Rear View of SCS320 Chassis
Standard SCS models are similar in size and layout, offering a different number of port
connectors. The SCS-R models and Sentinel 32 also have dual NIC, dual console ports
and dual power inputs. The rack-mount brackets extending from both sides of each
model, may be removed for desktop or shelf mounting (see page 17).

Note: Due to the modular design, the Sentinel 32 Serial Port connections on
the rear of the chassis are numbered differently from the other SCS models.
2.3.1 Serial Devices
All network components attach to both the Console Ports and must be compatible with
the EIA-232 standard. CAT5 cabling with RJ45 connectors are used for the Port
connections and for the console port. System ports (numbered from 1 to up to 48) are
default-configured as DCE data ports and support a range of baud rates from 300-
115.2K. 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,
port2 , etc .
2.3.1.1 Break Safe
Thinklogical
®
SCS systems are “break-safe,” meaning they will not send a “break” command
or other data on the serial ports connected to your servers unless initiated by a user. An
unwanted “break” signal could cause problems with your servers.
2.3.2 IP Netw ork
The SCS network interface is an auto-sensing 10 BaseT/1 00 BaseTX network connector
(equipped with an RJ45 jack with dual LEDs) for use with a conventional TCP/IP
network using standard RJ45 CAT5 cables. A default IP address is coded into the
system (10.9.8.7), but the network settings should be configured by your system
administrator for your site’s requirements and equipment. SCS products are
preconfigured for ssh (secure shell host) access.
