Tripp Lite by Eaton 4-Port Console Server with 4G LTE Cellular Gateway, Dual GbE NIC, 4Gb Flash and Dual SIM

The Tripp Lite by Eaton 4-Port Console Server with 4G LTE Cellular Gateway, Dual GbE NIC, 4Gb Flash and Dual SIM (model B093-004-2E4U-V) is engineered to empower IT teams with secure, reliable remote management for both serial and network devices. Designed for data centers, edge locations, industrial environments, and multi-site networks, this versatile device combines out-of-band console access with a robust cellular gateway, giving administrators a flexible, always-on control plane. Whether you’re overseeing racks of networking gear, servers, or industrial controllers, this console server puts critical infrastructure at your fingertips from virtually anywhere. With dual SIM support and a fast 4G LTE connection, it’s built to deliver resilient connectivity even when wired networks are unstable, helping you minimize downtime and accelerate incident response.

• Seamless remote management for serial and network equipment: Access multiple serial consoles and management interfaces from a single, secure gateway. This eliminates the need for physical access to equipment at remote sites, reducing travel time and operational costs while speeding up maintenance windows.
• 4G LTE cellular gateway with dual SIM redundancy: Stay connected when landlines or Ethernet paths fail. The dual SIM capability provides automatic failover and load sharing, ensuring continuous out-of-band management and faster recovery from network outages.
• Dual GbE NICs for flexible network paths: Benefit from two independent Gigabit Ethernet interfaces that support management traffic on one and data or backup traffic on the other. This enables reliable segmentation, QoS, and resilient network design for critical devices.
• Generous 4GB Flash for performance and storage: Ample flash memory hosts the operating system, firmware, event logs, and configuration backups. This supports quick firmware upgrades, robust logging, and rapid recovery after maintenance activities.
• Dual-SIM capability and secure access: Enterprise-grade security with layered access controls, encrypted management sessions, and authentication options, plus dual SIMs to maximize uptime and ensure secure connectivity across diverse wireless networks.

How to install Tripp Lite by Eaton 4-Port Console Server

• Plan your topology: Map the devices you intend to manage through the console server, designate management networks, and determine which interface will carry out-of-band management traffic versus data traffic.
• Physically deploy the unit: Mount the console server in a secure location near the equipment you will manage. Connect the 4 serial console ports to your serial devices using standard console cables. Attach the dual GbE NICs to your primary management network and, if needed, a secondary path for redundancy.
• Install SIMs and configure connectivity: Insert the dual SIM cards in the dedicated slots. Power on the unit and verify the 4G LTE connection status. Configure primary and secondary cellular profiles to ensure seamless failover in case of network issues.
• Power, boot, and network enrollment: Apply power and allow the device to boot. Use the web-based management interface or CLI to enroll the console server into your central management system, apply firmware once available, and secure access credentials for administrators.
• Configure serial and network access: Define which devices are accessible through each serial port, set up user authentication, enable secure protocols (HTTPS/SSH), and implement access controls and logging as required by your security policy.
• Test end-to-end connectivity: From a remote workstation, connect to a target device via the console server. Verify console access, logging, remote reboots, and failover behavior on both Ethernet and cellular paths to confirm end-to-end reliability.

Frequently asked questions

• Q: What problems does this device solve? A: It centralizes out-of-band management for multiple serial and Ethernet-connected devices, enabling remote access, monitoring, and control from anywhere. It also provides resilient connectivity through 4G LTE with dual SIMs to minimize downtime during network failures.
• Q: Can I manage my devices securely? A: Yes. The console server supports secure management protocols, authentication controls, and logging to protect sensitive configurations and prevent unauthorized access.
• Q: How does dual SIM improve uptime? A: Dual SIM cards provide redundancy. If one cellular network is unavailable or degraded, the device can switch to the other network, preserving remote access and reducing the risk of unmanageable outages at remote sites.
• Q: What kinds of devices can connect through the 4 serial ports? A: The 4 ports are designed to connect serial equipment such as network switches, routers, servers, UPS controllers, environmental monitors, and other management consoles commonly used in data centers and industrial environments.
• Q: Is there a preferred management method? A: The unit offers multiple access methods, including a web-based UI and secure command-line interfaces. Administrators typically use SSH, HTTPS, and SNMP-based monitoring, complemented by central management software for automation and alerting.
• Q: Can this device be deployed in harsh environments? A: The design emphasizes reliability for data centers and edge deployments. For extreme environments, verify the product’s enclosure rating and ensure proper cooling and mounting per your site requirements.
