Figure 11-4 shows a PC connected to the device ports on the SLC console manager as virtual
serial ports, enabling the ports to act as if they are local ports to the PC. Configure the SLC device
for this setup by using special software, for example, Com Port Redirector (available on
www.lantronix.com) or similar software.
Figure 11-4 Multiport Device Server
Console Server
Figure 11-5 shows the SLC console manager configured to manage a number of servers or
network equipment using console ports. The SLC device device ports connect to the console ports
of the server or equipment.
To manage a specific device, you can Telnet or SSH to a specific port or IP address on the SLC
console manager and connect directly to the console port of the server or device.
Set the Enable Telnet In or Enable SSH In option on SLC device from the Device Ports –
Settings page for the device port. You can implement an extra remote management capability by
adding a modem to one of the device ports and setting the Dial-in option in the Modem Settings
section of the Device Ports – Settings page. This enable you to dial into the SLC console
manager using another modem and terminal emulation program at a remote location.
