Features and Benefits

Overview

The CPS is a serial over IP network appliance that provides non-blocked

access and control for multiplatform servers and serial devices such as routers,

power management devices and firewalls. This includes Avocent SPC power

distribution units that provide advanced power management and security.

You may connect up to 8 serial devices to a CPS810, and 16 serial devices to

a CPS1610. A single 10/100 Ethernet port provides network connectivity on

each CPS. Two CPS appliances may be mounted in 1U of vertical space in a

standard 19 inch rack.

Figure 1.1: CPS Model 1610

Serial device access options

You may choose from among several available Telnet options to access the CPS

and its attached serial devices:

• The proprietary DS family of access and management interfaces, includ-

ing DSAdmin, DSAuth and DSView™, which offers a built-in enhanced

Telnet client

• Third-party Telnet clients

Access to attached serial devices is also possible via a serial Command Line

Interface (CLI) connection, a PPP (Point to Point Protocol) dial-in connection to

a serial CLI modem or from a third-party SSH client.

User authentication and data security

The CPS user database supports up to 64 user accounts, which include

usernames, passwords and/or keys, plus specifications of access rights to CPS

ports and commands. User definitions may be changed at any time. You may

choose to have user access authenticated locally at the CPS user database, at

one or more DS authentication servers or at one or more RADIUS (Remote

Access Dial-In User Service) servers. Data security may be enhanced via

industry-standard Secure Socket Layer (SSL) and SSH encryption methods.

4CPS Installer/User Guide

Extensive command set

The CPS offers a wide range of commands that allow administrators to

easily configure, control and display information about the CPS operating

environment, including its ports, user accounts and active sessions. The user

interface also offers descriptive error message data and built-in command help

information. On-board Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP) support allows

administrators to upload new functionality to CPS units in the field.

Port history

Each CPS port has a buffer that holds the most recent 64K bytes of online and

offline serial data. A separate history command mode lets you navigate within

a port’s current history file and conduct tailored searches.

Safety Precautions

To avoid potential device problems when using Avocent products, if the building

has 3-phase AC power, ensure that a computer and its monitor (if used) are on

the same phase. For best results, they should be on the same circuit.

To avoid potentially fatal shock hazard and possible damage to equipment,

please observe the following precautions:

• Do not use a 2-wire extension cord in any Avocent product conﬁguration.

• Test AC outlets at the computer and monitor (if used) for proper polarity

and grounding.

• Use only with grounded outlets at both the computer and monitor. When

using a backup Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS), power the computer,

the monitor and the CPS unit off the supply.

NOTE: The AC inlet is the main disconnect.

Rack mount safety considerations

• Elevated Ambient Temperature: If installed in a closed rack assembly, the

operation temperature of the rack environment may be greater than room

ambient. Use care not to exceed the rated maximum ambient temperature

of the unit.

• Reduced Airﬂow: Installation of the equipment in a rack should be such

that the amount of airﬂow required for safe operation of the equipment is

not compromised.

• Mechanical Loading: Mounting of the equipment in the rack should be

such that a hazardous condition is not achieved due to uneven

mechanical loading.
