Description

The Eaton Tripp Lite Series 48-Port Console Server is engineered to deliver secure, reliable remote management for a broad range of serial and network-connected devices. Designed for IT professionals who require consistent access to critical infrastructure, this compact yet powerful console server consolidates management across routers, switches, firewalls, PBX systems, UPS units, and PDUs. With a focus on reliability, scalability, and ease of deployment, it supports robust out-of-band administration, comprehensive logging, and secure remote access, making it ideal for data centers, remote offices, service providers, and government environments where uptime and auditability matter.

From the factory floor to the executive data center, this console server keeps your network moving by providing centralized control over a large array of devices. It is built to withstand demanding environments while offering flexible mounting options so you can place it on a desk or rack it in a 1U chassis. The inclusion of USB ports for local peripheral connections and a generous 4 GB of flash memory ensures fast boot times, responsive configuration, and durable storage for firmware and logs. The unit’s dual Gigabit Ethernet NICs enable reliable network separation, making it suitable for both management and out-of-band access, with the capability to support secure, resilient remote management workflows across multiple sites.

  • Consolidated remote management for multiple devices: Access and control up to dozens of serial consoles and network devices from a single, secure interface, reducing manual intervention and improving response times during outages or configuration changes.
  • Robust connectivity and accessibility: Dual Gigabit Ethernet NICs enable separate networks for out-of-band management and data traffic, helping ensure uninterrupted access even under heavy operational loads.
  • Local storage and quick recovery: 4 GB of flash memory provides ample space for firmware, configuration data, logs, and rapid recovery after power or network events, so administrators can recover quickly and reliably.
  • Flexible deployment options: Desktop or 1U rack mounting makes it easy to integrate into existing deployments, while USB ports (2) support local device connections, firmware updates, or quick data transfers during maintenance windows.
  • Compliance and reliability: TAA-compliant for government and enterprise procurement, backed by Tripp Lite’s reputation for durable, enterprise-grade hardware and long-term support.

how to install Eaton Tripp Lite Series 48-Port Console Server

Installing the Eaton Tripp Lite Series 48-Port Console Server is a straightforward process designed to minimize downtime and maximize reliability. Begin by selecting a suitable workspace: place the unit on a clean desk or install it into a compatible 1U rack with included mounting hardware or compatible rails. Ensure adequate ventilation and avoid exposure to extreme temperatures, dust, or moisture. Connect the console server to your network and power source. Use the Dual Gigabit Ethernet NICs to establish an out-of-band management network and a primary management network, configuring them according to your organizational security policies. Attach the serial devices you want to manage to the 48 ports, and connect any USB peripherals you plan to use for local configuration or data transfer. Power on the device and access the management interface (web UI or console) to initialize the system, assign IP addresses, configure user accounts, enable encryption and authentication, and apply the latest firmware. Create user roles with appropriate permissions, set up alerts and event logging, and define access controls to ensure only authorized personnel can reach critical devices. Finally, test remote access from multiple workstations and verify that you can reach routers, switches, firewalls, PBX systems, UPS, and PDUs through the console server. Periodically update firmware and review security configurations to keep the deployment compliant and resilient against evolving threats.
