Cisco 2516 - Access Server?

[snedie]

Can the Cisco 2516 be used as a Console Access Server?

The cisco website has it listed having a single Async-Serial port, which if I am not mistaked enables it to use an Octal Cable?

Any info greatly appreciated.

not octal, more like asych connections
i.e. wic-2A/S or wic-1a/s

You should be able to use it as an Access server using "CAB-OCTAL-ASYNC" cable,


Also a quick set up guide if you need:
