User Manual
• Users at the central office can 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
• All these remote console servers can be monitored with a CMS6000 on the central network
• 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
The road warrior administrator can use a VPN IPsec software client to remotely access the console server
and every machine on the Management LAN subnet at the remote location
Configuration of IPsec is quite complex so Opengear provides a GUI interface for basic set up as
described below.

1. Select IPsec VPN on the Serial & Networks menu
2. Click Add and complete the Add IPsec Tunnel screen
3. Enter any descriptive name you wish to identify the IPsec Tunnel you are adding such as
