Conventions

This manual uses the following conventions:

Monospaced Indicates text that you should key in.

[ ] Indicates keys you should press. For example, [Enter] means to press the Enter key. If keys need to be chorded, they appear together in the same bracket with a plus sign between them: [Ctrl+Alt].

1. Numbered lists represent procedures with sequential steps.

◆ Bullet lists provide information, but do not involve sequential steps.

→ Indicates selecting the option (on a menu or dialog box, for example), that comes next. For example, Start → Run means to open the Start menu, and then select Run.

Indicates critical information.

Terminology

Throughout the manual we make reference to the terms Local and Remote in regard to the operators and equipment deployed in a Serial Console Server installation. Depending on the point of view, users and servers can be considered Local under some circumstances, and Remote under others:

♦ Serial Console Server’s Point of View

• Remote users – We refer to a user as a Remote user when we think of him as someone who logs into the Serial Console Server over the net from a location that is remote from the Serial Console Server.
• Local Console – a computer connected directly to the Serial Console Server by a physical connection.
• Servers, Serial Device, or Port Device – any device attached to the Serial Console Server’s ports via cable.

- User’s Point of View

- Local client users – We refer to a user as a Local user when we think of him as sitting at his computer performing operations on the devices connected to the Serial Console Server that is remote from him.

When we describe the overall system architecture we are usually speaking from the Serial Console Server's point of view – in which case the users are considered remote. When we speak about operations users perform via the browser, viewers, and AP programs over the net, we are usually speaking from the user's point of view – in which case the Serial Console Server and the devices connected to it are considered remote.

Overview

The SN01xxCO and SN91xxCO Series features Cisco pin-outs and auto-sensing DTE/DCE function, providing a direct connection to Cisco network switches (and other compatible devices) without rollover cables for even more time-saving IT infrastructure deployment. In addition, the SN01xxCO and SN91xxCO models support online detection of connected serial devices (including terminal blocks) for device status monitoring. A notification email alert will be sent to the administrator when connected devices are offline.

With dual Ethernet ports and power supplies, the SN01xxCO supports power redundancy as well as failover, or dual IP addresses access, ensuring 24/7 availability of access to serial devices. The SN01xxCO Series also offers dual DC (see Note) options for more flexible implementation.

Note: Available with DC power at customer's request (SN0108COD / SN0116COD / SN0132COD / SN0148COD).

Available in 8-, 16-, 32- and 48-port models, the serial console servers offer both in-band and out-of-band (OOB) remote serial console access to servers and network devices via a direct Telnet/SSH client and Java viewer. The OOB management enables IT administrators to manage network devices (e.g. router, switch, UPS) in server rooms using management networks that are separated from the main/production networks. Where access difficulty occurs in the production network, the administrators can still access them via the console server. The serial console servers offer out-of-band access methods such as direct console connection from a local computer, USB console connection from a laptop, PSTN connection via modem, or hybrid network connection via the dual LAN ports (one connected to the production network and the other connected to the management network).

Implemented with various security technologies such as TLS 1.2 data encryption, RSA 2048-bit certificates, configurable user permissions for port access and control, local/remote/third-party authentication and authorization, IP/MAC address filter, and FIPS 140-2 certified cryptography, the SN01xxCO and SN91xxCO serial console servers assure administrators the security for easy and high-level access. For instance, access rights and privileges can be applied to 8/16/32/48 serial ports individually. Data encryption is provided to

ensure that information and control are always protected. Logging and alerting of system events help to quickly resolve issues and mitigate risks. While secured by the above examples, the consolidated password authentication simplifies management.

The SN01xxCO and SN91xxCO Series are used to connect serial devices to an Ethernet network to allow access and control of demanding applications that manage industrial control, data acquisition, environment monitoring, remote facility operations and equipment management. Multiple operational modes are available to administrators including Console Management, Console Management Direct, Real Com Port, TCP Server/Client, UDP Server/Client, and Virtual Modem. Furthermore, the SN01xxCO Series works in tandem with ATEN's PDU (see Note) remote power management systems. Both can be utilized through ATEN's CC2000 software to provide centralized serial device access and integrated power management.

Note: PON port reserved for PG Series PDU.

With their comprehensive features, the SN01xxCO and SN91xxCO Series help to maximize IT productivity, increase scalability, as well as reduce installation and operational costs with easy and secure remote management of serial devices. The serial console servers save you time and money by allowing administrators to manage their data centers from practically anywhere – minimizing travel and MTTR (Mean Time to Repair) costs, ensuring the highest availability for data center services.

Overview

This chapter discusses the administrative procedures that the Super Administrator performs to get the Serial Console Server set up for the first time.

