The Cyclades™ ACS 6000 advanced console server is a 1U appliance that serves as a single
point for access and administration of connected devices, such as target device consoles, modems
and power devices. Console servers support secure remote data center management and out-of-
band management of IT assets from any location worldwide.
NOTE: Unlessnoted,referencestoaconsoleserver refer toallmodelsinthe60XXseries.
Console servers provide secure local (console port) and remote (IP and dial-up) access. The
console servers run the Linux
®
operating system with a persistent file system in Flash memory,
and can be upgraded from either FTP or a DSView
™
3 management software server.
Multiple administrators can be logged into the console server at the same time and can use the
web manager, the Command Line Interface (CLI utility) or DSView 3 software (version 3.6.0.152
and greater) to access and configure the console server.
Two PC card/slots support modem (V.92 and Wireless GSM/CDMA), Ethernet, fast Ethernet
(fiber optic) and storage PC cards (16 bit and 32 bit). One USB port supports modem (V.92 and
Wireless GSM/CDMA), storage devices and USB hubs. Two fast Ethernet ports support
connections to more than one network or configuration of Ethernet bonding (failover) for
redundancy and greater reliability. For dial-in and secure dial-back with Point-to-Point Protocol
(PPP), optional internal modems can be factory installed, or you can use external modems or
wireless modem CardBus devices.
