APPENDIX D: Serial Console Access
APPENDIX D: Serial Console Access
TeleReach features Serial Console access, providing remote access to a serial TTY device such as a
serially-controlled power distribution unit / power strip via TeleReach.
NOTE: To enable Serial Console access, TeleReach administrators must set Enable Serial
Access to [YES] (the default) on the Network Configuration screen (Figure 53).
Connection Diagram
The serial port found on the back of TeleReach is of type DTE. Therefore, when connecting another
DTE serial device to TeleReach, use a null modem serial cable. When connecting a DCE serial
device to TeleReach, use a straight-through serial cable.
Setting Permissions
Remote access to the serial device connected to TeleReach must be enabled by setting the "Enable
Serial Access" parameter to "YES". This parameter must be set to "YES" both globally in the Network
Configuration menu (see Figure 53), as well as locally for each user (see Figure 63).
Initiating Remote Serial Access
1. Following the directions in Chapter 5, "Remote Connection to TeleReach", use either the
web browser or Windows client to establish a connection.
2. In the "Tools" menu, select "Serial Console":
3. A terminal window will appear, displaying the console output of the serial device
connected to TeleReach.
NOTE: TeleReach Serial Console access only supports VT100 terminal emulation; be sure
your serial device is appropriately configured before connecting to TeleReach.
