Before connecting to a target, the terminal emulation and escape sequence must be configured. See Set Terminal Emulation on a Target and Set the CLI Escape Sequence.
Connect the SX II While at the Rack
While at the rack, do one of the following depending on your needs -
Note that connecting to the SX II Local Console via the Local port is an independent access path to each connected target device.
Video Resolution
The default, Local Console port video resolution is 1024x768@60.
By default, monitors are typically set to the highest resolution they support.
Once a monitor is connected to the SX II Local Port DVI, SX II EDID information from the monitor, including its native, preferred resolution. SX II uses the monitor's preferred, native resolution as long as it is a resolution that SX II supports. If it is not, SX II switches to a resolution it supports and that most closely matches the monitor's resolution.
For example, if a monitor with a native resolution of 2048x1600@60Hz is connected to SX II, SX II detects that it is not an SX II supported resolution and selects a resolution it does support, such as 1280x1024@60Hz.
Note that you can connect to targets using the Remote Console and manage them using Raritan Serial Console (RSC). See Raritan Serial Console (RSC) Help and Port Action Menu Options - Connect, Disconnect, Power On, Power Off and Power Cycle Targets .
