SLC™ Console Manager User Guide 157
11: Connections
Chapter 8: Device Ports described how to configure and interact with an SLC device port
connected to an external device. This chapter describes how to use the Devices > Connections
page to connect external devices and outbound network connections (such as Telnet or SSH) in
various configurations.
Types of Endpoints and Connections
An SLC device port attached to an external device can be connected to one of the following
endpoints:
Another device port attached to an external device
Another device port with a modem attached
An outgoing Telnet or SSH session
An outgoing TCP or UDP network connection
This enables the user to set up connections such as those described in the next section. You can
establish a connection at various times:
Immediately. These connections are always re-established after reboot.
At a specified date and time. These connections connect if the date and time have already
passed.
After a specified amount of data or a specified sequence of data passes through the
connection. Following reboot, the connection is not reestablished until the specified data
passes through the connection.
Typical Setup Scenarios for the SLC Unit
Following are typical configurations in which SLC connections can be used, with references to
settings on the Devices > Connections and Device Ports > Settings web pages.
Terminal Server
In this setup, the SLC console manager acts as a single server computer. Terminal devices are
connected to the serial ports of the SLC unit and configured as a Device Port to Telnet out type
connection on the Devices > Connections page. The users of the terminals can access the server
as if they were connected directly to it by local serial ports or a console.
