EtherLite32
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 as 'root' (tar file contains files downloaded 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

Run the drpadmin tool to add realport devices
Installation of <realport> was successful.
Copy several files to /opt/realport:
cp dpflush /opt/realport cp dinc /opt/realport
NOTE: 'dinc' was copied from old CDsts driver, it seems digi does not have it any more, but we found it useful: 'tsconnect' will use it.
To configure EtherLite devices, run 'drpadmin' command and specify devices one by one, for example:
clon10:EtherLite32> /opt/realport/drpadmin Please select an option (a)dd (d)elete (s)how (r)eset (q)uit : a Enter the IP address or network name of the unit: 129.57.167.208 Enter the number of ports: 32 Enter the tty device ID (only 2 chars allowed) : 0 Would you like this RealPort session to be encrypted? NOTE: Not all RealPort products support encrypted RealPort sessions. Please check your RealPort product's firmware release notes or product literature before selecting "always". If in doubt, select "never". (always/never) : (never): The following device will be configured, 0 129.57.167.208 32 0 secure (never) Is this correct (y to add or x to abort) ? y Please select an option (a)dd (d)elete (s)how (r)eset (q)uit : q clon10:EtherLite32>
Results will be saved in /opt/realport/drp.conf file. After all devices configured this file will contains something like following:
clon10:realport> more drp.conf 0 129.57.167.208 32 0 771 never 1027 1 129.57.167.215 2 1 771 never 1027 2 129.57.167.209 32 2 771 never 1027 3 129.57.167.216 2 3 771 never 1027 4 129.57.167.217 2 4 771 never 1027 5 129.57.167.218 2 5 771 never 1027 6 129.57.167.219 2 6 771 never 1027 7 129.57.160.20 2 7 771 never 1027 8 129.57.167.210 32 8 771 never 1027 9 129.57.167.211 32 9 771 never 1027 10 129.57.160.50 2 a 771 never 1027 11 129.57.68.95 32 b 771 never 1027 12 129.57.167.212 32 c 771 never 1027 13 129.57.167.220 32 d 771 never 1027 14 129.57.167.228 32 e 771 never 1027 15 129.57.167.229 32 f 771 never 1027 16 129.57.167.204 32 10 771 never 1027
Now copy our clon script into some directory included into PATH, for example:
cp tsconnect /usr/local/bin
Copy tsconnect.conf from previous location to /opt/realport.
Include command /opt/realport/dflush into sudoers file.
Now everything should be ready. Try to type something like
tsconnect croctest1
and see if communication established. To end session, type '~' and 'x'.

---++ 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
