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 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 AccessibilityThe 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 Out-of-Band AccessConnect 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.
Router/GatewayEach 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 USB 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
