1102 Secure Device Server Quick Start Guide
Step 1: Check kit contents.
• 1102 Secure Device Server
• This printed quick start guide
• CD-ROM containing a user’s manual in PDF format
•(2) UTP cables
• (1) DB9F-RJ-45 adapter straight-pinned
• (1) DB9F-RJ-45 adapter crossover-pinned
• Universal input 12-VDC power pack
Step 2: Connect the hardware.
• Attach the four rubber feet to the base (unless the LES1102A will be DIN rail
mounted).
• Plug the power pack into the AC power receptacle and connect the DC
power cable to the 9-12 VDC power socket on the LES1102A. Or the
LES1102A can be powered from any +9 to +48 VDC power source. Connect
these power lines to the IN-GND and IN-VIN+ screw jacks.
• Connect your serial devices to the two serial ports.
- Port 1 is a dedicated RS-232 port, and the pinout is standard DB9 male.
- Port 2 can be software configured to be either an RS-232 port (using the
Port 2 DB9 connector) or an RS-422/RS-485 port (using the TX+/TX- and
RX+/RX- pairs on the terminal block.
Terminal block pinouts: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8
+VDC in GND RX+ RX- TX+ TX- +3.3 VDC out GND

Step 3: Set up the console server.
The default console server 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 net-
work range (192.168.0.xxx) as the serial device server. If this is not con-
venient, you can use the ARP Ping command to set the IP address (refer
to the user manual for details). The serial device server 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.
A Welcome screen listing the basic configuration steps is displayed.
• Select “System: Administration,” enter and conrm a new system password,
and click “Apply.”
System: Administration screen.
• To assign your serial device server a static IP address or to permanently enable
DHCP, select “System: IP” then “Network Interface” and check “DHCP” or
“Static” for conguration method.

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, the two serial
ports are set to console server mode (see the user‘s manual for other modes).
Serial & Network: Serial Port screen.
• To congure a serial port, click “Edit.”
• Congure 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: On Port 1, you have the option to configure the port for modem access.
If you plan to use out-of-band (OoB) dial-in access, connect this serial
port to an external modem.
• Click “Apply.”
• To enable access through the console server to a locally networked computer
(referred to as a host), select “Serial & Network: Network Hosts” and click
“Add Host.”

1102 Secure Device Server Quick Start Guide
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 ongo-
ing 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 conrm a password, and nominate the
accessible hosts and accessible ports the user is allowed to access.
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.”

Step 6: 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 Power-
man tools. The Manage: Power facility enables both administrators and regu-
lar 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 devic-
es, system activity, UPS and PDU power status, environmental status, etc. The
level of logging is set as ports and devices are congured. 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 authentica-
tion, trusted networks, secure tunneling, Nagios distributed monitoring, and
the command line interface are covered in detail in the user 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 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.
