The Device cards are fully compatible with the SCS3230 application. The SCS3230 requires 
version 4.03 Build 01 (or higher) of the Device Card binary firmware. Firmware updates are 
downloadable from the Lightwave FTP site (ftp://ftp.lightwavecom.com).  
 

 
Each DEVICE card has four completely independent ports for attachment to servers or other 
devices with console ports.  Eight device cards may be installed per system, for a maximum of 
32 device ports.  The device ports do not send an 'break' signal to the attached servers at any 
time unless specified by the user.  There are no adjustments directly on the device cards.  All 
parameters are set up through the system administrator port. 
 

The card configuration is changed with the SCS3230, compared to CS3200.  

 
The  NETWORK / CONTROL card allows 
users to connect to the device cards from 
an SSH or telnet session over an IP 
network, and remote access to the 
administration functions.  
 
The NETWORK / CONTROL card 
replaces the CONTROL card from the 
CS3200, and is located in the far right slot 
of the system chassis. Only one card is 
required in an SCS3230.  
 
The NETWORK / CONTROL card 
includes one  TERM connector for a local 
Console; one 10/100 NET connector for a 
TCP/IP network interface, and four 
CHANNEL EXTENDER 

ports. The 

Channel Extender ports are connected by 
RJ45 cables to  one to four CHANNEL 
EXTENDER cards, which are an 
extension of the NETWORK card's 
operation.  
 
The NETWORK / CONTROL card 
supports up to sixteen simultaneous user 
telnet connections and one administrator connection to the same IP address. The network card 
must be connected to a network that uses TCP/IP.
