Direct Port Access

Users can connect directly to a properly configured port through a Telnet or SSH session. Configuration requirements include
setting the Host Mode to Console Server Mode and the Protocol to either Telnet or SSH. Ports, by default, are set to Console
Server Mode and Telnet. Use the information that follows to make a Telnet or SSH connection to a port:
Type
Telnet
SSH
Note: The example assumes that the Listening TCP port is 7003, the default for port 3.

Custom Menus

Custom menus are created by either root or the system administrator to limit a user's access to specific ports. For more
information, see "Making Custom Menus" on page

Saving and Applying Changes

In the web interface, the user can save and apply configuration changes in two ways. With the one-step method, choose "Save &
apply" and changes are saved and applied enabling them to take effect immediately. With the two-step method, choose "Save to
flash," which immediately saves changes but the changes do not take effect until choosing "Apply changes." This might be more
efficiently used if multiple changes are being made. The following topics describe how to do each of these operations.
One Step: Save and Apply Changes
To save and apply changes immediately, choose the Save & apply button.
Two-Step: Save to Flash and then Apply Changes
To save multiple changes but apply changes once, do the following:
1. Choose the Save to flash button after each configuration change.
2. When finished changing the configuration, choose the Apply changes link, which is located on the main menu.

Getting Started

Introduction

This chapter covers basic configuration topics. Included is information on assigning IP settings, enabling secure access with the
web interface, accessing the unit through SSH, and adding and removing users.
Note: Initial setup is described in the Quick Start Guide included with the product packaging.

Assigning IP Settings from the Console Port

To use the console port to assign IP settings, do the following:
1. Connect the console port on the rear panel of the SERIMUX to a serial port on a workstation using the Ethernet console cable
and DB-9 adapter packaged with the SERIMUX. (See Fig. 4) The default IP address is 192.168.161.5.
Command Syntax
telnet ip-address tcp-port
where ip-address is the SERIMUX's IP
address and tcp-port is the Listening
TCP port for a port
ssh user-name@ ip-address tcp-port
where user-name is a user's name,
ipaddress is the SERIMUX's IP address
and tcp-port is the Listening TCP port for
a port
36.

Example Connection to Port 3
telnet 192.168.15.7 7003
ssh admin@ 192.168.15.7 7003
