1004T Console Servers
A Complete Out-of-Band Networking Solution
The 1004T Series of console servers (also referred to as terminal
servers) gives IT administrators the ability to perform secure
remote management of operational and physical infrastructures.
LX Series Console Servers provide management access to a
wide range of IT infrastructure devices such as UNIX, LINUX
and Windows Servers as well as switches, routers, firewalls, and
telephony equipment.
With models ranging from 1 to 4 ports, the LX-1000T Series can
meet a wide range of needs. The 1000T Series uses the proven LX
Series software which allows a common set of features to be used
consistently across multiple LX Series models. The 1004T Series
offers power options for installation utilizing North American and
International power as well as DC power for telcos and carriers.
An optional internal v.92 or GSM\GPRS modem provides dial up
connectivity access.
The 1004T Series can be used with MRV’s 5250/ 4800 Power
Control Series to provide administrators with the ability to manage,
control, and monitor individual power outlets for critical equipment.
Using secure access through the 1004T Series, network managers
can remotely power cycle a locked up server, bring a redundant
system online or turn on an auxiliary air conditioner.
Physical infrastructure control and monitoring can be enabled on
each 1004T Series serial port, supporting 2 sensor inputs or 2
control outputs. Sophisticated Trigger/Action control can be used
for customizing to meet specific organizational notification and
control needs.
