Xyplex maxserver 1640 manual

There is no good way to tell if your older Xyplex hardware has one of these dongles, unless you open the case and look. ASP made other devices for Digi products that would connect in-line with the power lead coming to the Digi product from external devices.

These dongles were visible outside the Digi device. When iTouch Communications bought the Xyplex product line, they continued to support and sell the older units, but the also developed the In-Reach product family, and they made sure that they wouldn't send Serial BREAK unless you command the port to send the signal. MRV Communications iTouch's parent company , started re-branding all of their products in , including the In-Reach line and integrated power control.

Attaching devices to a PC for configuration to Table of Contents. When you are deploying console servers, you may still want to have a way to wheel a terminal or a laptop up to a machine to check configurations basically, the practical or paranoid among us want to have a safety net, in case the console services fail.

In this case, using modular adapters actually simplifies our job! By connecting all of your remote consoles to the patch panels or to the RJ ports on Console Servers using straight-through Ethernet cables, all you need to do is connect an adapter to your laptop, and set up a Terminal Emulator package to talk to the serial port of the laptop.

If you want to set up a "crash cart", I'd also suggest that you set the serial port speed on all of your consoles to bps, 8-N-1 since that seems to be the most common setting.

Having a common speed removes one more variable to have to remember during a crisis. If you want your "crash cart" to take the place of your console server, you should use the XFDTE91 adapter.

This way, you can unplug a hosts cable from the console server, and connect it directly to the adapter on the crash cart, without the need for a null-modem connection. When you have successfully configured your devices, all you need to do is disconnect the cable from the adapter on your PC, and connect the cable to a port on a Xyplex console server.

Copy the Xyplex software image xpcsrv Enter the following commands one at a time being sure to modify the pathname and tftp server IP address for your network. Type show manager files to verify a proper card format and to see that system files are present. Compare your output to the example output below.

The older Xyplex devices are a bit tricky to install into console server roles. If you are connecting your network equipment console ports to your console server, remember to consider;. Connect the ethernet port of the Xyplex to the console network switch. If you have a Base-T connector, the easy solution is to attach a BNC "T" connector, to this port, and attach a pair of ohm terminators.

If you attach a transciever, you will need to connect it to something else, to get 'link', before the LAN LED will light. The default port settings are bps, 8 data bits, No parity, and 1 stop bit, commanly displayed as N If you are inheriting a used chassis, some of the port speeds may be different. Press enter until a prompt appears. By default, the Xyplex ports will try to autobaud to automatically detect and match the serial port speed to the serial speed of the attached device , and the Xyplex code is looking for the carriage return [enter] or [return] key character.

If you don't get a prompt on the lowest numbered port, try the highest numbered port, and then start working your way through the entire range. You may have a terminal server that has a presious connection that doesn't give you a prompt Once you have a prompt from the unit, enter the configuration mode type " set priv " and press the [enter] or [return] key. Then type the default priveleged password. The default password is system. Cut and paste the commands from the table below, into a text editor, and modify some of the settings for use in your network.

Note that some of the lines apply to ALL the ports, a few to almost-all of the ports, and a few commands only apply to one or two ports. In the example below, I'm using a port device, and I'm reserving the highest port 16 as my local console port, and using ports for normal Console Server access.

Note: To make changes to both the running config and the stored config simultaneously, type "define server change enabled" on the Xyplex console before editing any other parameters on the Xyplex console. Once you have the text file configured the way you want it, copy the lines into a terminal program to send the commands to the Xyplex via the serial port.

Whether you type the lines by hand, or copy-and-paste the data, you may run into syntax errors. This may happen because of a typografic error, or because the version of Xyplex code you are running does not support the command s that cause the error.

Things to be aware of include; Pressing return with a partially-completed command will show you the available arguments for the next part of the command.
