LX Series

4000T Console Servers

A Complete Out-of-Band Networking Solution

The 4000T Series of console servers (also referred to as terminal

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/ 4800 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 2 sensor inputs or 2

control outputs. For sites that need expanded sensor monitoring,

the 7204 Sensor Manager augments the 4000T Series to support

high density wet and dry contact and analog loop sensors with

control outputs. Sophisticated Trigger/Action control can be used

for customizing that meets specific organizational notification and

control needs.