First Time Setup

Once the Serial Console Server has been cabled up, the Super Administrator needs to set up the unit for operation. This involves setting the network parameters, and changing the default Super Administrator login. The most convenient way to do this for the first time is from a local console (local VT console or a local computer running terminal application software, such as Microsoft HyperTerminal), or a Laptop USB Console (LUC) running the SNViewerUSB application (SN0108CO / SN0116CO / SN0132CO / SN0148CO only). Setup can also be done remotely over the Web via the GUI using the unit's IP address.

Note: For remote methods of setting up the network, see IP Address Determination, page 150.

Local Login

You can log in locally from a computer or laptop (SN0108CO / SN0116CO / SN0132CO / SN0148CO only) connected directly to the Serial Console Server (see Serial Console Server Installation, page 27). There are two methods for logging in locally SNViewerUSB and HyperTerminal.

The local login Main Menu is the text based equivalent of the browser based configuration and control functions described throughout this manual. You can reference the detailed information provided for the web browser version (Browser Login, page 37) as you work your way through the sub-menus to configure the settings discussed in this chapter.

Laptop USB Console (LUC) Login - SNViewerUSB

Port Operating Modes

Overview

To cover a broad range of serial applications, the Serial Console Server's COM ports support several port operating modes. These include Console Management and Console Management Direct modes for device control; and Real COM Port, Virtual Modem, TCP Server, TCP Client, and UDP Mode for Serial-to-Ethernet connectivity and applications that require COM ports, serial tunneling, or where TCP/UDP Socket functionality is needed. An explanation of the functions performed by the various operating modes is provided in the sections that follow.

Port Access User Management Device Management Log Maintenance Connections | Favorites | History | Preferences | Sessions | Access | Properties SN0132CO [01]COM1 [02]COM2 [03]COM3 [04]COM4 [05]COM5 [06]COM6 [07]COM7 [08]COM8 [09]COM9 [10]COM10 [11]COM11 [12]COM12 [13]COM13 [14]COM14 Show ATEN International Co., Ltd.

The Operating Mode is selectable from the Port Access - Properties page, under the Operation Mode tab, as shown above. From this page you can set the Port Operating Modes that are discussed in this chapter. See Operating Mode, page 73, for further details on configuring all the settings.

Operating Mode

For detailed information about the settings in each of the Operating Modes, see Operating Mode, page 73.

Console Management

Console Management mode is the most common Operating Mode used, allowing users to establish Telnet or SSH sessions to the Serial Console Server to manage the serial devices. In this mode users can log in using the web browser's built in SNViewer application via Telnet or SSH; remotely via Telnet or PuTTY; or directly using the HyperTerminal or SNViewerUSB applications.

For information about configuring Console Management settings, see page 73.

Note: Be sure that the Socket entry specified on the Network page corresponds to the port that the device listens on. 5001 is the Serial Console Server's default setting (see Network, page 100, and Base Socket, page 101).

Real COM Port

This mode is used in conjunction with a virtual COM port driver installed on the remote user's local computer. When the Serial Console Server's COM port is set to this mode, the device connected to the port appears as if it were a device directly connected to a COM port on the remote user's local computer.

This mode is useful with devices such POS terminals, Bar Code Readers, Serial printers, etc. since it allows you to use software that was written for pure serial communication applications.

The Serial Console Server comes with Real COM drivers for Windows systems and TTY drivers for Linux systems.

For information about configuring Real COM Port settings, see page 73.

TCP Server / TCP Client (Serial Tunnel)

TCP (Transmission Control Protocol) provides a reliable transport layer for transmitting serial data over the TCP protocol via socket programming.

TCP Server (RAW TCP)

In TCP Server (RAW TCP) mode, data transmission is bidirectional. In this mode, the host computer initiates contact with the Serial Console Server and requests a connection to its serial port.

Once the connection is established, the host receives data from the serial device. From this point on, data can be transmitted between the host and the device in both directions.128-bit/256-bit SSL (TLS v1.0 / TLS v1.1 / TLS v1.2) data encryption is supported in this operating mode.

The Serial Console Server supports simultaneous connections from up to 16 host computers in this mode, allowing multiple computers to communicate with the serial device at the same time.

For information about configuring TCP Server settings, see page 76.

Note: Be sure that the Socket entry specified on the Network page corresponds to the port that the device listens on. 5301 is the Serial Console Server's default setting. (see Network, page 100, and Base Socket, page 101).

TCP Client

In TCP Client mode, when serial data comes into the Serial Console Server's serial port, the Serial Console Server initiates contact with the host computer and begins sending serial data to the to the host. The Serial Console Server can send data to up to 16 host computers simultaneously, and supports 128-bit/256-bit SSL (TLS v1.0 / TLS v1.1 / TLS v1.2) data encryption in this operating mode.

