16-, 32- and 48-Port Console Servers
This Quick Start Guide will take you through basic installation, configuration and local operation.
For more detailed information, download the Owner's Manual from www.tripplite.com/support.
1. Connecting the Hardware
Using the included power adapter cord, plug the console server into the power source. The B096
1
console servers have dual universal AC power supplies with automatic failover built in. We
recommend plugging the console server into a Tripp Lite UPS, PDU or Surge Suppressor.
Connect the NETWORK1 port on the console server to your network; connect your serial devices to
2
the console server SERIAL ports 1-16/32/48.
Note: If you plan to use out-of-band (OoB) dial-in access, connect the internal modem to the phone line. If you plan to use broadband
OoB, connect the access device (such as DSL modem) to NETWORK2.
2. Setting Up the Console Server
The default console server IP address is 192.168.0.1 (Subnet Mask 255.255.255.0). With a web
browser on any computer that is LAN connected to the console server:
Enter https://192.168.0.1 into the address bar.
1
Note: The LAN connected computer must have an IP address in the same network range (192.168.0.xxx) as the B096 console server.
If this is not convenient, you can use the ARP Ping command to set the IP address (refer to the User's Manual or online FAQ for details).
The console server also has its DHCP client enabled by default, so it will automatically accept any network IP address assigned by any
DHCP server on your network – and will then respond at both 192.168.0.1 and its DHCP address.
Log in using the default system user name:
2
root and the default password: default. A
Welcome screen listing the basic configuration
steps will display.
Select System: Administration, enter and
3
confirm a new System Password and click
Apply.
To assign your console server a static IP
4
address or to permanently enable DHCP, select System: IP then Network 1 and check DHCP or
Static for Configuration Method.
