Note: To set up a new serially connected RPC, UPS or EMD device, ﬁrst conﬁgure the serial port, designate it as a device, and then enter a

name and description for that device in the Serial & Network: RPC Connections (or UPS Connections or Environmental). When applied,

this will automatically create a corresponding new managed device with the same name/description as the RPC/UPS host (refer to 8. Power,

Environment and Digital I/O).

The outlet names on the PDU are by default “Outlet 1” “Outlet 2”. When connecting a particular managed device that draws power from the

outlet, the outlet will take the name of the powered managed device.

4.8 IPsec VPN

The console servers include Openswan, a Linux implementation of the IPsec (IP security) protocols, which can be used to

conﬁgure a Virtual Private Network (VPN). The VPN allows multiple sites or remote administrators to access the Tripp Lite

advanced console server (and managed devices) securely over the internet.

The administrator can establish encrypted authenticated VPN connections between advanced console servers distributed at

remote sites and a VPN gateway (such as Cisco router running IOS IPsec) on their central ofﬁce network:

• Users and administrators at the central ofﬁce can then securely access the remote console. servers and connected serial

console devices and machines on the Management LAN subnet at the remote location as though they were local.

• With serial bridging, serial data from controller at the central ofﬁce machine can be securely connected to the serially

controlled devices at the remote sites (refer to 4.1 Conﬁgure Serial Ports).

The road warrior administrator can use a VPN IPsec software client such as TheGreenBow (www.thegreenbow.com/vpn_

gateway.html) or Shrew Soft (www.shrew.net/support ) to remotely access the advanced console server and every machine on

the Management LAN subnet at the remote location.

Conﬁguration of IPsec is quite complex so Tripp Lite provides a simple GUI interface for basic set up as described below.

However, for more detailed information on conﬁguring Openswan IPsec at the command line and interconnecting with other

IPsec VPN gateways and road warrior IPsec software, refer http://wiki.openswan.org

4.8.1 Enable the VPN Gateway

Select IPsec VPN on the Serial & Networks menu.
