Overview

The HP Serial Console Servers provide remote access to up to 16 or 48 direct attached devices. The HP serial consoling solution utilizes CAT5 UTP cables to connect to any serially managed device, facilitating cable routing and allowing for field termination of cable lengths. An adapter is used to convert the serial signal to RJ45. The HP Serial Console Servers provide remote access to headless servers such as those running UNIX, Linux or Microsoft Windows 2003 with EMS as well as serial managed devices such as network switches and routers from any workstation on the network or a local terminal. HP Serial Console Servers are available in two models to support either 16 or 48 attached devices or servers through a single IP address using any SSH or telnet client. Security for servers is controlled by user names, passwords, and access rights configured and stored in non volatile memory in the Serial Console Server for up to 64 users or through RADIUS.
