the new Slave
The
Serial & Network: Cascaded Ports menu displays all of the Slaves
and the port numbers that have been allocated on the Master. If the Mas-
ter console server has 16 ports of its own, then ports 1-16 are preallo-
cated to the Master, so the first Slave added will be assigned port number
17 onwards.
Once you have added all the Slave console servers, the Slave serial ports
and the connected devices are configurable and accessible from the Mas-
ter’s Management Console menu and accessible through the Master’s IP
address. For example:
Select the appropriate • Serial & Network: Serial Port and Edit to
configure the serial ports on the Slave
Select the appropriate • Serial & Network: Users & Groups to add new
users with access privileges to the Slave serial ports (or to extend
existing users access privileges)
Select the appropriate • Serial & Network: Trusted Networks to specify
network addresses that can access selected Slave serial ports
Select the appropriate • Alerts & Logging: Alerts to configure Slave
port Connection, State Change or Pattern Match alerts
All such configuration changes made on the Master are propagated out to
all the Slaves; whenever you change any User privileges or edit any serial
port setting on the Master, the updated configuration files will be sent out
to each Slave in parallel. The Slaves will then make appropriate changes
to their local configurations (i.e. only make those changes that relate to its
particular serial ports).
Please note:
The Master is in control. You can still change all the settings on any •
Slave serial port (such as alter the baud rates) using the local Slave
Management Console, however these changes will be overwritten the
