Why sacrifice performance, flexibility, and server interoperability  
for price when purchasing a remote console server port management 
solution when you can have a Black Box
®
 Advanced Console Server 
instead? It gives you out-of-band serial console port access and control 
in a secure platform that fits the budget of small to medium-size 
businesses as well as educational, healthcare, and government 
institutions. 
The Advanced Console Server provides access to data center 
systems for reliable 24/7 uptime. Equipped with a built-in modem as 
well as a local console port and dual 10/100-Mbps Ethernet ports, it 
gives you multiple access paths. Depending on the model you order, 
you can manage 8, 16, or 48 console ports remotely. 
Through this gateway, you can remotely access servers and virtual 
servers, as well as switches, firewalls, PBX systems, and other network 
devices. Serial ports on the console server are even specially pinned for 
routers or other devices that use the Cisco
®
 RJ-45 “rolled” port wiring 
scheme—simplifying setup further. 
You even get easy access to service processors. Many pricier console 
servers don’t, which can be a real shortcoming if you want to connect 
to today’s newer servers that include service processor cards or 
sideband interfaces by default. 
It has advanced power management features, too. Using the 
Advanced Console Server’s user-friendly GUI, you can monitor a remote 
UPS and reset a PDU or an RPS power system. Plus, for power backup 
and maximum uptime of the console server unit itself, it’s equipped 
with a redundant AC power supply.

Advanced Console 
Servers come  
with a GUI and 
embedded tools 
for remotely 
managing power 
devices for UPS/
RPC monitoring, 
graphing, and 
alarms.
It also features 2 GB of USB Flash memory for local FTP/TFTP 
storage, which you can use for disaster recovery and storing device 
configurations and logs off-line (such as for syslog and Wireshark 
packet analysis). Quickly store local copies of your router and switch 
configurations and backup configurations, and roll back to an earlier 
configuration if necessary.
What’s more, it includes IPSec High Availability VPN gateway 
software, which enables you to set up console connections within a 
secure IPSec VPN network. If there’s a network outage, the console 
server will automatically reconnect the VPN using a modem link or 
broadband failover route. IPSec VPN network compatability also 
makes it great for utilities who need to meet NERC CIP standards.
And because the console server uses the Linux
®
 platform, there’s 
no dealing with proprietary protocol issues when you want to 
customize it to your requirements (a developer kit is included).
