16-Port Serial Console Server

The SN series of serial console servers integrate cutting edge technology with secure enterprise communications. Available in 16-port models, the serial console server offers both in-band and out-of-band remote serial console access to servers and network devices, via a direct Telnet/SSH client or an applet viewer. SN works in tandem with the Power Over the NET™ remote power management system. Both can be managed with CC2000 management software to provide centralized data center management and integrated power management. With their comprehensive features, SN series of serial console servers help maximize IT productivity, provide scalability and reduce operational costs.
