Vertiv MPUIQ-SRL-G01 Concise Descriptor
Overview
The Vertiv Avocent MPUIQ-SRL-G01 is a serial port extender module designed to provide legacy serial connectivity for modern Avocent KVM-over-IP switches. This accessory is critical for environments that still rely on serial-based devices such as older routers, switches, or specialized industrial equipment that lack Ethernet or USB interfaces. The MPUIQ-SRL-G01 ensures these devices can be managed through the KVM infrastructure, bridging the gap between older serial protocols and current IT management platforms. It's a direct-replacement module for specific Avocent KVM appliances, offering a straightforward way to add serial management capabilities without requiring new hardware for the end devices.
Compatibility
This module is specifically designed for use with the following Avocent KVM appliances: AMX series KVM-over-IP switches and IPUs (Intelligent Power Units) that feature the IQ Intelligent Module interface. It is not a standalone device and requires a compatible Avocent KVM appliance to function. Verify your specific Avocent model supports IQ Intelligent Modules for serial extension.
Installation Notes
Installation involves physically inserting the MPUIQ-SRL-G01 module into an available IQ Intelligent Module slot on a compatible Avocent KVM appliance. Ensure the appliance is powered off before installation. Once seated, the module is recognized by the KVM appliance, and the serial port becomes available for configuration through the KVM's management interface. No external power is required for the module itself, as it draws power from the KVM appliance.
