Connecting to the Device Port

Any device that has a serial console port (such as a server or a switch) may be
connected to the ConsoleServer for consolidated remote administration. The
console port must support the RS-232-C serial protocol. Additionally, many
servers must either have the serial port enabled as a console, or must have the
keyboard and mouse detached. Consult the server hardware and/or software
documentation for more information.
