Step 2: Connect the hardware.

Plug the power pack into the AC power receptacle and connect the DC

power cable to the 9-12 VDC power socket on the Remote Console

Manager.

Connect the LAN port to your network.

Connect your serial devices to the SERIAL ports. Your Remote Console

Manager has two, three, or four RJ-45 serial ports. The RJ-45 serial

connectors have Cisco® serial pinouts:

NOTE: If you have a LES1203-M and plan to use out-of-band (OoB) dial-in

access, connect the internal modem to the phone line.

Step 3: Set up the remote console manager.

The default remote console manager IP address is 192.168.0.1 (subnet

mask 255.255.255.0). With a Web browser on any computer that is

connected through the LAN to the serial device server:

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

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

network range (192.168.0.xxx) as the remote console manager. If this is not

convenient, you can use the ARP Ping command to set the IP address (refer

to the user manual for details). The remote console manager also has its

DHCP client 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.

Log in using the default system user name: root, and the default

password: default. A Welcome screen listing the basic configuration steps

is displayed.

Select “System: Administration,” enter and confirm a new system

password, and click “Apply.”

Figure 2. System: Administration screen.

To assign your remote console manager a static IP address or to

permanently enable DHCP, select “System: IP” then “Network Interface”

and check “DHCP” or “Static” for configuration method.

NOTE: By default, only HTTPS and SSH access is enabled to the Remote

Console Manager itself. Use Service Access menu on System: Firewall to

change this, and to change access privileges for connected serial and

network devices. Similarly, use the Forwarding & Networking menu to permit

remote IP access to devices on Network or Management LAN.

Step 4: Configure serial and network devices.

Select “Serial & Network: Serial Port,” which will display the label, mode,

and protocol options currently set for the serial port. By default, all the

serial ports, except Port 1, are set to console server mode (see the user‘s

manual for other modes).

Figure 3. Serial & Network: Serial Port screen.

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 serial device being controlled.

Select the console server protocols (Telnet, SSH, TCP, and RFC2217)

that will be used for the data connection to the serial port.

NOTE: Port 1 is configured by default in Local Console (modem) mode. Use

the crossover-pinned DB9F-RJ-45 adapter and UTP cable to connect to a

terminal emulator application on your PC’s serial COM port. If you plan to

use OoB dial-in access, connect this serial port to an external modem as

covered in detail in the user manual on the CD-ROM.

Click “Apply.”

To enable access through the remote console manager to a locally

networked computer (referred to as a host), select “Serial & Network:

Network Hosts” and click “Add Host.”

Figure 4. Serial & Network: Network Hosts screen.

Enter the IP address/DNS name of the host.

Edit the permitted services used for accessing this host, for example,

HTTPS (TCP port 443), VNC (TCP port 5900), or add custom TCP or

UDP port numbers—only the services specified here are tunneled

through to the host. All other services are blocked.

Specify the level of information to be logged and monitored for each host

access.

Click “Apply.”

Step 5: 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 (rather than continuing as root).

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

“Add User.”

Enter a username and enter and confirm a password, and nominate the

accessible hosts and accessible ports the user is allowed to access.

Figure 5. Serial & Network: Users & Groups screen.

To grant limited access to the management console, check the “User”

group. To grant full access to the management console, check the

“Admin” group. By default, the user is granted no management console

access.

Click “Apply.”

NOTE: The Remote Console Manager comes with a default certificate for

initial configuration purposes only. You will need to direct your browser to

(temporarily) proceed and accept this untrusted certificate. It is

recommended as soon as possible thereafter you generate and install a new

trusted certificate. To produce the unique CSR and later upload the newly

issued certificate, select System: SSL Certificates.

Step 6: Custom setup.



The Remote Console Manager family has various models that may require

some custom setup:

LES1203A-M has an internal modem that can be configured for dial-in

access (or dial-out failover connection) using the Internal Modem Port

tab under System: Dial menu.

LES1203A-11G comes with an internal 802.11 wireless modem that can

be configured using the Wireless LAN Interface menu in the System: IP

menu. The wireless LAN is deactivated by default and when enabled will

operate as the main network connection. Failover is available (though it is

not enabled by default).

LES1204A-3G-R2 comes with an internal 3G cellular modem— and its

own Quick Start Guide.

Step 7: Advanced configurations.

The console server offers many more advanced functions, including:

The Alerts & Logging: Alerts facility monitors serial ports, hosts, user

logins, UPSs (uninterruptible power supplies), and RPCs (remote power

controllers such as PDUs and IPMI devices). A broad selection of trigger

events (such as data patterns, temperature, or battery levels) can be

specified. When triggered, a warning e-mail, SMS, Nagios®, or SNMP

alert is sent to a nominated destination.

Extensive management of UPSs and RPCs 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 allows this history to be saved

locally or remotely. Logs can be viewed from the Status and Manage

menus.

Other advanced features, such as serial port cascading, remote

authentication, trusted networks, secure tunneling, Nagios distributed

monitoring, and the command line interface are covered in detail in the

user manual.

NOTE: To download the user manual, go to

ftp://ftp.blackbox.com/anonymous/manuals/L/les1202a_user_rev2.pdf, or

visit the Black Box Web site and enter LES1202A in the search bar.

NOTE: Also on the Black Box Web site, you will find the SDT Connector

software tool. Once you have configured the console server, this tool

provides you with secure, point-and-click access to the console server and

all the attached devices. Refer to the provided SDT Connector Quick Start

for details on setting up remote management of the console server and

connected devices.

NOTE: Also on the Black Box Web site, you will also find PortShare

software, which enables applications on your Windows® or Linux®

PC/server/virtual server to control serial port devices attached to a Remote

Console Manager. To use PortShare, configure the Remote Console

Manager serial port in console server mode and specify the appropriate

protocol (either RFC2117 or RAW) to be used (see the user‘s manual for

details).
