The Console Server runs an embedded Linux operating system. Experienced Linux and UNIX users may prefer to undertake
configuration at the command line. As an Administrator you can get command line access by connecting through a terminal
emulator or communications program to the console serial port; or by SSH or Telnet connecting to the Console Server over the
LAN; or by connecting to the Console Server through an SSH tunnel using the SDTConnector.
The B092-016 Console Server also has PowerAlert software and a selection of thin clients embedded (RDP, Firefox etc). You
will be able to use these consoles as well as the standard Management Console for access and control.
