16-, 32-, and 48-Port Value-Line Console Servers Quick Start Guide

QS1. Introduction

This Quick Start Guide walks you through installation, configuration, and local

operation or your LES1116A, LES1132A, and LES1148A 16-/32-/48-Port Value-Line

Console Servers. For more details, please refer to the user’s manual on the CD-ROM.

QS2. What’s Included

Your package should contain the following items. if anything is missing or damaged,

contact Black Box at 724-746-5500.

•16-, 32-, or 48-Port Value-Line Console Server

• (2) UTP cables

• (1) DB9F-RJ45S straight cable

• (1) DB9F-RJ45S crossover cable

• (1) Power cable

• Printed Quick Start Guide

• User’s manual and SDT connector tool software on CD-ROM

QS3. Connect the Hardware

1. Plug the Value-Line Console Server into the AC power.

2. Connect the LAN port on the console server to your network. Connect your serial

devices to the SERIAL PORTS 1-8/16/48.

NOTE: If you plan to use out-of-band (OoB) dial-in access, connect an external

modem LOCAL port and connect the modem to the phone line.

QS4. Set Up the Value-Line Console Server

The default console server IP Address is 192.168.0.1 (subnet mask 255.255.255.0).

Using a Web browser on any computer that is LAN connected to the Console Server:

1. Enter https://192.168.0.1 into the address bar.

2. Log in using the default system user name root and the default password. A

Welcome screen listing the basic configuration steps is displayed.

3. Select “System: Administration,” enter and confirm a new System Password and

click “Apply.”

16-, 32-, and 48-Port Value-Line Console Servers Quick Start Guide

NOTE: The computer connected to the LAN must have an IP address in the same

network range (192.168.0.xxx) as the Value-Line Console Server. Alternately,

you can use the ARP ping command to set the IP address (refer to the user’s

manual). The embedded DHCP client is enabled by default, so it will

automatically accept any network IP address assigned by any DHCP server on

your network—and will then respond at both 192.168.0.1 and its DHCP

address.

Figure QS-1. System Administration screen.

4. To assign your Console Server a static IP address or to permanently enable DHCP,

select “System: IP” and check “DHCP or Static“ for Configuration Method.

QS5. Configure Serial and Network Devices

1. Select “Serial & Network: Serial Port” to display the labels, modes, and protocol

options currently set for each serial port—by default all serial ports are set in

Console Server mode (refer the user’s manual if other modes are required).

2. To configure a serial port, click “Edit.” Configure the Common Settings (Baud

Rate, Parity, Data Bits, Stop Bits, and Flow Control) to match those of the device

being controlled.

3. Select the console server protocols (Telnet, SSH, TCP, and RFC2217) that are to be

used for the data connection to that port.

4. You may also set a Logging Level to specify the level of information to be logged

and monitored for that port. Click “Apply.”

5. To access locally networked computers (referred to as Hosts) through the console

servers, select “Serial & Network: Network Hosts” and click “Add Host.”

Figure QS-3. Serial and Network: Network Hosts screen

6. Enter the IP address/DNS Name of the host.

7. Edit the Permitted Services used for accessing this host, for example, HTTPS (TCP

Port 443), VNC (TCP Port 5990), or add custom TCP or UDP port numbers. Only

the services specified here are tunneled to the host, all other services are blocked.

8. At this stage, you may also specify the level of information to be logged and

monitored for each host access.

9. Click “Apply.”

QS6. Add New Users

NOTE: We recommend that you set up a new Administrator user (in the admin

group with full access privileges) and log in as this new user for all ongoing

administration functions (instead of continuing as root).

16-, 32-, and 48-Port Value-Line Console Servers Quick Start Guide

Figure QS-4. Serial and Network: Users and Groups screen.

1. For each new user, select “Serial & Network: Users & Groups” and click “Add

User.”

2. Enter a Username and enter and confirm a Password, and name the Accessible

Hosts and Accessible Ports the user is allowed to access.

3. Click “Apply.”

NOTE: The Console Server comes with a default certificate for initial configuration

only. When you first browse to the Console Server, you will receive a message

that the certificate is “untrusted.” Initially, you'll need to direct your browser

to (temporarily) proceed and accept this untrusted certificate.

We recommend that you generate and install a new trusted certificate as soon

as possible thereafter. To produce the unique CSR and later upload the newly

issued certificate, select “System: SSL Certificates.”

QS7. Advanced Configurations

The Value-Line Console Server offers many more advanced functions including:

• The Alerts & Logging: Alerts facility that monitors serial ports, hosts, user logins,

UPSs and PDUs. You can specify a broad selection of trigger events (such as data

patterns, temperature, or battery levels). When triggered, a warning e-mail, SMS,

Nagios®, or SNMP alert is sent to a nominated destination.

16-, 32-, and 48-Port Value-Line Console Servers Quick Start Guide

• Extensive management of third-party UPSs and PDUs using open source NUT and

Powerman tools. The Manage: Power facility enables both administrators and

regular users to monitor and control attached PDU power strips, and servers with

embedded IPMI BMCs.

• Historical logs of all communications with serial and network attached devices,

system activity, UPS and PDU power status, environmental status, etc. The level of

logging is set as ports and devices are configured. Alerts & Logging: Port Log

enables this history to be saved locally or remotely. Logs can be viewed from the

Status and Manage menus.

• Other advanced features, such as Dashboard, Serial Port Cascading, remote

Authentication, Trusted Networks, Secure Tunneling, Nagios Distributed

Monitoring, and the Command Line interface are covered in detail in the User’s

Manual on the CD-ROM.

NOTE: On the CD-ROM, you will also find the SDT Connector software tool. Once

you have configured the console server, this tool provides you with secure,

point-and-click access to it and all its attached managed devices. Refer to the

provided SDT Connector Quick Start Guide for details on setting up remote

management of the console server and connected devices.
