Tripp-Lite
Console SErvers

Serial console servers enable network administrators to remotely access and control serial-based networking equipment such as switches, routers, and firewalls. Serial console servers can be deployed in a wide variety of applications such as wiring closets, branch offices, kiosks, and other remote sites providing out of band access with automatic failover to troubleshoot critical systems if the local network or internet connection is down. 

Securely Access from Anywhere
in the World at Any Time

This 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 for redundancy. 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.

The Utmost in Security to Keep
Your Sensitive Data Private

The 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.

Simple and Flexible Accessibility with
Industry-Standard Integration

The 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.

Compact Design for Convenient Mounting

The 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. 

USB Console and Digital I/O (DIO) Ports

Up to four 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 and LX Platform remote management cards. Two DIO ports are also available on selected models for connecting compatible devices, such as drive relays and alarms.

Cellular Modem for Out-of-Band Access

Automatically failover to multi-carrier 4G LTE cellular when the primary network is down. Configurable port triggers and actions with SNMP, SMS and email alerts, such as pattern recognition, network connection, etc.

Gateway Ports Forward to Routers and Other Hosts

Each gateway can port forward to an unlimited number of locally networked hosts (computers, routers). This serial console switch also includes a built-in stateful firewall and embedded DHCP server to host a separate management LAN for critical traffic.

Connect an External Modem for Optional Out-of-Band Access

Connect one of the RJ45 serial ports to an external modem (not included) to receive out-of-band (alternate channel) access when remote sites experience a network outage.

PowerMan PDU and UPS Support 

The 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.
