Securely Access All Your Serial and Network Devices from Anywhere in the World at Any TimeThis

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 IntegrationThe 48 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 AccessConnect one of the 48 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 HostsEach 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 PrivateThe 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 ControlThis 48-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 SystemsTwo 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.
Compact Design for Convenient MountingThe heavy-duty steel housing comes with mounting brackets
for 1U installation in an EIA-standard 19-inch rack. Its fanless form factor also allows desktop deployment
on included rubber feet that help prevent the unit from sliding. User-supplied power cords connect the
console server to a compatible power source.
