Smart 216 / 232 – Quick Start Guide

1. Introduction

To take advantage of the Smart 216 / 232 full range of features, we recommend

you read the softcopy User Guide after performing the Quick Start procedure. It’s

in PDF format on the supplied CD or on our website www.minicom.com in the

Support section.

All references throughout this guide to the Smart 216 refer equally to the Smart

232. The two units are functionally the same. The Smart 216 has 16 Server ports

and the Smart 232 has 32 Server ports.

The Smart 216 extends your KVM (keyboard, video, and mouse) from servers with

PS/2 or USB interfaces up to 30m/100ft away. 2 users can control, monitor and

manage up to 16 servers simultaneously. You can connect a Power Distribution

Unit (PDU) for power management.

2. System components

The system consists of:

1 Smart 216 (p/n 1SU22090) or 1 Smart 232 (p/n 1SU22091)

Rack mounting set (p/n 5AC20247)

ROCs - PS/2, USB

5.1 The ROCs

Each computer/ server is directly connected to the Smart 216 via the appropriate

RoC using CAT5 cable in a star configuration. No external power is needed at the

ROCs. The ROCs draw their power from the computer’s keyboard port (ROC

PS/2) or from the USB port (ROC USB). The figures below illustrate the ROC

PS/2 and ROC USB.

5.3 Connecting the two KVM consoles

Connect a keyboard, monitor and mouse to each of the User 1 and User 2 ports as

follows:

1. Connect the monitor connectors to the Monitor ports.

2. Connect the USB keyboard connectors to the USB Keyboard ports.

3. Connect the USB mouse connectors to the USB Mouse ports.

5.4 Connecting to the power supply

1. Using the Power cord provided, connect the Smart 216 to a socket outlet with

grounding connection. Only use the power cord supplied with the unit.

2. Switch on the Smart 216.

6. Connecting to the Local Area Network (LAN)

Configuration is done mainly via a web interface. For this purpose connect a

network cable to the LAN port of the Smart 216. This must be done before

powering on the Smart 216.

7. Setting network parameters via the OSD

By default, Smart 216 boots with an automatically assigned IP address from a

DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) server on the network. The DHCP

server provides a valid IP address, gateway address and subnet mask.

You can identify the IP address from the OSD. Also where there is no DHCP

server set the IP address via the OSD as follows:

1. From the local keyboard, press left Shift twice. The OSD Main window

appears.

2. Press F2. The Settings window appears see Figure 8.

of the window, press tab to go to the top of the window. Change settings by typing

in the selected area or by pressing the spacebar – whichever is relevant.

8. Logging into the web configuration

1. Open your web browser.

2. Type the Smart 216 system IP address – http or https://IP address/ - and press

Enter. The login page appears.

3. Type the default Administrator user name - admin - and password - access -
