Out-of-Band Networking
A Complete Out-of-Band Networking Solution
The 4000T Series of console servers gives IT
administrators the ability to perform secure remote
management of operational and physical infrastructures.
With models ranging from 8 to 48 ports, the LX-4000T Series can
meet a wide range of needs. The 4000T Series uses the proven
LX Series software, for an easy transition from other LX Series
models. Dual Ethernet ports support automatic failover to
secondary paths. The 4000T Series offers single and dual power
options in all port densities. An optional internal modem provides
flexibility and dial up connectivity. The optional Digital Volt
Meter provides visibility to power levels for DC power sources.
The 4000T Series can be used with MRV’s 5250 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 4000T 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 4000T Series serial port, supporting two
sensor inputs or two control outputs. Sophisticated Trigger/
Action control can be used for customizing that meets
specific organizational notification and control needs.
