Page 22: Device Port Buffer
2: Introduction Device Port Buffer The SLC 8000 unit supports real-time data logging for each device port. The port can save the data log to a file, send an email notification of an issue, or take no action. You can define the path for logged data on a port-by-port basis, configure file size and number of files per port for each logging event, and configure the device log to send an email alert message automatically to the appropriate parties indicating a particular error.
Page 23: Serial Port Interfaces
RJ45 patch cables may be used to connect to Cisco and Sun RJ45 serial console ports. If you are replacing an SLC with an SLC 8000 you can either switch the ports to the non-reversed pinout used by SLC units and use your original cables and adapters, or remove any rolled cables or adapters and replace them with straight-through RJ45 cables, e.g.
Page 24: Network Connections
2: Introduction Network Connections The SLC 8000 network interfaces are 10/100/1000 Base-T Ethernet for use with a conventional Ethernet network as shown in Figure 2-6. Use standard RJ45-terminated cables, like Category 5 or 6 patch cable. Additionally, CAT5E or better cables are recommended for 1000 Base Ethernet.

Page 33: Modem Installation
MODEM SERVICING INSTRUCTIONS You will need a medium size Phillips screw driver. 1. Turn off power to the SLC 8000 advanced console manager. 2. Locate the battery modem door on the top of the SLC unit. 3. Unscrew and lift the door off with the screw driver.
Page 34 3: Installation 4. Take note of the orientation of the modem so that later you can install a new modem correctly with the same orientation. 5. If there is a modem replacement, carefully lift the old modem out of its socket. 6.
Page 35: Battery Replacement
3: Installation 8. Press the modem down to make sure it sits down all the way in the socket. 9. Double-check the new modem placement to make sure it is done properly. 10. Place the battery modem door back. 11. Tighten the door screw. Battery Replacement Caution: RISK OF EXPLOSION IF BATTERY IS REPLACED BY AN INCORRECT TYPE.
Page 36 PHONE LINE BEFORE SERVICING! You will need a medium size Phillips screw driver. 1. Turn off power to the SLC 8000 advanced console manager. 2. Locate the battery modem door on the top of the SLC unit. 3. Unscrew and lift the door off with the screw driver.
Page 37 3: Installation 5. If there is a modem, carefully lift the modem out of its socket. 6. Use fingers to lift the battery out of the socket. Caution: DO NOT USE A METAL OBJECT TO PRY OUT THE BATTERY SINCE IT MAY SHORT THE BATTERY AND DAMAGE THE BATTERY HOUSING.
Page 38 3: Installation 8. Re-install the modem with correct orientation. a. Make sure also to have correct pin alignment. b. Press the modem down to make sure it sits down all the way in the socket. 9. Double-check the battery and modem placements to make sure they are done properly. 10.

Page 196: Radius
11: User Authentication RADIUS The system administrator can configure the SLC 8000 advanced console manager to use RADIUS to authenticate users attempting to log in using the Web, Telnet, SSH, or the console port. Users who are authenticated through RADIUS are granted device port access through the port permissions on this page.
Page 197 Server #2 Port Number of the TCP port on the RADIUS server used for the RADIUS service. If you do not specify an optional port, the SLC 8000 advanced console manager uses the default RADIUS port (1812). Server #2 Secret Text that serves as a shared secret between a RADIUS client and the server (SLC unit).

Remote Right to assign a remote user to a user group and assign a set of rights to the user. Authentication SSH Keys Right to set SSH keys for authenticating users.
Page 205: Tacacs
TACACS+ Similar to RADIUS, the main function of TACACS+ is to perform authentication for remote access. The SLC 8000 advanced console manager supports the TACACS+ protocol (not the older TACACS or XTACACS protocols). The system administrator can configure the SLC unit to use TACACS+ to authenticate users attempting to log in using the Web, Telnet, SSH, or the console port.
Page 206: Figure 11-9 User Authentication > Tacacs
TACACS+ Servers 1-3 IP address or host name of up to three TACACS+ servers. Secret Shared secret for message encryption between the SLC 8000 advanced console manager and the TACACS+ server. Enter an alphanumeric secret of up to 127 characters.

Page 209: Groups
Groups The SLC 8000 advanced console manager has 3 pre-defined groups: Administrators, Power Users, and Default Users. Custom groups can also be created; each custom group is a set of user attributes and permissions. Local Users and Remote Users defined on the SLC unit can be assigned to one of the pre-defined groups or a custom group.

Page 212: Ssh Keys
2. Click the Delete Group button. SSH Keys The SLC 8000 advanced console manager can import and export SSH keys to facilitate shared key authentication for all incoming and outgoing SSH connections. By using a public/private key pair, a user can access multiple hosts with a single passphrase, or, if a passphrase is not used, a user can access multiple hosts without entering a password.
Page 213: Exported Keys
The SLC can generate SSH keys for SSH connections out of the SLC advanced console manager for any SLC user. The SLC 8000 advanced console manager retains both the private and public key on the SLC unit, and makes the public key available for export via SCP, FTP, or copy and paste.

Page 220: Custom Menus
11: User Authentication Custom Menus Users can have custom user menus as their command line interface, rather than the standard CLI command set. Each custom user menu can contain up to 50 commands ('logout' is always the last command). Instead of typing each command, the user enters the number associated with the command.
