Product features 8
True serial capabilities
The console switch supports the HP Serial G2 Adapter, which provides true serial capabilities. You can
directly launch an SSH or Telnet session or launch a serial viewer from the local console UI or remote
OBWI to establish a serial console session.
Local and remote user interfaces
To configure and manage your console switch, you can use either the local console UI or the remote
OBWI.
The two user interfaces share a similar look and feel for optimal user experience.
Virtual media capabilities
You can view, move, or copy data located on virtual media to and from any target device. This
functionality enables you to manage remote systems more efficiently for standard tasks such as operating
system installation, operating system recovery, hard drive recovery or duplication, BIOS updating, and
target device backup.
NOTE: To open a virtual media session with a target device, you must first connect the target
device to a console switch using a virtual media capable interface adapter.
You can connect virtual media for the local console to the console switch using local USB ports, or you
can connect virtual media remotely from the client computer.
Smart card capabilities
You can use a smart card, also referred to as a CAC, with your console switch when two-factor
authentication is required.
NOTE: To use a smart card reader with a target device, you must first connect the target
device to a console switch using a smart card capable interface adapter.
You can connect smart card readers directly to the console switch using local USB ports, or you can
connect smart card readers to any remote workstation. The smart card reader must be connected prior to
starting a console session with the server. For more information about smart cards, see Using Smart Cards
(on page 66).