For information about configuring TCP Client settings, see page 76.

UDP Mode

UDP (User Datagram Protocol) Mode is faster and more efficient at communications than TCP. In UDP mode, communications are bilateral. A serial device can send data to, and receive data from, up to 16 host computers via the Serial Console Server's COM port.

Because it doesn't perform error checking in the thorough way that TCP does, UDP is more suitable for real time applications (such as message display) than the slower TCP which is optimized for data accuracy.

For information about configuring UDP Mode settings, see page 78.

Virtual Modem

In Virtual Modem mode, the Serial Console Server's COM port emulates a modem. The port acts as if it were a real modem for communication with a remote server. This allows software designed to transmit data over a serial modem-to-modem link, to perform serial operations over a TCP/IP Ethernet connection. In this mode, the Serial Console Server “dials into” the remote

server's IP specifying the appropriate port address for the transmission. For example: atd 10.0.100.101:5000

A detailed description of the data structures and related functions of the Serial Console Server's virtual modem function is provided on page 154.

For information about configuring Virtual Modem settings, see page 78.

Note: 128-bit/256-bit SSL (TLS v1.0 / TLS v1.1 / TLS v1.2) data encryption is supported in this operating mode.

Console Management Direct

In this mode, users establish a Telnet or SSH session directly from a PC to a server or serial device connected to a port. There is no need to log in to the Serial Console Server via web browser to establish the connection. Users can log in to a serial device using Telnet, SSH or PuTTY directly from a PC.

For information about configuring Console Management Direct settings, see page 78.

Disabled

In this mode, the serial port on the Serial Console Server is disabled.

When you select the User Management tab the screen comes up with the Accounts page displayed:

Port Access User Management Device Management Log Maintenance Accounts | Groups Users administrator User List Username User Type Account Status Description administrator Super Administrator Activated Description of Administrator Add Modify Delete ATEN International Co., Ltd. All rights reserved.

The page is organized into two main areas: the Sidebar at the left, and the large main panel at the right.

- Users and groups appear in the panel at the left of the page. The large panel at the right provides more detailed information at-a-glance for each.

- The Browser GUI has separate menu bar entries for Accounts (Users) and Groups. Depending on the menu item selected, either Users or Groups are listed in the Sidebar.

- In the Browser GUI, the sort order of the information displayed can be changed by clicking the main panel column headings.

- The buttons below the main panel are used to manage users and groups, as shown in the sections that follow.

Users

The Serial Console Server supports three user types, as shown in the table bellow:

User Type Role
Super Administrator Access and manage ports and devices. Manage Users, and Groups. Configure the overall installation. Configure personal working environment.
Administrator Access and manage authorized ports and devices. Manage Users and Groups. Configure personal working environment.
User Access authorized ports and devices. Manage authorized ports and devices; configure personal working environment.Note: Users who have been given permission to do so, may also manage other users.

Adding Users

To add a user, and assign user permissions, do the following:

1. Select Users in the Sidebar.
2. Click Add at the bottom of the main panel. The User notebook opens, with the User tab selected:

User Groups Devices General Username: Password: Confirm Password: Description: Local User Role Super Administrator Administrator User Permissions Device Admin User Admin Maintenance Admin Logs Admin PDU User Broadcast User View Only User Status Disable account Account never expires Account expires on: User must change password at next logon User cannot change password Password never expires Save Back

1. Enter the required information in the appropriate fields. A description of each of the fields is given in the table below:

Field Description
Username From 1 to	16 characters are allowed depending on the Account Policy settings. See Account Policy, page 123.
Password From 0 to	16 characters are allowed depending on the Account Policy settings. See Account Policy, page 123.
Confirm Password To	be sure there is no mistake in the password, you are asked to enter it again. The two entries must match.
Description Additional	information about the user that you may wish to include.
Role There are three	categories: Super Administrator, Administrator and User. There is no limitation on the number of accounts that can be created in each category.◆ The Super Administrator is responsible for the overall installation configuration and maintenance; user management; and device and port assignments. The Super Administrator's permissions are automatically assigned by the system and cannot be altered.◆ The Administrators default permissions include everything except Device Admin and User Admin, but the permissions can be altered for each Administrator by checking or unchecking any of the permissions checkboxes.◆ The Users default permissions include PDU User and Broadcast User, but the permissions can be altered for each User by checking or unchecking any of the permissions checkboxes.
Permissions	◆ Enabling Device Admin allows a user to configure and control the settings for overall Serial Console Server operations (see Device Management, page 97).◆ Enabling User Admin allows a user to create, modify, and delete user and group accounts.◆ Enabling Maintenance Admin allows a user to perform all the Maintenance operations available under the Maintenance tab (see Maintenance, page 131).◆ Enabling Logs Admin allows a user to access the system log (see Log, page 127).◆ Enabling PDU User allows users to configure Power Over the NetTM devices◆ Enabling Broadcast User allows the use of Broadcasting◆ Enabling View Only User limits users to only being able to view the display of connected devices. They cannot control port access, nor can they input any keyboard or mouse signals to the devices they view.
Status Status allows you to control the user's account and access to the installation, as follows:◆ Disable Account lets you suspend a user's account without actually deleting it, so that it can be easily reinstated in the future.◆ If you don't want to limit the time scope of the account, select Account never expires; if you do want to limit the amount of time that the account remains in effect, select Account expires on, and key in the expiration date.◆ To require a user to change his password at the next logon, select User must change password at next logon. This can be used by the administrator to give the user a temporary password to log in for the first time, and then let the user set the password of his choice for future logins.◆ To make a password permanent, so that the user cannot change it to something else, select User cannot change password.◆ For security purposes, administrators may want users to change their passwords from time to time.◆ If not, select Password never expires. This allows users to keep their current passwords for as long as they like.◆ If so, select Password expires after, and key in the number of days allowed before the password expires. Once the time is up, a new password must be set.

