2.3 Connecting to the SCS
All physical connections to the product are made to the rear panel using industry-
standard cabling and connectors (purchased separately). All serial connections and net-
work connections use conventional Category 5 cabling having RJ45 jacks. AC Power
is connected using an IEC cordset, one of which is provided with each SCS system.

Other SCS models are similar, offering a different number of Port connectors. The
SCS-R models also have dual NIC, dual Console Ports and dual Power inputs. The
rack-mount brackets, shown on each side, may be removed if desired.
2.3.1 Serial Devices
All network components attached to both the Ports and the Console port must be
compatible with the EIA-232 standard. Regular fully-pinned Category 5 cabling with
RJ45 connectors are used for the Port connections and for the Console Port.
System ports (numbered 1 through 48) are default-configured as DCE data ports,
and support a range of baud rates from 300 Baud to 115.2K Baud. All Port parameters,
including DTE or DCE type and other data parameters are configurable on a per-port
basis. Each port may also be assigned a unique name: default port names are
port1
through
port48
, respectively.
2.3.1.1 Break Safe
The Logical Solutions SCS systems are “break-safe”, meaning that they will not
send a ‘break’ command or other data on the serial ports connected to your servers,
unless initiated by a user. A ‘break’ signal might cause problems with your servers.
