Connecting ALIX Mini PC Local Consoles

Configuration of Serial Ports

  • Common Settings
    • Baud Rate: 38400
    • Data Bits: 8
    • Parity: None
    • Stop Bits: 1
    • Flow Control: None

    • Activate Console Server Mode
    • Activate SSH (or other protocols you want to use)

Cabling

    • Plug the DB9-connector (Opengear PartNo 319001, the x-over variant, not the straight one!) into the devices console port.
    • Use a common straight ethernet patch cable to connect the console server's (CM4148) serial port to the DB9-connector.

Connecting via SSH

  • Connect via SSH to <IP of console server> on port 3000 + <PortNo>. If your console server has the IP address of 192.168.3.3 and your device is connected to port 25, then connect via SSH to 192.168.3.3:3025 using the user name and password you configured.