1. At this point you can assign the new user to a group by selecting the Groups tab – the Groups page is discussed on page 89. You can also assign the user's port access rights by selecting the Devices tab – the Devices page is discussed on page 94.

General

The General section of the Device Information page displays and allows you to set the Device Name and Description and view the Manufacturing (MFG) information of the Serial Console Server. The Network Interfaces section provides detailed information about it's network configurations.

Note: The “MFG Number” (Manufacturing Number) is an internal serial number used by ATEN’s factory and technical support staff to identify products. This number does not affect products’ warranty. If your product requires after-sales services, you may provide the MFG Number to ATEN’s sales or technical support staff to identify the product and model number.

The SN0108CO / SN0116CO / SN0132CO / SN0148CO are designed with two power supplies. The Power Supply Detection section provides information about the two Serial Console Server's power supplies.

- The icons for Power Supply 1 and Power Supply 2 display in gray when there is no power to the power supply - they display in blue when power is present.

- When the Power Supply Detection function is enabled (there is a check in the checkbox), when there is only one source of power, the Serial Console Server will beep to warn you of the problem. The default for this function is enabled.

If you are at the Local Console you will see a message asking you to confirm that your intention is to only have one power source. If your intention is to only have one source of power, there are two ways to stop the beeping:

1) You can disable power supply warnings by unchecking the checkbox. Do this if you want to disable this function on a permanent basis.

2) You can confirm your intention in the dialog box. Do this if you only want to disable the warning temporarily. With this method, the warning function will be back in effect after the next system reset.

All rights reserved.

Each of the elements on this page is described in the sections that follow.

Note: The Enable Redundant NIC option is only available for SN0108CO / SN0116CO / SN0132CO / SN0148CO serial console servers.

IP Installer

The IP Installer is an external Windows-based utility for assigning IP addresses to the Serial Console Server.

Click one of the radio buttons to select Enable, View Only, or Disabled for the IP Installer utility. See IP Installer, page 150, for IP Installer details.

Note: 1. If you select View Only, you will be able to see the Serial Console Server in the IP Installer's Device List, but you will not be able to change the IP address.

1. For security, we strongly recommend that you set this to View Only or Disable after each use.

Service Ports

As a security measure, if a firewall is being used, the Administrator can specify the port numbers that the firewall will allow. If a port other than the default is used, users must specify the port number as part of the IP address when they log in. If an invalid port number (or no port number) is specified, the Serial Console Server will not be found. An explanation of the fields is given in the table below:

Field Explanation

HTTP The port number for a browser login. The default is 80.

HTTPS The port number for a secure browser login. The default is 443.

SSH Port The port for SSH access. The default is 22.

Telnet Port The port for Telnet access. The default is 23.

Base Socket The port used to listen for and accept a TCP connection

Note: 1. Valid entries for all of the Service Ports are from 1–65535.

1. Service ports cannot have the same value. You must set a different value for each one.

2. If there is no firewall (on an Intranet, for example), it doesn't matter what these numbers are set to, since they have no effect.

Network Configuration

♦ Redundant NIC\*

The SN0108CO / SN0116CO / SN0132CO / SN0148CO are designed with two network interfaces. If Enable Redundant NIC is enabled (the default), both interfaces make use of the IP address of network adapter eth0.

Under this configuration, the second interface is usually inactive. If there is a network failure on the first interface, the Serial Console Server automatically switches to the second interface.

