For enhanced security, users can use their 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

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

To ensure security, it is recommended to use a third-party CA-signed SSL certificate obtained from a CA (Certificate Authority) website. Make sure to save the obtained certificate and its private encryption key on the PC.

From this page, users can set the serial ports of the Secure Device Server to the various Port Operating modes available, as explained below

Operating Mode

To configure the serial ports' operating mode, see Operating Mode, page 27.

Real COM

This mode is used in conjunction with a virtual COM port driver installed on a remote PC. (See Chapter 9, Virtual Serial Port Manager) When the Secure Device Server's COM port is set to this mode, the device connected appears as if it were directly connected to a COM port on the remote PC.

    D --> E["Power Meter, Temperature and Humidity Sensor"]

This mode is useful with devices such POS terminals, bar code readers, serial printers, etc. since it allows users to use software that was written for pure serial communication applications.

The Secure Device Server comes with Real COM drivers for Windows systems (Virtual Serial Port Utility) and TTY drivers for Linux systems.

TCP Server & Client

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

    C --> D["R5232"]
    D --> E["CNC machine, PLC"]

TCP Server

In TCP Server mode, data transmission is bidirectional. In this mode, the host computer initiates contact with the Secure Device 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. SSL data encryption is supported in this operating mode.

The Secure Device 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.

Note: Be sure that the Base socket entry specified on the General Settings page corresponds to the port that the device listens on. 5001 is the Secure Device Server's default setting. (See General, page 34.)

TCP Client

In TCP Client mode, when serial data comes into the serial port, the Secure Device Server initiates contact with the host computer and begins sending serial data to the to the host. The Secure Device Server can send data to up to 16 host computers simultaneously, and supports SSL data encryption in this operating mode.

For configuring the serial port's operating mode, see Operating Mode, page 27.

Serial Tunneling Server & Client

Serial Tunneling involves establishing a direct connection between two Secure Device Servers over Ethernet, working in a Client-Server relationship. One unit is designated as the Serial Tunneling Client, while the other designated as the Serial Tunneling Server.

ATEN SN3001 - Serial Tunneling Server & Client - 1

    B --> C["Network"]
    C --> D["SN3001P (Serial Tunneling Client)"]
    D -->|RS232| E["Barcode Scanner, Card Reader"]

Note: In this configuration, it doesn't matter which is designated as the Client and/or Server.

The COM port of one of the two units connects to the COM port of a computer, while the COM port of the other unit connects to the serial device to be accessed.

The two units then communicate with each other via their IP and port addresses, and supports SSL data encryption. The port address is set by the Base socket entry on the General Settings page. See General, page 34, for details.

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 Secure Device Server's COM port.

    B --> C["SN3001P"]
    C --> D["RS232"]

    E --> F["LED Sign Board"]

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.

Console Management

Console Management allows users to establish Telnet and/or SSH sessions to the Secure Device Server for managing and controlling the serial devices connected. Users can log in using Java SNViwer application via Telnet or SSH, or remotely via Telnet, SSH, or PuTTY.

Note: 1. Be sure that the Base socket entry specified on the General Settings page corresponds to the port that the device listens on. 5001 is the Secure Device Server's default setting (see General, page 34).

  1. In this mode, the Secure Device Server can also be connected to a Cisco Network Switch using the Cisco console cable (DB-9 to RJ-45).

Console Management Direct

When the Direct option under Console Management mode is enabled, users can establish a Telnet or SSH session directly from a PC to a serial device connected to the Secure Device Server without requiring to log in via a web browser. Users can log in to a connected serial device using Telnet, SSH, or PuTTY directly from a PC.

For configuring the serial port's operating mode, see Operating Mode, page 27.

Disable

In this mode, the serial port of the Secure Device Server is disabled.

For configuring the serial port's operating mode, see Operating Mode, page 27.

Virtual Serial Port Manager

Overview

The Secure Device Server offers a Virtual COM port driver for Windows, Real TTY driver for Linux, and Fixed TTY driver for OpenServer, Solaris, FreeBSD, AIX, and Mac.

By running the driver on a PC, devices connected to the Secure Device Server's COM ports, appear as if they were directly connected to the COM ports of that PC.

Note: The Operating Mode of the serial ports must be set as Real COM to be configured as a virtual port (see Operating Mode, page 27).

Data transmission takes place over the Ethernet between the PC's virtual COM port and the devices connected to the Secure Device Server's COM ports.

Users can download and install the driver corresponding to their PC OS from the Secure Device Server's product web page.

Real COM Port Management — Virtual Serial Port Manager

The Virtual Serial Port Manager is a utility that provides a convenient interface for COM port mapping.

Note: The Virtual Serial Port Manager only supports Windows and Linux with Kernel 4.15.0-43 and 4.2.0-27. For other versions of Linux systems, see Real COM Port Management — Linux Commands, page 78.

Start Virtual Serial Port Manager (Start > Virtual Port Management Utility > Virtual Serial Port Manager). The following dialog box appears.

