16-Port Serial Console Server

This 16-port console server gives network administrators secure in-band and out-of-band remote access to serial and network equipment from any location. It is built for wiring closets, branch offices, kiosks and point-of-sale sites where rapid identification and resolution of network issues is essential.

Rackmount Installation with Dual Power Supplies

The unit mounts in a standard rack and ships with redundant power supplies that accept 100 to 240 V AC input. Dual Gigabit Ethernet ports and dual SFP ports provide primary and failover network paths, so a single cable or power failure does not cut off remote management access.

Sixteen Serial Ports for Dense Device Management

The defining specification is the count of 16 serial ports, which determines how many routers, switches, firewalls, PBX, UPS or PDU units can be managed simultaneously. Buyers who need to control more than 16 serial devices from one appliance will require a higher-density model.
