE: The multiple session access right does not have any effect when using a pool of CAS ports. When all ports in
the pool are taken, the connection to the pool is denied.
NOTE: All ports in the pool must share the same CAS protocol. The protocol is validated during the connection to
the serial port. If the protocol does not match, the connection will be denied.
To configure a pool of CAS ports:
1. Click Ports - Pool of CAS Ports.
2. To create a pool, click the Add button.

Add.

In the right side of the Pool Members field, select the ports to be removed from the
pool and click Remove.

later.
