SLC 8000 Quick Start Guide
WHAT’S IN THE BOX
The front console port allows a dumb terminal or PC with terminal emulation software to locally
access management functions and connected devices.
The device ports allow simple and flexible connections to serial devices using adapters and a
standard CAT5 cable. Connect one end of the CAT5 cable to the device port and the other end to an
adapter that attaches to the serial console of the target system. For example, to connect a PC to the
console port of the SLC 8000, you only need the RJ45 to DB9F Adapter and a standard CAT5 cable
which is supplied with the unit.
The default communication parameters for the device ports and console ports are:
• 9600 baud • 1 stop bit • 8 data bits • No flow control • No parity
Note: SLC 8000 device ports are reversed by default, but are software congurable.
1. Install the unit in a 19-inch rack.
Warning: Do not block the air vents on the sides of the unit. If mounted in an enclosed rack, it is recommended that the rack have a ventilation fan.
2. Connect the equipment to the numbered device ports on the back of the unit using the appropriate cables and adapters.
3. If you installed the internal modem, connect a RJ11 cable between the front panel modem port on the SLC 8000 to your phone line.
4. Connect the unit to the network using the upper network port. if your implementation is using an SFP fiber module then you will connect using fiber cables.
Please follow instructions from the SFP module vendor for the orientation of the cable.
5. Connect the power cord and apply power.
6. Wait about a minute and a half for the boot process to complete. When the boot process ends, the SLC model name and clock appear on the LCD. Detected
faults or process messages may also display.

1. Please carefully follow handling and installation guidelines provided by
the SFP transceiver module vendor.
2. Use care when inserting SFP transceiver module to the SFP port of
SLC 8000. Please be sure to understand orientation and how the latching
mechanism for the particular SFP transceiver module works.
3. Secure the latching mechanism (part of the SFP transceiver module
being inserted into the SFP port of SLC 8000).
Note: Even though SFP transceiver module is a fiber interface, the SLC
8000 system interface will show SFP as Ethernet 1 and/or Ethernet 2.
Note: Please contact Lantronix Technical Support to verify the compatibility of
a specific transceiver as not all are compatible.

Both of the SLC 8000 network ports (Ethernet 1 and Ethernet 2) default to
DHCP– assigned IP addresses. If you want to assign a different IP address,
it must be within a valid range, unique to your network, and with the same
subnet mask as your workstation.
To configure the SLC 8000, you need the following information:
IP address (if not already assigned): ______ . ______ . ______ . ______
Subnet mask (if not already assigned): ______ . ______ . ______ . ______
Gateway: ______ . ______ . ______ . ______
DNS: ______ . ______ . ______ . ______
The fastest way to set basic network parameters is by using the front panel
keypad and display.
Note: If you prefer, you can get started by following a Quick Setup script on
the command line interface using Telnet or SSH, or by connecting a terminal
directly to the console (RS-232) port. The web page interface also provides a
Quick Setup page. See Quick Setup in the User Guide.
• Use the right and left arrow buttons to navigate from one option
to another.
• Use the up and down arrow buttons to navigate between
parameters within an option or to increase or decrease a numerical
value.
Note: If no buttons are pressed for 30 seconds, the front panel display
times out without accepting unsaved changes and returns to displaying the
hostname and clock.
For example, to change the IP settings:
1. Press the right arrow button to display the Network Settings option and
the current IP address.
2. Press the Enter button to go into editing mode.
3. Use the up and down arrow buttons to increment or decrement the IP
address indicated by the cursor.
4. Use the right an left arrow buttons to move to and change the
remaining digits of the IP address. Press the Enter button to exit editing mode
when finished.
5. Press the down arrow button to display the Subnet Mask setting.
6. Edit the Subnet Mask in the same fashion as the IP address and press the
down arrow.
7. Edit the Gateway and DNS settings.
8. Press the down arrow after the DNS3 setting to go to the Save settings?
Yes/No prompt.
9. Select Yes at the prompt and press Enter to save changes. Repeat steps
1-8 for the other options (console port and date/time).
Note: Another option, release, is for restoring factory defaults. The default
password for this action is 999999.
After you save the values for your console manager, changes take effect
immediately.

This section includes instructions for accessing both the web page and
the command line interfaces. You can use either method to configure all
parameters.
To log in to the SLC 8000 web page:
1. Open a web browser (Internet Explorer 8.0 and later).
2. In the URL field, type https:// followed by the IP address of your SLC.
3. At the first login, enter sysadmin (all lower case) as the user and
PASS (all upper case), the factory default password.
The first time you log in, the SLC 8000 Quick Setup page is displayed,
subsequent logins will display the SLC 8000 Home Page. (To display Quick
Setup again, click the Quick Setup tab).
4. Do one of the following:
• To bypass the Quick Setup page and go directly to configuring the
SLC,click the Accept default Quick Setup settings checkbox and click
Apply.
• Update basic network parameters, if desired, and click Apply.
To access the command line interface:
Do one of the following:
With a network connection, use a Telnet or SSH program to Telnet or
SSH to xx.xx.xx.xx (the IP address in dot quad notation), and press
Enter. You should be at the login prompt.
Note: By default, Telnet is disabled. To enable it, use the Services web
page, a serial terminal connection, or an SSH connection with a serial
terminal connection, when the command line displays, press Enter.
2. Enter sysadmin as the user name and press Enter.
3. Enter PASS as the password and press Enter. The first time you log in,
the Quick Setup script opens automatically. Subsequent logins display
the command prompt only. (To obtain the Quick Setup script again,
use the admin quicksetup command.)
Note: Change the default password as soon as possible to prevent access
by unauthorized personnel. Subsequent logins require the username
sysadmin and the appropriate password to log in as system administrator.
4. If the Quick Setup script displays, update basic network parameters, as
desired. Otherwise, just press Enter until the command prompt displays. By
pressing Enter, you are accepting the current settings.
Notes: For general command line interface help, type “help command line”.
For help with a specific command, type “help” followed by the command; for
example, “help set network” or “help admin firmware”.