ATEN SN3001 - Real COM Port Management — Virtual Serial Port Manager - 1

text_image Virtual Serial Port Manager Enumeration Operation Language Help Enum Targets Enum Ports Map Unmap Exit Target Information IP Socket 5200 Name Type SNJ001 Add Target Delete Target Target Name IP Address Socket Port Target Type Target Ports DOM Ports Walking Mode Status Refresh Mapped COM Ports COM Ports Mapped From

Utility Interface

The Virtual Serial Port Manager's interface is laid out as follows:

  • The menu and button bars allow the automatic enumeration and listing of devices and ports.
    Below the menu and button bars is an area to input the required information for manually listing devices if the target device doesn't appear using the automatic enumeration method.
  • All devices found through enumeration or manually entered are listed in the left panel.
  • All ports found on the device selected are enumerated in the central panel.
  • The right panel displays any virtual COM port mapping that have been made.

The Virtual Serial Port Manager menu and toolbar consist of the same functions. Users can either click the menu items or buttons to invoke the desired function, as described in the table below.

Item Action
Enum TargetsThis function searches and lists all SN devices within the LAN — these include Secure Device Server, as well as ATEN Serial Console Servers. The results are shown in the Target List panel (see Target List, page 74, for details). Beware that all devices listed in the Target List will be deleted when the delete function is invoked. Be sure to remove any devices from the list that you don’t want to delete before invoking the delete function.
Enum Ports This functionlists the existing ports for the target device currently selected in the Target List. The results are shown in the Port List panel.
MapAfter selecting a port from the Port List panel, selecting this function maps the device’s COM port to a virtual COM port on the user’s PC.
UnmapAfter selecting a port from the Mapped Ports list, selecting this function removes the mapping between the PC and the device’s COM port.

Target Information

The Target Information fields allow users to install (map) ports on an offline target device, as described below.

Field Action
Target IP AddressInput the IP address of the target that you want to map COM ports to.
Base Socket PortThe base socket port of the target device. For Real COM port operation, the default base socket port is 5200.
Target Name The nameof the target. If it is different from the target's real name, will be replaced by the real one. Note that the name is not related to the mapping / unmapping process. Only the IP address, socket port and target type are relevant.
Target Type The type oftarget to be mapped. SN3001 / SN3002 and ATEN Serial Console Servers are valid target types.Note:SN3001 includes SN3001P, and SN3002 includes SN3002P.
Add Target Creates anentry in the Target List based on the above information.
Delete Target Removethe currently selected target from the Target List.

Target List

The left panel displays all the devices that were found with the Enumeration function, as well as any devices that were manually added with the Target Information fields.

Note: Double-clicking an item in the list invokes the same function as selecting Enum Ports, which displays the numbers and working modes of the selected target's ports in the Port List column.

If a device was automatically listed as a result of the Enumeration procedure, the icon to its left is drawn with green dots and lines to show that the target is online and ready to be mapped.
If a device was added to the list manually and is offline, the icon to its left is drawn with black dots and lines. Double-clicking a manually added item shall display its information in the Port List, but the working mode information is not accurate and we must assume that all the device's ports are in Real COM mode. See Operating Mode, page 27, for details about port modes.
If the target is offline or is online but does not respond within 2 seconds of asking to enumerate its ports, the working mode information is not accurate and we must assume that all the device's ports are in Real COM mode. See Operating Mode, page 27, for details about port modes.

Port List

This list displays the port information of the selected target (only one target can be selected at a time).

  2. Issue the following command:

/AtenVPMapping

The process can run in either Interactive mode or Fast mode. With Interactive mode, users are not required to specify any parameters on the command line. They make mapping/unmapping choices based on questions generated as the program runs.

With Fast mode, users must specify parameters on the command line to indicate their mapping/unmapping choices — as shown in the following examples:

  1. Mapping (input should be all within one line):
    ./AtenVPMapping map(1) PCPort(0-255) TargetIP(a.b.c.d)
    TargetPort(1-48) NumberofMapping(1-48)

  2. Unmapping (input should be all within one line):
    ./AtenVPMapping unmap(0) PCPort(0-255) NumberofUnMapping(1-48)

Up to 256 ports can be mapped on a Linux system.

Virtual Port Naming Rules

All of the ATEN SN virtual ports under Linux have the prefix ttya.

Mapped virtual ports can be found in the /dev dir. They all have a prefix of ttya (ttya000, ttya001, etc.). The range is from ttya000 - ttya255.

Before working on the rack, make sure that the stabilizers are secured to the rack, extended to the floor, and that the full weight of the rack rests on the floor. Install front and side stabilizers on a single rack or front stabilizers for joined multiple racks before working on the rack.
- Always load the rack from the bottom up, and load the heaviest item in the rack first.
- Make sure that the rack is level and stable before extending a device from the rack.
- Use caution when pressing the device rail release latches and sliding a device into or out of a rack; the slide rails can pinch your fingers.
- After a device is inserted into the rack, carefully extend the rail into a locking position, and then slide the device into the rack.
- Do not overload the AC supply branch circuit that provides power to the rack. The total rack load should not exceed 80 percent of the branch circuit rating.
- Make sure that all equipment used on the rack – including power strips and other electrical connectors — is properly grounded.
- Ensure that proper airflow is provided to devices in the rack.
- Ensure that the operating ambient temperature of the rack environment does not exceed the maximum ambient temperature specified for the equipment by the manufacturer
- Do not step on or stand on any device when servicing other devices in a rack.
