SLC™ 8000 Advanced Console Manager User Guide 31
Modular Expansion for I/O Module
The SLC 8000 advanced console manager supports the flexibility to change the I/O module
configuration by offering a 16 port card for expansion. See Table 3-6. When device ports are
unused or unsupported, they are greyed out in the Port Number Bar. Bay 1 is the slot next to the
Ethernet ports and Bay 3 is the slot beside the power supply module.
Table 3-6 Available I/O Configurations
Connecting to Network Ports
The SLC network ports, 10/100/1000 Base-T Ethernet, allow remote access to the attached
devices and the system administrative functions. Use a standard RJ45-terminated Category 5
cable to connect to the network port. A CAT5e or better cable is recommended for use with a
1000 Base-T Ethernet connection.
Note: One possible use for the two Ethernet ports is to have one port on a private,
secure network, and the other on an unsecured network.
Connecting Terminals
The console port is for local access to the SLC 8000 advanced console manager and the attached
devices. You may attach a dumb terminal or a computer with terminal emulation to the console
port. The SLC console port uses RS-232C protocol and supports VT100 emulation. The default
baud rate is 9600.
To connect the console port to a terminal or computer with terminal emulation, Lantronix offers
optional adapters that provide a connection between an RJ45 jack and a DB9 or DB25 connector.
The console port is configured as DTE. See Appendix C: Adapters and Pinouts on page 331 for
