The USRobotics Courier Console Server & Power Switch provides remote access 

for up to 4 console ports and control of up to 2 power ports over a single modem 
connection.  Quickly reboot or configure routers, servers, and firewalls from remote 

locations when the network goes down or Out-of-Band is the only option available.  
Keep costs to a minimum and reduce rack space and maintenance by consolidating 
to a single console server power hybrid and just one modem, but retain the same 
amount of control.  Know the connection and data are secure when used with 
our worldwide approved Courier Business Modems and have peace of mind with 
built-in security notifications.  This hybrid is ideal for IT managers responsible for 
maintenance and management of remote locations near or far.
