What is Linux Console?

• The Linux Console icon on the Viewers desktop is just a HyperTerminal setup to connect through a serial cable (generally COM1 of the Viewer) to the Collectors COM2 at 19200 N81 no flow control. This allows simple command line access to the Collector and allows viewing of the bootup sequence for troubleshooting purposes. It is also the only access if network or other problems prevent the use of WebMin. NOTE: 2850s have only 1 COM port which is used for the UPS on the Collector, no Console access exists. If boot up or network problems exist, you MUST have someone onsite with a monitor/keyboard/mouse connected to the Collector.
