Digi CM Model Support

This manual offers information on Digi CM 8-port, 16-port, 32-port, and 48-port models.

Feature Overview

With Digi CM, administrators can securely monitor and control servers, routers, switches, and other network devices from anywhere on the corporate TCP/IP network, over the Internet, or through dial-up modem connections, even when the server is unavailable through the network.

Digi CM employs SSHv2 encryption, to keep server access passwords safe from hackers, and supports all popular SSH clients, as well as secure access from any Java-enabled browser. It is the first console server to provide a secure graphical user interface for easy out-of-band management of Microsoft Windows Server 2003 systems. It connects to serial console ports using standard CAT5 cables, eliminating the hassles of custom cabling. In addition, the Digi CM offers a PCMCIA card slot, for adding dialup modems or wireless network cards. Flash memory cards can be used to save port logs and backup configuration files.

Digi CM is available in 8-, 16-, 32- and 48-port models, in a 1U rack-mount form factor.