- Redundant NIC Enabled – Single IP Address for Both Interfaces To enable the Redundant NIC function, do the following:

1. Click to put a check in the Enable Redundant NIC checkbox.
2. eth0 is selected in the network adapter listbox, and the listbox is disabled – you cannot configure eth1.
3. Configure the IP and DNS server addresses for eth0 (see the sections below).

◆ Redundant NIC Not Enabled – Two IP Addresses

If you choose not to enable the Redundant NIC function, the two NICs can be configured with separate interfaces. Users can log into the SN0108CO / SN0116CO / SN0132CO / SN0148CO with either IP address. To set up the Serial Console Server with this configuration, do the following:

1. If there is a check in the Enable Redundant NIC checkbox, click to remove it.
2. In the network adapter listbox; select eth0.
3. Configure the IP and DNS server addresses for eth0 (see the sections below).
4. Drop down the network adapter listbox; select eth1.
5. Configure the IP and DNS server addresses for eth1.

Note: Only available for SN0108CO / SN0116CO / SN0132CO / SN0148CO devices. To configure SN9108CO / SN9116CO serial console servers, see IPv4 Settings, page 103,

IPv4 Settings

IP Address:

IPv4 is the traditional method of specifying IP addresses. The Serial Console Server can either have its IP address assigned dynamically (DHCP), or it can be given a fixed IP address.

• For dynamic IP address assignment, select the Obtain IP address automatically radio button. (This is the default setting.)
• To specify a fixed IP address, select the Set IP address manually radio button and fill in the fields with values appropriate for your network.

Note: 1. If you choose Obtain IP address automatically, when the unit starts up it waits to get its IP address from the DHCP server. If it hasn't obtained the address after one minute, it automatically reverts to its factory default IP address (192.168.0.60 / 61.)
2. If the unit is on a network that uses DHCP to assign network addresses, and you need to ascertain its IP address, see IP Address Determination, page 150, for information./

DNS Server

• For automatic DNS Server address assignment, select the Obtain DNS Server address automatically radio button.
• To specify the DNS Server address manually, select the Set DNS server address manually radio button, and fill in the addresses for the Preferred and Alternate DNS servers with values appropriate for your network.

Note: Specifying the Alternate DNS Server address is optional.

IPv6 Settings

IP Address:

IPv6 is the new (128-bit) format for specifying IP addresses. (See IPv6, page 152 for further information.) The Serial Console Server can either have its IPv6 address assigned dynamically (DHCP), or it can be given a fixed IP address.

• For dynamic IP address assignment, select the Obtain IP address automatically radio button. (This is the default setting.)
• To specify a fixed IP address, select the Set IP address manually radio button and fill in the fields with values appropriate for your network.

DNS Server

• For automatic DNS Server address assignment, select the Obtain DNS Server address automatically radio button.
• To specify the DNS Server address manually, select the Set DNS server address manually radio button, and fill in the addresses for the Preferred and Alternate DNS servers with values appropriate for your network.

Note: Specifying the Alternate DNS Server address is optional.

Enable Dial Back

When you enable Out of Band Access, the Enable Dial Back, and Enable Dial Out functions become available, as described in the sections that follow. As an added security feature, if this function is enabled, the Serial Console Server disconnects the calls that dial in to it, and dials back to one of the entries specified in the table below:

Item Action
Enable Fixed Number Dial Back	If Fixed Number Dial Back is enabled, when there is an incoming call, the Serial Console Server hangs up the modem and dials back to the modem whose phone number is specified in the Phone Number field.Key the phone number of the modem that you want the Serial Console Server to dial back to in the Phone Number field.
Enable Flexible Dial Back	If Flexible Dial Back is enabled, the modem that the Serial Console Server dials back to doesn't have to be fixed. It can dial back to any modem that is convenient for the user, as follows:1. Key the password that the users must specify in the Password field.2. When connecting to the Serial Console Server's modem, users specify the phone number of the modem that they want the Serial Console Server to dial back to as their Username, and specify the password set in the Password field for their password.

Enable Dial Out

For the dial out function, you must establish an account with an Internet Service Provider, and use a modem to dial up to your ISP account. An explanation of the Enable Dial Out items is given in the table below:

