Opengear’s CM8100 CM8116 Console Server is engineered for serious enterprise and data-center environments where reliable, secure, and accessible out-of-band management is non-negotiable. This high-density console server packs 16 serial ports with straight-pinout connections, giving IT teams a single, centralized point of control for a wide array of network gear, servers, and remotely deployed devices. With dual gigabit Ethernet interfaces, robust ARM-based processing, ample memory, and hardware-backed security, the CM8100/CM8116 enables proactive maintenance, rapid troubleshooting, and safer remote access—even when the primary network is down. It’s designed to simplify scalable management across racks and sites, helping administrators reduce mean time to repair (MTTR), improve auditability, and maintain governance in regulated environments. Whether you’re managing a large campus, a colocation facility, or a remote site with limited on-site IT support, this console server delivers consistent performance and dependable remote reach to keep your infrastructure online.

  • High-density serial connectivity: 16 straight-pinout serial ports allow comprehensive device access from a single box, making it easy to monitor, configure, and troubleshoot a broad set of equipment without swapping cables or cascading appliances.
  • Secure, reliable networking: Two 1 GbE network interfaces provide dedicated management connectivity and reliable failover options, enabling secure out-of-band access even when primary networks are disrupted or segmented.
  • Powerful, efficient processing: An ARM-based dual-core processor running at 1.6 GHz, paired with 2 GB of RAM, delivers responsive performance for multiple concurrent sessions, real-time monitoring, and fast command execution across your devices.
  • Local storage and hardware security: 32 GB of flash storage supports the operating system, logging, and local backups, while TPM 2.0 offers hardware-backed security for trusted boot, secure storage, and strong protection for credentials and configurations.
  • Enterprise-grade management platform: Built to support Opengear’s out-of-band management features, the CM8100/CM8116 enables automated provisioning, RBAC-based access control, secure firmware updates, and scalable remote operations across distributed environments.

How to install Opengear CM8100 CM8116 Console Server

  • Plan and prepare: Identify a suitable rack location with stable power and network access. Verify you have the required 19-inch rack space and the appropriate mounting hardware for a clean, organized installation.
  • Rack mount and power: Mount the unit securely in the rack and connect it to a reliable power source. If you use redundant power, configure it according to your data-center standards to maximize availability.
  • Network connections: Connect the two 1 GbE Ethernet ports to your management network and, if preferred, a separate path for out-of-band access. Ensure port wiring aligns with your network diagram and security policies.
  • Initial access and configuration: Power on the device and access the initial setup interface via the serial console or web UI. Configure the management IP, admin credentials, time synchronization (NTP), and basic security settings (SSH, RBAC, access lists).
  • Define serial port mappings and policies: Assign each of the 16 serial ports to the devices you manage, set up user access controls, logging, and alert rules. Enable TPM-based security features and apply firmware updates if available.
  • Verify operation: Confirm reachability to connected devices, test out-of-band access from both on-site and remote locations, and validate auditing, alerting, and backup procedures. Document the configuration for disaster recovery and future scaling.

Great as a ‘pantry’ item for making a meal without previous planning.
Flavor Name: Variety Pack
Because of limited mobility, I never know who will do my grocery shopping and meal preparation. In other words, I can only count on having vegetables half of the time. I love adding this as a side dish or mixing it in with an entree. They work well cold or thrown into a hot dish. My favorites are the ‘riced’ cauliflower & the artichoke. I love the taste of the asperagus but found my body produced an even stronger aroma (if you know what I mean about asperagus eating) in this, possibly, more intense format. Very Satisfying all around. Great substitue for something more starchy.

Crisp but with sour taste from lactic acid.
Flavor Name: Variety Pack
Thought it might be nice to have pantry stable veggies. However, they have a noticeable sourness due to the lactic acid used as preservative. This is probably necessary to avoid heating/cooking as is done with canned vegetables. They are much crispier than canned vegetables. The sourness might be fine in some dishes or to some tastes.
