How do I create remote administration?

[themegalord]

In my former company, there was a Meridian Option 11C that was installed at one of our remote sites. The remote connection was through the LAN cloud and then through a device known as a LANTRONIX serial to LAN converter. A serial cable was then connected to the LANTRONIX device.

Now in my present company, I am expected to perform the same configuration. Can some help let me know who to activate the remote connection ports, to help me connect to the LANTRONIX device. This time, the PBX is a Meridian Option 11C Mini.

Thanks man!!! I look forward to hearing from you all.

One way to look at it:

A serial port from the PBX (ie, a TTY) needs to go to a "box" that is accessed over your comapny IP/data network.

Your question seems to be about the PBX admin port - if you had that, you could complete the rest of the assembly:

I'm no Option 11 hardware wizard, but I think you will find three cables - like an octopus cable - exiting the system. One is the terminal in the room, one might be to a modem, and the third might be unused or to a Call Accounting PC.

If any one is unused, that s your conection to the Lantronix box.

In LD22, prt TYPE adan and the three TTYs 0, 1, 2 might be easy to spot.

Use LD17 REQ chg TYPE adan ADAN chg tty n

"n" being 0, 1, or 2 probably - change the one that appears unused.

Hit return until "USER" and enter "MTC SCH BUG" then hit return until the REQ prompts shows.

Ultimately, you may need to enter "XCTY" if in fact the cable was loose/unused. Also, the speed/parity, etc settings may need tweaking.

A start at least

Course if your remote switch is IP ready just stick it on your LAN program a PTY in LD 17 and access it with an Rlogin program like Putty.
If not as above usually you would use the TTY 0 on the Octopus cable for any remote management as you can access more through it. eg for patching, archive, etc. Also because the port speed is hardware set and not open to data corruption. plug the tty into the LANTRONIX device and acces via telnet I guess, not come across one before but probably works the same as the MRV and Xplex terminal servers.

It would be the same setup as the Opt.11C, attaching the lantronix to one of the 3 ports. then setting the lantronix with an IP address as well as setting the baud-rate, an possibly a password if you are lucky

Sounds like the lantronix is just a serial port server. There are many devices that can perform the same function. In our enviroment we utilize Digi servers. Basically, like jed5932 said, you'll just be configuring a TTY port on the PBX, and connecting it to your serial port server. Then from your favorite terminal program, you just telnet to that ip/port. The trick with most of these, is getting the serial connection into the port server. With the Digi, they use a 10-pin RJ-45. I had to create a special DB-25 to RJ-45 adaptor to get them to talk to each other.
