Feature Focus
Access and Control Network Devices from Anywhere in the World
Tripp Lite’s B098-016 16-Port Console Server provides in-band and out-of-band remote access to routers, servers, switches, firewalls, UPS systems, PDUs and other serial-based network devices. In just 1U of space, it offers reliable connectivity with dual Gigabit primary ports, a failover Ethernet port, dual SFP ports and dual power supplies (two C13 to 5-15P power cords included). It’s perfect for remote management of small to mid-size data centers, server rooms, wiring closets, branch offices, point-of-sale kiosks and any location that requires immediate resolution of network-based issues.
Connects Easily without Hassle
This console server uses standard Cat5e/6 patch cables (two Cat5e cables included) and integrates easily with industry-standard servers via TACACS+, RADIUS, LDAP and Kerberos authentication. With 16 GB of internal NAND flash memory, you can use it to store logs and files without an external drive. The memory is expandable using a user-supplied SD card.
Features 2 USB Console Ports for Connection to Newer Devices
Two USB 2.0 console ports allow you to connect the B098-016 to newer USB devices, like Tripp Lite’s WEBCARDLX-equipped UPS systems and PDUs.
Includes Wi-Fi Diversity Antenna
The B098-016 includes Wi-Fi and supports both Client and WAP modes. Simply attach the included 2.4 GHz antenna to the unit’s main Wi-Fi port, and you’re ready to go. For a stronger signal, connect a second antenna (not included) to the unit’s auxiliary port.
Features Gateways that Port Forward to an Unlimited Number of Local Hosts
The B098-016 features a built-in stateful firewall and embedded DHCP server that hosts a separate LAN for critical traffic. Each of its gateways can port forward to an unlimited number of computers, routers and other locally networked host devices.
Built-In V.92 Modem Supports Out-of-Band Access
In the event a remote site experiences network failure, the B098-016 supports out-of-band (alternate channel) access to devices. Simply connect an RJ11 telephone/modem cable between the unit’s front-facing RJ11 port and a functioning landline to allow the modem to dial out.
Mounts Easily with Included Hardware
The B098-016 comes with mounting brackets for installation in any EIA-standard 19 in. rack. It also includes rubber feet, so you can put it on a desk or table and not worry about it sliding around or marring the surface.
