Access All Your Serial and Network Devices from Anywhere in the World at Any Time
The Tripp Lite B098-048 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, dual SFP ports for fiber optic network connections, 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. You’ll be able to manage a critical equipment outage quickly and remotely without making a costly and time-consuming physical visit to the site.
Simple and Flexible Accessibility
The 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 16 Gb of internal NAND flash memory, which can be used for log storage and file storage, and is expandable with an SD card.
Connect the Built-In V.92 Modem for Out-of-Band (OOB) Access
For OOB access, connect an RJ11 cable between the front-facing RJ11 port and a functioning landline port to allow the V.92 modem to dial out.
Wi-Fi Diversity Antenna Included
The 48-port serial console server includes Wi-Fi, which supports either Client or WAP mode. Just attach the included 2.4 GHz SMA Wi-Fi diversity antenna to the console server’s main Wi-Fi port. For an increased wireless signal, connect a second antenna (not included) to the server’s auxiliary Wi-Fi port.
Router/Gateway
Each 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.
