Advanced Console Server & RIM Gateway User Manual 99
Note: By default, the advanced console server supports automatic failure-recovery back to the original state prior to
failover (V3.1.0 firmware and later). The advanced console server continually pings probe addresses whilst in
original and failover states. The original state will automatically be set as a priority and reestablished following
three successful pings of the probe addresses during failover. The failover state will be removed once the original
state has been re-established.

34 and ACM5504-5-G-I) that can be configured for alternate and OoB (out-of-band) broadband access. With two active
broadband access paths to these advanced console servers, in the event you are unable to access through the primary
management network (LAN1, Network or Network1) you can still access it through the alternate broadband path
