LX Series

4000T Console Servers

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.
