The console servers feature a high-speed processor platform with dual gigabit-Ethernet ports for redundancy, optional built-in modem and two 16- and 32-bit PC card options.
In addition, they feature an internal temperature sensor for device-level monitoring and confi gurable pin-outs for serial ports. The ACS 6000 console server also offers robust software features to meet the requirements of the most demanding data center management applications. Features include automated discovery tools to ease identifi cation of servers, routers, switches or PBX connected to any serial port, saving time at initial confi guration and installation. To comply with existing data center network access policy, the ACS 6000 console server provides customizable, multiple access levels for secure management.
The console servers provide a complete solution for secure, remote control with advanced console server features such as enhanced security, data logging and event monitoring.
In addition, the ACS 6000 console server supports next-generation network standards such as Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6). Available in 4-, 8-, 16-, 32- and 48-port models that fi t in 1U of rack space with single and dual, AC and DC power options. With or without modem, the ACS 6000 console servers help maximize IT asset productivity, while providing scalability and reducing operational costs.
