8-/16-/32-/48-Port Advanced Console Server Quick Start Guide
Enter the IP address/DNS name of the host.
Edit the permitted services used for accessing this host, for example,
HTTPS (TCP port 443), VNC (TCP port 5900), or add custom TCP or
UDP port numbers—only the services specified here are tunneled
through to the host. All other services are blocked.
Specify the level of information to be logged and monitored for each host
access.
Click “Apply.”
The Advanced Console Server has one USB 1.1 port (on the front panel)
and one USB 2.0 port on the back panel. Attached USB devices are auto-
configured.
The console server has an internal 16 GB flash drive for log file storage.
However, the USB 1.1 port can be used with an external USB flash for
loading updated firmware or config files.
The USB 2.0 port can also be used for connecting to USB console ports on
UPS supplies or Cisco® devices.
Step 5: Add new users.
NOTE: We recommend that you set up a new Administrator user (in the
admin group with full access privileges) and log in as this new user for all
ongoing administration functions (rather than continuing as root).
• For each new user, select “Serial & Network: Users & Groups” and click
“Add User.”
• Enter a username and enter and confirm a password.
• Select one or multiple group memberships for the user. To grant limited
access to the management console, check the “users” group. To grant
full access to the management console, check the “admin” group. By
default, the user is granted no management console access.
• Nominate the dial-in options for the user and the accessible hosts and
accessible ports the user is allowed to access.
• Click “Apply.”
