Introduction
Overview
The Serial Console Server series of advanced console servers integrates cutting
edge technologies with secure enterprise communications. Models offer IT
professionals and network operations center (NOC) personnel the ability to
perform secure, remote data management and out-of-band management of IT
assets from anywhere in the world. Available in 8, 16, 32 and 48-port models,
the console servers fit in 1U of rack space with dual AC and DC (SN0132D /
SN0148D) power options. With their comprehensive serial management
features, the console servers help maximize IT asset productivity, provide
scalability and reduce operational costs.
The SN0108A / SN0116A / SN0132 / SN0148 / SN9108 / SN9116 are console
servers that provide remote serial access to up to 8 (SN0108A / SN9108), 16
(SN0116A / SN9116), 32 (SN0132) or 48 (SN0148) servers or other serial IT
devices (hubs, routers, power management devices, etc.), via a Telnet or SSH
TCP/IP connection. Serial Console Server devices can work in tandem with
other remote management products – such as ALTUSEN PN5/PN7 and
PN0108 Power over the NET™ devices – to provide convenient, reliable, and
effective, remote data center device management.
The SN0108A / SN0116A / SN0132 / SN0148 / SN9108 / SN9116 also offer
software features to meet the most demanding data center management
applications. Features include multilingual Web user interface (UI), versatile
operation modes, Serial Viewer with a comprehensive set of functions, and
Model Ports Power LAN Ports USB / LUC
