2.2.2 Power: Console Server with PowerAlert
The standard B092-016 Console Server has a built-in universal auto-switching AC power supply. Thi s
power supply accepts AC input voltage between 100 a nd 240 VAC with a frequency of 50 or 60 Hz and
the power consumption is less than 40W.
The AC power socket is located at the rear of the B092-016. This power inlet uses a conventi onal AC
power cord. A North American power cord is provided by default. Power cords for other regions are
available separately from Tripp Lite.
The RJ45 10/100 LAN port is located on the rea r of the B092-016 Console Server, and on the front of the
B096-048/016 Console Server Management Switch. All physical connections are made using industry
standard Cat5e patch cables (Tripp Lite N001 and N002 series cables). Ensure you only connect the LAN
port to an Ethernet network that supports 10Base-T/100Base-T. For the initial configuration of the
Console Server you must connect a computer to the Console Server’s principal network port.
2.4 Serial Port connection The RJ45 serial ports are located on the rear of the B092-016 Console Server and on the front of the
B096-048/016 Console Server Management Switch. These C onsole Servers use the RJ45 pinout used by
Cisco. Use straight through RJ-45 cabling to connect to equipment such as Cisco, Juniper, SUN, and
more.

Conventional Cat5 cabling with RJ45 jacks are used for serial connections. Before connecting the console
port of an external device to the Console Server serial port, confirm that the device supports standard
RS-232C (EIA-232).
