448.0. "Are Terminal Servers needed?" by SNOC02::GALLAGHER () Mon Oct 24 1994 08:26

    Folks,
    
    A have a customer buying some OSF Alpha 2100's and OSF Alpha 3000/700
    workstations and wants to add Polycenter Console Manager. 
    
    Are terminal servers needed? I would like to avoid these if possible,
    preferably by sending the console traffic over Ethernet.
    
    Can console info for the Alpha 3000/700 workstations be redirected?
    
    Thanks in advance,
    _Tony

	Tony, >> Are terminal servers needed? I would like to avoid these if possible, >> preferably by sending the console traffic over Ethernet. Terminal servers are not needed, however, you will still have to connect your systems consoles to the back of the PCM host platform. Terminal servers do this whilst allowing the flexibility of placing your system anywhere on the LAN (or WAN if you use a TELNET terminal server). >> Can console info for the Alpha 3000/700 workstations be redirected? If its anything like any of the other 3000 series workstations, then you are going to have a little difficulty depending on the operating system you are using, browse this conference for more detailed info. Cheers, Phil

Tony,

 Terminal servers are not needed, however, you will still have to connect
 your systems consoles to the back of the PCM host platform. Terminal
 servers do this whilst allowing the flexibility of placing your system
 anywhere on the LAN (or WAN if you use a TELNET terminal server).

>> Can console info for the Alpha 3000/700 workstations be redirected?

 If its anything like any of the other 3000 series workstations, then you
 are going to have a little difficulty depending on the operating system
 you are using, browse this conference for more detailed info.
