•For each new user, select Serial & Network: Users & Groups and click Add User.

•Enter a Username and enter and confirm a Password, and nominate the Accessible Hosts and Ports the user is allowed to access, then click Apply.

For dial in modem access you must set up PPP with a user account:

•Select System: Dial and select the port to be configured (either Internal Modem Port or Serial Port 1/ External USB Type A Port for B095-004-1E with external modem).

•Set the Baud Rate and Flow Control that will be used on the modem link. When using a console server with a built-in modem, it is recommended that this be changed to 115200 Baud Rate with hardware Flow Control. When connecting an external modem to Serial Port 1 or the USB Type A port on the B095-004-1E, these settings must match that of the external modem.

•Check Enable Dial-In Access and configure the Dial-In Settings (Username, Password, Remote and Local PPP IP Address field, Authentication).

•Click Apply.

•If you wish additional dial-back security, check Enable Dial-Backand enter the phone number to be called to re-establish an OoB link once a dial-in connection has been logged.

•Extensive management of Tripp Lite and third party UPSs and PDUs using open source NUT and Powerman tools. The Manage: Power facility enables both administrators and regular users to monitor and control attached PDU power strips, and servers with embedded IPMI BMCs.

•Historical logs of all communications with serial- and network-attached devices, system activity,

UPS and PDU power status, environmental status, etc. The level of logging is set as ports and devices are configured, Alerts & Logging: Port Log allows this history to be saved locally or remotely. Logs can be viewed from the Status and Manage menus.
