16-Port DDR3 Console Server
The Opengear CM7116-2-DAC is a 1U rack-mount console server built for out-of-band management of network infrastructure. It provides sixteen RS-232 serial ports via RJ-45 connectors alongside dual Gigabit Ethernet uplinks and a dedicated management port. The unit runs on DDR3 SDRAM with 4GB of flash memory installed.
Network teams needing serial console access
This server suits administrators who require secure, remote access to switches, routers, firewalls and servers through serial consoles. It supports SNMP, HTTPS, TFTP and SSH for encrypted management sessions. Teams without any serial-attached equipment or those needing higher port density should evaluate alternative solutions.
230.4 Kbps serial data rate
The maximum asynchronous data transfer rate across the sixteen serial ports is 230.4 Kbps per port. This ceiling determines whether the unit can keep pace with the console traffic generated by your specific devices. Verify the required baud rates of your target equipment before deployment.

Questions about this item
What network infrastructure must I have so the 1000Base-T RJ-45 ports can connect?
You need a wired Gigabit Ethernet network with standard RJ-45 cabling to use the two 1000Base-T ports and the dedicated management RJ-45 port.
Can the 16 RS-232 RJ-45 serial ports talk to my existing RS-232 equipment?
Yes, the 16 RS-232 RJ-45 interfaces use the RS-232 data link protocol so they work directly with legacy serial devices that also speak RS-232.
How do I verify the console server is operating correctly once racked and cabled?
Connect to the management RJ-45 port, then use HTTPS or SSH to confirm the 4 GB flash memory and DDR3 SDRAM initialise and the 230.4 Kbps serial rate is reported.
