Review on πŸ”Œ Vertiv Avocent ACS8032-NA-DAC-400: 32-Port Serial Console Server with Dual AC Power, AT&T+Verizon, and 4G LTE Support by Greg Hammett

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Very powerful - but installation requires some skill!

This is a very stable and powerful console with a very rich and useful feature set. My only caveat is that unless you're experienced with professional networking equipment, you won't be able to set this up without the help of someone who does. The setup isn't very complicated, but figuring out how to do it takes some time, and neither the literature nor the online help was very helpful. I ended up asking a friend to do it and I'll probably have to return it if I need to make any changes. Once configured, it works like a charm!

Pros
  • POWER DEVICE MANAGEMENT: Two 1 Gigabit Ethernet ports for network connectivity and failover, and secure in-band management for day-to-day network management. Comes with enhanced rack PDU support.
Cons
  • The list will be long.
