A next-generation console management solution.
The ACS 6000 console server series integrates advanced technologies, adaptive services and secure enterprise communications for high-end, large, enterprise data centers. These console servers offer the performance and reliability necessary to efficiently access and manage IT assets such as servers (UNIX, Linux and Solaris), routers, switches, public branch exchange (PBX) telecommunications equipment (DSU/CSU) and serial power devices.
The high-performance architecture of the ACS 6000 console server series offers advanced hardware and software features to meet the demanding requirements of data center management applications. The series features a high-speed processor platform with dual gigabit-Ethernet ports for redundancy, optional built-in modem and two 16- and 32-bit PC card options. Other benefits include an internal temperature sensor for device-level monitoring and configurable pin-outs for serial ports.

Wireless Modem (GPRS/EDGE/UMTS/HSPDA)
(*) Both GE0201 and GEO301 cards are detected with 3 different interfaces which might be confusing for customers when configuring dial-in feature, however this is a characteristic of the card. The device name to be used is the "ttyUSB0" (**) Both the GE0201 and GEO301 cards work fine with PPP, however we have a restriction with CLI and ts_menu (without PPP connection) - it does not work if terminal connection is used (it will print everything on the same line). |
