The Eaton Tripp Lite Series B098-048 48-Port Serial Console Server provides a robust solution for remotely managing serial and network-connected devices across multiple locations. Designed with enterprise-grade security and high reliability, this device ensures you can access routers, switches, firewalls, PBX systems, UPS units, and PDUs from anywhere in the world at any time. Its dual Gigabit Ethernet ports support primary and failover connections, offering seamless network redundancy, while dual SFP ports enable fiber optic connectivity for extended distance links. The device’s rack-mountable steel housing allows easy 1U installation, making it suitable for wiring closets, branch offices, kiosks, and remote sites where quick troubleshooting is critical. The inclusion of dual power supplies enhances availability, ensuring continuous operation even during power failures. Managing critical network infrastructure remotely reduces the need for costly site visits, saving both time and resources.
Connectivity is simplified with 48 RJ45 console ports compatible with standard Cat5e/6 patch cables, facilitating straightforward setup with Cisco devices and other industry-standard hardware. The console server supports industry-standard authentication protocols such as TACACS+, RADIUS, LDAP, and Kerberos, integrating seamlessly into existing security frameworks. Internal NAND flash storage of 16 GB provides ample space for log and file storage, expandable via an SD card slot for added capacity. For out-of-band management, the device features a built-in V.92 modem, allowing dial-out access through an RJ11 port connected to a landline. This enables administrators to access network devices during primary network outages or when in-band management is unavailable.
Security is a top priority with the B098-048, supporting standards including PCI DSS 3.2, FIPS 140-2, SSL, SSH, and embedded VPN protocols such as OpenVPN and IPSec. The device’s FIPS 140-2 validated cryptographic module ensures the encryption and protection of sensitive data. Integrated features like a stateful firewall and embedded DHCP server enable the creation of a secure management LAN for sensitive traffic. Power management is enhanced with support for PowerMan PDU and UPS systems, facilitating remote power control and monitoring, which is vital for maintaining uptime in critical environments. The device also features two USB 3.0 console ports supporting transfer speeds up to 5 Gbps, allowing connection to modern power management devices with remote management capabilities.
Designed with versatility and ease of deployment in mind, the B098-048 includes mounting hardware for 1U rack installation and rubber feet for desktop use. Its compact, heavy-duty steel housing ensures durability and reliable operation in demanding environments. The device is TAA-compliant, making it eligible for GSA Schedule purchases and other federal procurement processes. Whether managing a small remote site or a large enterprise network, this console server provides a secure, scalable, and efficient solution for remote device management, reducing operational costs while maintaining high security standards.
