  • 16 serial ports provide out-of-band access

  • Python and Docker support automates infrastructure tasks
  • Dual power supplies with independent monitoring ensure uptime
  • Embedded TPM 2.0 module secures the device

16-Port Serial Console Server

The Opengear CM8116 is a 16-port serial console server built for data centre and enterprise network automation. It runs on an ARM 1.6 GHz dual-core processor and includes dual 1 GbE interfaces for redundant management connectivity.

Replaces Legacy Terminal Servers

This unit serves as a direct upgrade path from older terminal servers that lack modern automation hooks. The jump is worthwhile when operations teams need Python and Docker support to script configuration tasks across large device estates.

Straightforward Rack Installation

The appliance mounts in a standard rack and uses dual power supplies with independent monitoring for resilience. Common issues include overlooking the TPM 2.0 module setup during initial bootstrap and forgetting to configure the integrated temperature sensors for environmental alerts.
