Serial Port Profiles

Console Management Profile

Overview

The Console Management profile provides access through the network to a console or administrative
port of a server or router attached to the IOLAN’s serial port. This profile configures the IOLAN’s

Functionality

Use the Console Management profile when you are configuring users who need to access a serial
console port from the network.
