The USB Gadget fabric module enables Linux to export local storage devices via the Universal Serial Bus (USB), so that other systems can mount them as an ordinary storage device. USB was designed in the mid-1990s to standardize the connection of computer peripherals , and has also become common for data storage devices.
Cisco console cable. A rollover cable (also known as a Yost cable, Cisco cable, or a console cable) is a type of null-modem cable that is used to connect a computer terminal to a router's console port. This cable is typically flat (and has a light blue color) to help distinguish it from other types of network cabling.
Integrated Lights-Out, or iLO, is a proprietary embedded server management technology by Hewlett Packard Enterprise which provides out-of-band management facilities. The physical connection is an Ethernet port that can be found on most ProLiant servers and microservers [1] of the 300 and above series.
Using a standardized interface and protocol allows systems-management software based on IPMI to manage multiple, disparate servers. As a message-based, hardware-level interface specification, IPMI operates independently of the operating system (OS) to allow administrators to manage a system remotely in the absence of an operating system or of the system management software.
Ethernet over USB is the use of a USB link as a part of an Ethernet network, resulting in an Ethernet connection over USB (instead of e.g. PCI or PCIe).. USB over Ethernet (also called USB over Network or USB over IP) is a system to share USB-based devices over Ethernet, Wi-Fi, or the Internet, allowing access to devices over a network.
The idea is to gain access to those devices via their console port. Connect serial-based applications with a COM/TTY port driver: Many software applications have been written to communicate with devices that are directly connected to a server's serial COM ports (robotic assembly machines, scanners, card readers, sensors, blood analyzers, etc ...
This generally includes the system console on modern Unix and Linux machines, as well as GUI emulators such as xterm and the Win32 console. Robust XON is a technique to restart communication, just in case it was stopped by an accidentally received XOFF. The receiving unit sends periodic XON characters when it can receive data, and the line is idle.
There are also USB KVM devices that allow cross-platform operating systems and basic keyboard and mouse sharing. [4] Semi-DDM USB KVM Dedicated USB console port(s) work with all USB-HID (including keyboard and mouse), but do not maintain the connected devices' presence to all of the targeted systems simultaneously.
