MORE APPLICATIONS
In branch offices, use Advanced Console Servers to:
» Simplify the control of distributed office server
rooms or wiring closets containing ser vers, UPSs,
PDUs, and net work devices like Cisco
®
Integrated
Service Routers.
» Set up a centralized in-band and out-of-band
management gateway for local and remote serial
port management—especially for satellite offices
with little or no IT staff on-site.
» Ensure maximum system uptime for sales offices,
the customer-facing points crucial to the bottom
line of many business enterprises.
» Give off-site techs 24/7 access to integrated small
business server applications, those that branch
offices often depend on for e-mail, printing, file
storage, Web access, and more.
In smaller service provider applications, use them to:
» Better serve the IT needs of clients in different
offices by keeping servers and equipment up and
running on a continuous basis.
» Support new services while at the same time
reducing the need for on-site service calls and
increasing profitability.
» Avoid the need for numerous high-priced
management devices (dedicated power switch
controllers, service processor management units,
KVMoIP switches, etc.) at the client site.
» Proactively diagnose client-side equipment
problems, setting up notification alarms and alerts
to notify you of pending IT disasters.

Through a serial connection, you can access a menu to select your type of
RPC device. The console servers support most popular network and serial
PDUs. If your PDU isn’t on the list, then you can add support directly.
Both administrators and users can access and control serial- and networkattached PDU power strips. By outlet, you can initiate the action you want
to take, whether it’s turning it on or off, cycling, or checking its status.
Advanced power and hotkey PDU or RPS control.
Because an Advanced Console Server can be used to manage ports
on PDUs, UPSs, and environmental monitoring devices—and, in the
process, cut power consumption and lessen environmental impac t—it’s
a great addition to any IT department or company wanting to initiate
“clean tech” energy conservation. It’s also a great way to unify power
and IT resources while controlling data centers anywhere in the world.
The console server comes with UPS monitoring tools and supports
complex power architectures in modern data centers and N OCs where
there’s a mix of UPSs from various manufacturer s. You can not only more
easily manage UPS hardware connected to your expensive devices, you
can ensure a safe shutdown of systems, too. It can also be used for outof-band access to a “dead” communications device— one that’s entirely
locked up in a frozen condition.
Using a hotkey from the command line interface via SSH or Telnet,
you simply launch the console server’s remote power control ( RPC) menu
to turn power on (or off), power cycle, or just check the power status of
a particular device. Or you activate power status control and monitoring
through SNMP. The Advanced Console Servers support thousands of
PDU or RPS units, for both serial- and SNMP- connected control.
