8: Device Ports
SLC™ 8000 Advanced Console Manager User Guide 101
The administrator and users with local user rights may assign individual port permissions to local
users. The administrator and users with remote authentication rights assign port access to users
authenticated by NIS, RADIUS, LDAP, Kerberos and TACACS+.
I/O Modules
The SLC module port configuration can be changed by adding or replacing I/O modules in the I/O
module slots. Any changes to the I/O modules must be done while the SLC unit is powered off.
The following I/O module configurations are supported (Bay 1 is the leftmost bay when viewing the
back of the SLC 8000 advanced console manager where the device ports are located):
Table 8-1 Supported I/O Module Configurations
Note: A 16 port module is shown as "RJ45-16" in the About page in the Web interface
and the output of the admin version command in the CLI, and a 8 port module is shown
as "RJ45-08". For example, I/O Module Type(s): RJ45-08, RJ45-16, and RJ45-16
indicate that the SLC unit has an 8 port I/O module in Bay 1, and 16 port modules in Bay 2
and 3. Please note that only the following configurations are available from Lantronix:
SLC 8008, SLC 8016, SLC 8032 and SLC 8048 modules. The SLC 8024 and SLC 8040
console managers can only be created by adding RJ45-16 modules to an existing SLC
8008 unit.
The number of device ports in a SLC 8000 advanced console manager can be expanded by
adding 16 port I/O modules in slots 2 and 3, or by swapping an 8 port I/O module in Bay 1 for a 16
port module. The configurations listed above are the only valid configurations; if any other
configuration is detected at boot, the SLC unit will still boot, disable use of the device ports, and
provide indications in the boot messages, in the CLI and in the web that the I/O configuration is
invalid. When an invalid configuration is corrected by reconfiguring the I/O modules into a valid
configuration, after the SLC module is powered up and booted, the valid configuration will be
detected and the SLC module ports can be used again.
For the SLC 8024 and SLC 8040 modules, with an 8 port I/O module in Bay 1, the device ports will
be numbered 1-8 and 17-32 (for the SLC 8024 model) and 1-8 and 17-48 (for the SLC 8040
model). See Figure 8-2 Devices > Device Status on page 102.
Restoring a configuration to the SLC 8000 advanced console manager will automatically adjust the
number of device ports to reflect the number of ports in the SLC unit the configuration is being
restored to. For example, a configuration that is saved on an SLC 8048 unit and restored to an
SLC 8016 unit will have the last 32 ports removed from the configuration. Conversely, a
configuration that is saved on a SLC 8016 unit and restored to a SLC 8048 unit will have 32 device
ports (with factory default settings) added to the configuration.
