The number of EtherLite32 terminal servers are installed to provide serial connections to ROCs, IOCs, network switches and other devices.

RealPort software must be installed to communicate with EtherLite terminal servers. Do following (tar file contains files downlloaded from http://www.digi.com): 

cd /usr/local/src
cp ../downloads/EtherLite32.tar .
tar xvf EtherLite32.tar
rm EtherLite32.tar
cd EtherLite32
pkgadd -d realport_2.8.3.pkg

Last command will initiate following dialog and output (empty lines removed): 

The following packages are available:
  1  realport     Digi RealPort Driver
                  (sparc/i386) 2.8.3

---++ Wiring The terminal server cables are cat 5 cables with 4 twisted pairs of conductors. Each conductor is fed into an RJ45 connector, which is numbered from right to left, looking at the front of the plug with the tab down. Using Hall B's convention, this table describes which wire colors should be fed to which RJ45 conductors at either end of the connection. The wiring will be different at the terminal server and the device. This wiring scheme will allow a connection to be made directly to a Motorola computer with an RJ45 console connector. For devices with a DSUB connector, there are converters available at the lab, and they rely on this wiring configuration as well. |*Server Wire Color*| *RJ45 Pin* | *Device Wire Color* | *Signal (at Server end)*| |Brown |1| Orange |RTS| |Blue |2| Orange Stripe |DSR| |Brown Stripe |3| Blue |DCD| |Blue Stripe |4| Blue Stripe |!RxD| |Green |5| Green |!TxD| |Green Stripe |6| Green Stripe|SG| |Orange |7| Brown |DTR| |Orange Stripe |8| Brown Stripe |CTS|

---++ Changing configuration

if terminal server have to be replaced, do following: 

  * set new MAC address in configuration file /etc/bootptab
  * kill -HUP for 'bootpd'
  * kill -HUP for '/usr/sbin/rpc.bootparamd'
  * start manualy /usr/sbin/rpc.bootparamd
