NTI RACK MOUNT CONSOLE TERMINAL WITH CONSOLE SWITCH INTRODUCTION The SERIMUX-TERM-CS-x (x=8 or 16) combines a 8 or 16 port Console Switch (SERIMUX) and a VT100/ANSI Terminal Converter (TERMINAL) in a single package controlled by a PS/2 keyboard and VGA monitor. The Console Switch uses menudriven integrated software. The SERIMUX-TERM-CS-16 can control of up to 16 serial devices including servers, switches, routers, and telecom gear.
NTI RACK MOUNT CONSOLE TERMINAL WITH CONSOLE SWITCH Console Switch The Console Switch (SERIMUX) includes a text-based menu for easy connection management for administrators. Using a terminal emulator the menu provides a quick means for user serial connection changes and device control. The Console Switch (SERIMUX) is a serial port router that allows links (or connections) between multiple pairs of RS-232 asynchronous serial ports.

Receive the binary file from the SERIMUX (for example, in HyperTerminal for Windows, use the Transfer -> Receive File command). 2. When saving the file, choose a directory to place the file in and a name that will identify it with the extension " .bin" (i.e. SERIMUX1_8.bin).
NTI RACK MOUNT CONSOLE TERMINAL WITH CONSOLE SWITCH 3.2. User Controls Users can connect only to accessible ports as defined by the administrator. A list of those ports will be displayed with a successful login. Connection can be made using the TERMINAL, or a serial terminal with an emulator (e.g. Windows HyperTerminal) connected to the SERIMUX at an allowed user port To login, press the [Spacebar] or [Enter] key. Users can login by entering a valid name and password, assigned by the administrator.

NTI RACK MOUNT CONSOLE TERMINAL WITH CONSOLE SWITCH Auto Scroll causes the data to scroll up a line when the cursor moves past the last line of the page. Monitor causes the terminal to display symbols for escape sequences and control codes without acting on them (test feature). Status Line sets the top line of the screen as the status line. End of Line Wrap causes the cursor to move to the start of the next line when additional characters are entered at the end of a line.
NTI RACK MOUNT CONSOLE TERMINAL WITH CONSOLE SWITCH Comm Mode sets the SERIAL1 port communication mode to full duplex (FDX), block (BLK), half duplex (HDX), or half duplex block (HBLK).