Item Action
ISP Settings Specify the telephone number, account name (username), and password that you use to connect to your ISP.
Item Action
Dial Out Schedule	This entry sets up the times you want the Serial Console Server to dial out over the ISP connection.♦ Every provides a listing of fixed times from every hour to every four hours.♦ If you select Every two hours (for example), the Serial Console Server will start dialing out every two hours beginning at 00:00.♦ If you don't want the Serial Console Server to dial out on a fixed schedule, select Never from the list.♦ Daily at will dial out once a day at a specified time. Use the hh:mm format to specify the time.♦ PPP online time specifies how long you want the ISP connection to last before terminating the session and hanging up the modem. A setting of zero means it is always on line.
Emergency Dial Out	If the Serial Console Server gets disconnected from the network, or the network goes down, this function puts the Serial Console Server on line via the ISP dial up connection.♦ If you choose PPP stays online until network recovery, the PPP connection to the ISP will last until the network comes back up or the Serial Console Server reconnects to it.♦ If you choose PPP online time, the connection to the ISP will terminate after the amount of time that you specify is up. A setting of zero means it is always on line.
Dial Out Mail Configuration	This section provides email notification of problems that occur on the devices connected to the Serial Console Server's ports (see SMTP Settings, page 105).Note: This email notification differs from the one configured under SMTP Settings, page 105, in that it uses the ISP mail server rather than the internal company's mail server.♦ Key in the IPv4 address, IPv6 address, or domain name of your SMTP server in the SMTP Server IP Address field.♦ Key in the email address of the person responsible for the SMTP server (or some other equally responsible administrator), in the Email From field.♦ Key in the email address (addresses) of where you want the report sent to in the To field. If you are sending the report to more than one email address, separate the addresses with a comma or a semicolon.♦ If your server requires a secure SSL connection, put a check in the SMTP server requires secure connection (SSL) checkbox♦ If your server requires authentication, put a check in the SMTP server requires authentication checkbox, then key in the appropriate account name and password in the fields, below.

When you have finished making your settings on this page, click Save.

Security

The Security page is divided into 4 main panels, as described in the sections that follow.

Login Failures

For increased security, the Login Failures section allows administrators to set policies governing what happens when a user fails to log in successfully.

Login Failures Login Fail Policy: Disable User Account IP Address Locked Maximum Login Failures: 3 Lockout Period: 5 minute(s)

To set Login Failures, check one of the Login Fail Policy checkboxes. The meanings of the entries are explained in the table below:

Entry Explanation
Login Fail Policy This determines	what happens when a user fails to log in according to the security parameters that are set here. When a user exceeds the maximum login failures, you can set the Serial Console Server to:◆ Disable User Account◆ IP Address LockedThe amount of time the policy takes effect is set in the Lockout Period.
Maximum login Failures This field	sets the number of failed attempts a user is allowed before the Login Fail Policy is activated.
Lockout Period Sets the amount of time the User Account is disabled or IP Address is Locked before access will be reactivated.

Note: If a Login Fail Policy is not enabled, users can attempt to log in an unlimited number of times with no restrictions. For security purposes, we recommend that you enable this function and enable the lockout policies.

Security Level

For increased security, you can check or uncheck the boxes to High, Medium - high, Medium or Custom security features.

Security Level High ① Medium-High ② Medium ③ Custom Enable Telnet service Enable SNMP Agent service Enable ICMP service Enable SSH service Enable HTTP and redirect to HTTPS HTTPS SSL/TLS Version TLS 1.0, 1.1, 1.2

1. High (Disable all services except: SSHv2, HTTPS(TLS v1.2))
2. Medium-high (Enables SSHv2, redirect HTTP to HTTPS, HTTPS(TLS v1.2), ICMP)
3. Medium (Enables SSHv2, redirect HTTP to HTTPS, HTTPS(TLS v1.0, 1.1, 1.2), SNMP Agent, ICMP) (Default)
4. Custom: Click to check the following security options you wish to apply:

IP and MAC Filtering

IP and MAC Filters control access to the Serial Console Server based on the IP and/or MAC addresses of the client computers attempting to connect. A maximum of 100 IP filters and 100 MAC filters are allowed. If any filters have been configured, they appear in the IP Filter and/or MAC Filter list boxes.

To enable IP and/or MAC filtering, select one of the following radio buttons:

• If the Include button is selected, all the addresses within the filter are allowed access; all other addresses are denied access.
• If the Exclude button is selected, all the addresses within the filter are denied access; all other addresses are allowed access.

- Adding Filters

To add an IP filter, do the following:

1. Click Add. A dialog box appears:

IP Filter Enter the IP address to add Use a comma to separate multiple addresses. For a range of addresses, put a dash between the Start address and the End address (Start-End). OK Cancel

1. Key the IP address you want to filter.
2. After filling in the address, click OK.
3. Repeat these steps for any additional IP addresses you want to filter.

