Introduction

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: Unless noted, references to a console server refer to all models in the 60XX series.

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.
