Features
Securely Access All Your Serial and Network Devices from Anywhere in the World at Any Time This USB console server provides secure in-band (primary network) and optional out-of-band (alternate channel) remote access to serial- and network-connected routers, network switches, firewalls, PBX systems, UPS systems, PDUs and other devices. It offers reliable network connectivity with dual Gigabit primary and failover Ethernet ports and dual power supplies. You can use it in a wide variety of applications, including wiring closets, branch offices, kiosks, point-of-sale and other remote sites where a quick identification and resolution of network issues is imperative.
Simple and Flexible Accessibility with Industry-Standard Integration The 16 RJ45 console ports are configured to use standard Cat5e/6 patch cable when connecting to Cisco devices. They integrate with industry-standard directory servers using TACACS+, RADIUS, LDAP and Kerberos authentication. Provides 4 Gb of internal NAND flash memory, which can be used for log storage and file storage.
Connect an External Modem for Optional Out-of-Band Access Connect one of the 16 RJ45 ports to an external Multitech MT9234MU-CDC-XR or US Robotics USR5637 USB modem (not included) to receive out-of-band (alternate channel) access when remote sites experience a network outage.
Gateway Ports Forward to Routers and Other Hosts Each gateway can port forward to an unlimited number of locally networked hosts (computers, routers). This rack console also includes a built-in stateful firewall and embedded DHCP server to host a separate management LAN for critical traffic.
The Utmost in Security to Keep Your Sensitive Data Private The console server supports the following security features and standards: PCI DSS 3.2, FIPS 140-2, SSL and SSH, stateful firewall, OpenVPN and IPSec VPN support. The embedded FIPS 140-2 OpenSSL cryptographic module is validated to meet FIPS 140-2 standards and has received Certificate #2473.
PowerMan PDU and Network UPS Tools for Enhanced Monitoring and Control This 16-port serial console server uses PowerMan for PDU and RPC management and Network UPS Tools for UPS system monitoring and management. It provides support for Tripp Lite and other power products, so you can remotely manage power to your connected equipment.
USB Console Connects to PDUs and UPS Systems Two USB 2.0 console ports allow connection to newer devices with USB console ports, such as Tripp Lite's wide variety of PDUs and UPS systems with WEBCARDLX or other LX Platform remote management cards.
