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.
Users 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 Servers 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 users point of view – in which case the Serial Console Server and the
devices connected to it are considered remote.

Introduction
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 customers 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

Super Administrator Setup
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.

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 Servers 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.

1. Click Add. A dialog box appears
2. Specify the MAC address in the dialog box, then click OK.

IP Filter / MAC Filter Conflict
If there is a conflict between an IP filter and a MAC filter in other words,
if a computers address is allowed by one filter but blocked by the other
then the blocking filter takes precedence (the computer’s access is
blocked).
Modifying Filters
To modify a filter, select it in the IP Filter or MAC Filter list boxes and
click Modify. The Modify dialog box is similar to the Add dialog box.
When it comes up, simply delete the old address(es) and replace it with the
new one(s).
Deleting Filters
To delete a filter, select it in the IP Filter or MAC Filter list box and click
Delete.

Certificates
This page provides information on the Private Certificates:
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:
Chapter 10. Maintenance

1. Click Import from the bottom of the Private Certificate page, shown here:
2. Click Browse to the right of Certificate Filename; and browse to where
your certificate file is located; and select it.
3. Click Import to complete the procedure.
Note: Clicking Restore Defaults returns the device to using the default ATEN
certificate.

Unit Tech Department
Common Name mycompany.com
Note: This must be the exact domain name of the site

domain name is www.mycompany.com, and you only
specify mycompany.com, the certificate will not be valid.