To add a MAC filter, do the following:

1. Click Add. A dialog box appears

The meanings of the Account Policy entries are explained in the table below:

Entry Explanation
Minimum Username Length Sets	the minimum number of characters required for a username. Acceptable values are from 1–16. The default is 6.
Minimum Password Length Sets	the minimum number of characters required for a password. Acceptable values are from 0–16. A setting of 0 means that no password is required. Users can log in with only a Username. The default is 6.
Password Must Contain At Least	Checking any of these items requires users to include at least one uppercase letter, one lowercase letter or one number in their password.Note: This policy only affects user accounts created after this policy has been enabled, and password changes to existing user accounts. Users accounts created before this policy was enabled, and there is no change to the existing passwords, are not affected.
Enforce Password History Checking this box will require users to create a unique password that does not match the last x passwords they've used prior. X equals the number entered in the dialog box.

Private Certificate

When logging in over a secure (SSL) connection, a signed certificate is used to verify that the user is logging in to the intended site. For enhanced security, the Private Certificate section allows you to use your own private encryption key and signed certificate, rather than the default ATEN certificate.

There are two methods for establishing your private certificate: generating a self-signed certificate; and importing a third-party certificate authority (CA) signed certificate.

- Generating a Self-Signed Certificate

If you wish to create your own self-signed certificate, a free utility – openssl.exe – is available for download over the web.

- Obtaining a CA Signed SSL Server Certificate

For the greatest security, we recommend using a third party certificate authority (CA) signed certificate. To obtain a third party signed certificate, go to a CA (Certificate Authority) website to apply for an SSL certificate. After the CA sends you the certificate and private encryption key, save them to a convenient location on your computer.

- Importing the Private Certificate

To import the private certificate, do the following:

1. Click Import from the bottom of the Private Certificate page, shown here:

New Get CSR Import Restore Defaults

1. Click Browse to the right of Certificate Filename; and browse to where your certificate file is located; and select it.
2. Click Import to complete the procedure.

Note: Clicking Restore Defaults returns the device to using the default ATEN certificate.

Certificate Signing Request

The Certificate Signing Request (CSR) section provides an automated way of obtaining and installing a CA signed SSL server certificate.

New Get CSR Import Restore Defaults

To perform this operation do the following:

1. Click New. The following dialog box appears:

Private Certificate Country (2 letter code): State or Province (ST) Locality (L) Organization(O) Organization Unit (OU) Common Name(CN) Email Address (E) Create Cancel

1. Fill in the form – with entries that are valid for your site – according to the example information in the following table:

Information Example
Country (2 letter code) TW
State or Province Taiwan
Locality Taipei
Organization Your Company.	Ltd.
Unit Tech Department
Common Name mycompany.com	Note: This must be the exact domain name of the site that you want the certificate to be valid for. If the site's domain name is www.mycompany.com, and you only specify mycompany.com, the certificate will not be valid.
Email Address [e-mail]

1. After filling in the form (all fields are required), click Create.

A self-signed certificate based on the information you just provided is now stored on the CCVSR.

1. Click Get CSR, and save the certificate file (csr.cer) to a convenient location on your computer.

This is the file that you give to the third party CA to apply for their signed SSL certificate.

1. After the CA sends you the certificate, save it to a convenient location on your computer.

2. Click Import from the lower menu bar and the Private Certificate window pops up, as shown here:

Private Certificate Certificate: Choose File No file chosen Import Cancel

1. Click Choose File to locate the certificate and select it as the Certificate Filename; then click Import to store it on the Serial Console Server.

Note: When you upload the file, the Serial Console Server checks the file to make sure the specified information still matches. If it does, the file is accepted; if not, it is rejected.

If you want to remove the certificate (to replace it with a new one because of a domain name change, for example), simply click Restore Defaults.

IP Address Determination

If you are an administrator logging in for the first time, you need to access the Serial Console Server in order to give it an IP address that users can connect to. There are three methods to choose from. In each case, your client computer must be on the same network segment as the Serial Console Server. After you have connected and logged in you can give the Serial Console Server its fixed network address. (See Network, page 100.)

The Local Console

The easiest way to assign an IP address is from the local console. Refer to First Time Setup, page 33, for details on the procedure involved.

IP Installer

For client computers running Windows, an IP address can be assigned with the IP Installer utility. The utility can be obtained from the Download area of our website. Look under Driver/SW, and the model of your Serial Console Server. After downloading the utility to your client computer, do the following:

1. Unzip the contents of IPInstaller.zip to a directory on your hard drive.
2. Go to the directory that you unzipped the IPInstaller program to and run IPInstaller.exe. A dialog box similar to the one below appears:

1. Select the Serial Console Server in the Device List.

Note: 1. If the list is empty, or your device doesn't appear, click Enumerate to refresh the Device List.
2. If there is more than one device in the list, use the MAC address to pick the one you want. The Serial Console Server MAC address is located on its bottom panel.
4. Select either Obtain an IP address automatically (DHCP), or Specify an IP address. If you chose the latter, fill the IP Address, Subnet Mask, and Gateway fields with the information appropriate to your network.
5. Click Set IP.
6. After the IP address shows up in the Device List, click Exit. See IP Installer, page 101 for more information.

