Product Overview

Console Server Features

In-band and out-of-band management

Console port management solutions offer remote, reliable, and secure access to serial- console ports through in-band networks and out-of-band connectivity options, such as serial terminal access and dial-up modem.

Manage network devices/servers centrally, remotely, and securely

Reliable console-port management solutions allow you to encrypt sensitive data using proven protocols such as SSH/v2, SSL.

Diverse devices management

Simple ASCII or VT-100 terminal emulation is not sufficient to manage these wide- ranging device types. Today’s data centers contain a broad mix of UNIX®, Linux®, RISC, mainframe, and Windows® servers, as well as other serially managed devices such as router, gateway, firewall, PBX, UPS, SAN, and NAS devices, and intelligent power strips.

Proactive monitoring and warning to assist system diagnosis

Applications, and even operating systems, send messages to the system console. These messages contain error and panic information that often precedes a system crash. Unlike terminal servers, console-port servers buffer these messages in real time and allow administrators to page through and search this data at a later time; they also spontaneously send an email to alert IT administrator of the critical event.

Remote and secure power controller

Via serial port, this device acts as control master for controlling power strips. It can control multiple power strips (up to 15).

Provides serial-to-serial function

This allows the device to incorporate with a terminal converter to provide VGA and keyboard ports locally, or connect the VGA/keyboard ports to a KVM switch to consolidate the administration.

Access port lists for users

Thanks to the Access Control List (ACL) of user account administration, all users except admin accounts, are authorized a set of serial ports. Users can access and make configuration changes to those authorized serial ports assigned by an admin account.
