STEP 2 - Assemble the Hardware

1. If free-standing: attach the adhesive-backed

rubber feet to the Console Server’s base.

2. If rackmounted: attach the rackmount kit

to the side of the Console Server that will be

connected to the rack.

3. Connect the Console Server to your

primary network via either NET1(C) or

NET1(S). NET1(C) is an RJ-45 port. NET1(S)

accommodates an SFP (Small Form-

factor Pluggable transceiver) module for

connecting to either copper or fiber.

4. For Out-of-Band (OOB) management:

connect a NET2 RJ-45 port to

a management network.

5. Connect other devices to the Console Server’s

free serial ports, USB ports and NET2 Ethernet

ports.

6. Plug in the terminal block and and Digital

Input/Output (DIO) devices.

7. Plug in the 12-VDC power supply and turn on

power to the Console Server.

STEP 3 - Connect to the Console Server

The Console Server is addressable at either

of two IP addresses:

• Its built-in address of 192.168.0.1/24.

• The address its on-by-default DHCP client

accepts from a DHCP server on your network.

1. Using a browser on the same network

as the Console Server‘s NET1 ports with

an IP address in one of the Console Server‘s

network ranges (i.e., 192.168.0.x/24

or the range used by your DHCP server):

enter https://192.168.0.1/ or https://[DHCP-

supplied address]/ in the address bar and

press Enter.

NOTE: the Console Server has a self-signed

SSL certificate. “Untrusted connection”

errors will be present.

2. Click through these errors to load

the Console Server’s login page.

3. Enter the default system username

and password:

• USERNAME: ROOT

• PASSWORD: DEFAULT

and click Submit or press Enter.

4. The Welcome page loads.

NOTE: the Welcome page logs you out after 20

inactive minutes. The current page stays loaded,

however, and clicking any UI element loads the

loads.

Configuration and management options present

in expanded-by-default menus down the left-hand

edge. The top-level menus are Manage, Status,

Serial & Network, Alerts & Logging and System.

The rest of the page lists configuration tasks

required to turn the Console Server into a usable

unit. Some of these tasks will be marked as done

because of the Console Server‘s factory settings.

The following procedures document initial

configuration using the menus rather than the

task list.

STEP 4 - Set the Root User's Password

Set a strong, high-entropy password for the root

user.

1. Click Serial & Network > Users & Groups.

2. Click Edit for the Root User.

3. Enter a strong, high-entropy passcode

in the Password field.

4. Re-enter the passcode in the Confirm field.

5. Click Apply.

Figure 1. Set root user password

STEP 5- Set NET1’s Network Configuration Method

1. Click System > IP.

2. Click Network Interface if it is not

the front-most tab.

3. For Configuration Method, click either

the DHCP or Static radio button.

4. If Static, enter an IP Address and Subnet

Mask for the NET1 interface.

5. Click Apply.

Figure 2. Set NET1 configuration

STEP 6 - Set NET2’s Network Configuration Method

The four Ethernet ports that make up NET2

are set to inactive by default. To activate them:

1. Click System > IP.

2. Click Management LAN Interface to make it

the front-most tab.

3. Click the Deactivate this network interface

checkbox to de-select this option and

activate NET2.

4. For Configuration Method, click either

the DHCP or Static radio button.

5. If Static, enter an IP Address and Subnet

Mask for the NET2 interface. For OOB,

set these for your management network.

For IP-passthrough, set these to match

an unused private IP range.

6. Click Apply.

NOTE: the Console Server’s firewall determines

which protocols and services can access which

ports and devices. HTTPS and SSH are enabled

to the Console Server itself by default. To change

access settings for the Console Server, and for

connected serial ports, click System > Services,

click the Service Access tab and adjust as

required.

STEP 7 - Configure Managed Devices

1. Click Serial & Network > Serial Port. The

Console Server’s serial ports and their labels,

modes and protocols display. To configure

a port:

2. Click Edit.

3. Set the Common Settings for Port x to match

the device connected to serial port x.

4. To enable remote access to the device,

check the Console Server Mode radio button

in Console Server Settings and click

the checkboxes for allowed protocols

(e.g., Telnet, SSH and Web Terminal).

5. Click Apply.

NOTE: Configure user access policies

for connecting to such ports in Serial & Network

> Users & Groups. An AAA server can configure

them remotely. The Console Server User Manual

has details.