Browser

1. Set your client computer's IP address to 192.168.0.XXX Where XXX represents any number or numbers except 60. (192.168.0.60 is the default address of the Serial Console Server.)
2. Specify the Serial Console Server's default IP address (192.168.0.60) in your browser, and you will be able to connect.
3. Assign a fixed IP address for the Serial Console Server that is suitable for the network segment that it resides on.
4. After you log out, reset your client computer's IP address to its original value.

IPv6

At present, the Serial Console Server supports three IPv6 address protocols: Link Local IPv6 Address, IPv6 Stateless Autoconfiguration, and Stateful Autoconfiguration (DHCPv6).

Link Local IPv6 Address

At power on, the Serial Console Server is automatically configured with a Link Local IPv6 Address (for example, fe80:210:74ff:fe61:1ef). To find out what the Link Local IPv6 Address is, log in with the Serial Console Server IPv4 address and open the Device Management → Device Information page. The address is displayed in the General list box (see page 97).

Once you have determined what the IPv6 address is, you can use it when logging in from a browser or the Win and Java Client AP programs.

For example:

If you are logging in from a browser, you would key in

http://[fe80:2001:74ff:fe6e:59%5]

for the URL bar.

If you are logging in with the AP program, you would key:

fe80:2001:74ff:fe6e:59%5

for the IP field of the Server panel (see Remote Login, page 36).

Note: 1. To log in with the Link Local IPv6 Address, the client computer must be on the same local network segment as the Serial Console Server
2. The %5 is the %interface used by the client computer. To see your client computer's IPv6 address: from the command line issue the following command: ipconfig /all. The % value appears at the end of the IPv6 address.

IPv6 Stateless Autoconfiguration

If the Serial Console Server network environment contains a device (such as a router) that supports the IPv6 Stateless Autoconfiguration function, the Serial Console Server can obtain its prefix information from that device in order to generate its IPv6 address. For example, 2001:74ff:fe6e:59.

As above, the address is displayed in the General list box of the Device Management Device Information page (see page 97).

Once you have determined what the IPv6 address is, you can use it when logging in from a browser or the Win and Java Client AP programs.

For example:

If you are logging in from a browser, you would key in

http://[2001:74ff:fe6e:59]

for the URL bar.

If you are logging in with the AP program, you would key:

2001:74ff:fe6e:59

for the IP field of the Server panel.

Virtual Modem Details

The Serial Console Server's Virtual Modem function emulates a hardware modem to provide high speed serial modem functionality over an Ethernet LAN or WAN using TCP/IP rather than over slower, less-reliable, telephone lines.

AT Command Set Support

The Serial Console Server supports a subset of the standard Hayes command set, as well as some extended commands, as shown in the following table:

Command	Operation Response

Port Forwarding

For devices located behind a router, port forwarding allows the router to pass data coming in over a specific port to a specific device. By setting the port forwarding parameters, you tell the router which device to send the data that comes in over a particular port to.

For example, if the Serial Console Server connected to a particular router has an IP address of 192.168.1.180, you would log into your router's setup program and access the Port Forwarding (sometimes referred to as Virtual Server) configuration page. You would then specify 192.168.1.180 for the IP address and the port number you want opened for it (9000 for internet access, for example).

Since configuration setup can vary somewhat for each brand of router, refer to the router's User Manual for specific information on configuring port forwarding for it.

Distance vs Baud Rate

The serial ports support different baud rates, which, in turn, determine the distance of the serial port connection.

Refer to the table below:

Baud Rate Distance
300 90m (295ft)
9,600 (default) 30m (98ft)
115,200 3m (9ft)
230,400 1.5m (4ft)

Clear Login Information

If you are unable to perform an Administrator login (because the Username and Password information has become corrupted or you have forgotten it, for example) you can clear the login information with the following procedure.

Note: Performing this procedure also returns all settings to their defaults.

To clear the login information (and return all settings to their defaults), do the following:

1. Power off the Serial Console Server and remove its housing.
2. Use a jumper cap to short the mainboard jumper labeled J11 (for SN0132CO/SN0148CO as shown in the diagram below) or J17 (for SN9108CO/SN9116CO/SN0108CO/SN0116CO).

J 11

1. Power on the Serial Console Server.
2. When the LEDs flash, power off the Serial Console Server.

3. Remove the jumper cap from J11 (SN0132CO/SN0148CO) or J17 (SN9108CO/SN9116CO/SN0108CO/SN0116CO).

4. Close the housing and start the Serial Console Server. After powering on the unit, you can use the default Super Administrator Username and Password (see First Time Setup, page 33), to log in.
