The SCS3230 uses most of the same cards as the CS3200, and uses the CS3200 chassis. The 
SCS3230 is below. Notice the SCS3230's NETWORK/CONTROL card to the far right. 

 
Fig. 2   Rear View of SCS3230 - notice the NETWORK / CONTROL card in far right slot.  

Also note that this diagram shows three (3) Channel Extenders and one Terminal card in 
slots B through E, and 8 DEVICE cards. 

 

 
The SCS3230 system is a Linux-based Console Server offering secure IP network-based 
connections to up to 32 connected devices via EIA-232 protocol. Linux administrators will find 
familiar commands and should need little guidance on administering the SCS3230 to co-operate 
in their server installation.  
 
System users will not encounter any differences in operation. The commands and functions of 
the SCS3230 are designed to minimize any conversion issues.
