ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus providing remote access to server consoles in a network is disclosed. The method and apparatus provides remote access by utilizing a single server designated an access server, multiple serial port means attached to this single access server, and a plurality of additional servers coupled to this multiple serial port means. The method and apparatus couples the server console lines to the serial ports of the multiple serial port means as well as server console terminals. Remote access is accomplished by gaining access to the access server, which then provides access to any one of the serial ports associated with the access server, thereby providing remote access to any one of the plurality of server console lines coupled to the multiple serial port means. This capability is accomplished while local accessibility to the server console terminals is maintained.
