Tripp Lite's B095-004-1E is the perfect solution for In-Band and Out-of-Band management of equipment located in remote branch offices, equipment closets on multiple floors, etc. Remote branch offices typically lack on-site IT staff to handle common IT functions such as server administration, Firewall maintenance, and UPS management. In the event of an outage, expensive third party contractors will need to be outsourced on short notice. Third party support is costly and introduces security issues when allowing contractors access to corporate data and private customer information. Travel to the remote site by corporate personnel is costly and time consuming as well. Tripp Lite Serial Console Servers allow network administrators secure access to all remote devices from anywhere in the world.

In-Band solutions utilize operational network interfaces for communicating to remote sites. When remote sites experience network outages, the only access available is Out-Of-Band solutions. The B095-004-1E allows for an external modem to be connected to one of the four serial ports to allow Out-of-Band access. 3G cellular out-of-band access is also supported. The USB port on the console server is compatible with the Pantech ULM290 VZW and the following Sierra Wireless USB modems; Compass 888, USB 598, USB 598U, USB 312U, USB 308, and U313. Tripp Lite branch office solutions provides a single interface to swiftly and efficiently manage your IT infrastructure.

Tripp Lite 4-Port IP Serial Console/Terminal Server Features,

• (x4) RS-232 Serial Console Ports
• Configured to use standard Cat5e/6 patch cable when connecting to Cisco devices
• Tripp Lite's console servers all use an embedded FIPS 140-2 OpenSSL cryptographic module that has been validated to meet the FIPS 140-2 standards and has received Certificate #1051.
• When using SSH, HTTPS or SDT Connector to connect to any service on the console server while running in FIPS mode, they will be utilizing the embedded FIPS compliant module. In order to connect using any of the protocols, you must use a cryptographic algorithm that is FIPS approved or it will fail.
