Install the console server
Plug the power supply into the AC mains and connect the DC power cable to the
5VDC power socket on the SD4008
Connect your LAN network to the SD4008 LAN port and connect your serial device
ports to the SD4008 serial PORTS 1-8. The LOCAL serial port can also now be
connected to a modem for Out-of-Band access.
Set up Console Manager
The SD4008 is configured with a default IP Address 192.168.0.1 (Subnet Mask
255.255.255.0). So you can easily access it with any web browser from any computer
that is LAN connected to the SD4008:
Enter https://192.168.0.1 Post Version 2.2 the SD4008 ships by default with
HTTPS access to the Management Console enabled (and HTTP access disabled)

A Welcome screen listing the basic configuration steps will be displayed. Log in
using the default system user name root and the default password is default
Note: The LAN connected computer must be configured with an IP address in the same
network range (192.168.0.xxx) as the SD4008. If this is not convenient, you can
use the ARP-Ping command to reset the SD4008 IP address. Also the SD4008 has
its DHCP client enabled by default, so it will automatically accept any network IP
address assigned by any DHCP server on your network –and will then respond at
both 192.168.0.1 and its DHCP address.
Go to System: Administration then enter and confirm a new System
Password and click Apply
You can now assign your SD4008 a new static IP address or permanently enable DHCP.
Select System: IP menu then check dhcp or static for the Configuration Method
Enable serial & network console access
Select Serial & Network: Serial Port and you will see the current labels, modes, and
RS232/422/485 protocol options that are currently set up for the serial port. By default the
serial port is set in Console Server mode (refer the User Manual if other modes are
required). For the port to be reconfigured click Edit
Configure the Common Settings (Baud Rate, Parity, Data Bits, Stop Bits and Flow
Control) for the serial port to match those of the device being controlled. Then select the
Console Server protocols (Telnet, SSH, TCP and RFC2217) that are to be used for the
data connection to that port. A Logging Level may also be set to specifies the level of
information to be logged and monitored for each Serial Port access. Click Apply
To enable Users to have SDT (RPD/VNC/Telnet/SSH/HTTP/X etc) access to LAN
connected computers or infrastructure appliances (Hosts), select Serial & Network:
Network Hosts and click Add Host

SD4008 Quick Start (520007 Rev 2.2) Page 3
Enter local IP address/ DNS Name of the computer/appliance and edit the Permitted
Services (or TCP/UDP port numbers) that are authorized to be used in controlling this
host. Only these permitted services will be forwarded through by SDT to the Host. All other
services (TCP/UDP ports) will be blocked. You may also specify The level of information to
be logged and monitored for each Host access
Set up Users
Select Serial & Network: Users & Groups. Click Add User and add Usernames and
Passwords for each new user (and which serial and host ports they can access.
Nominate Accessible Hosts and Accessible Ports to specify which serial port and which
LAN connected host the User is to have access to. You may also specify if the User is to
be a member of a group. By default new Users will be in the user group (refer the User
Manual for details). Click Apply
