SERIMUX

SERIMUX-SECURE-16 (Front & Back)

Features & Applications

The SERIMUX® SECURE SSH Console Switch delivers secure control of up to 32 serial devices via Ethernet, LAN or dial-up modem connections. It combines the advanced security of Secure Shell v1/v2 128-bit encryption with unlimited access to remote network management, providing optimum system performance and availability.

Enhanced WebUI (User Interface) provides an easy-to-use way for system administrators to find the information they need quickly. It provides visibility to all ports on one screen, with point and click capability.
  • Securely and intelligently monitor and control multiple RS232 network devices.
  • Provides remote control of servers, switches, routers, LAN/WAN components, power supplies and PBXs through a single interface.
  • Powerful diagnostic and event management features (data capture, notification and scripting) assist in the quick location of the source of equipment failures and minimize downtime.
  • Auto Alert provides instant email notification of server or router alarms, for immediate response in critical situations.
  • Provides fast access--even when the network is down or the operating system locks up.
    • In-band management of network devices over wired/wireless LAN.
    • Out-of-band management via dial-in access. Supports Dynamic DNS or PPPoE protocols for broadband network connectivity.
    • PCMCIA slot for enhanced functionality. Supports many PC cards (Wired/Wireless LAN card, phone-line modem card and Flash Memory card).
  • Port logging/buffering assists in trouble-shooting failures by using built-in RAM disk or ATA storage card, NFS server or SYSLOG server to save the last 8KB of data output from each device.
  • 1 HE/U rack-mount enclosure allows for space-effective co-location with network hardware.
  • Supports Windows Server 2003 Emergency Management Services--helps IT/Telco administrators perform emergency recovery tasks when the server is not accessible through the network.
  • Compatible with OpenSSH Client.
  • Enhanced security features protect your system:
    • Secure Shell (SSH v1/v2) with public key encrypts data to protect against unauthorized users "sniffing" passwords.
    • Individual port authentication provides strong user authentication and protection for port access.
    • IP filtering has firewall functionality and a configurable list of IP addresses and protocols, allowing the network administrator to set access policies and admit or deny access.
    • HTTPS secures browser connections to the console server's web interface.
  • Supports secure clustering of up to 16 slave units. Allows encrypted access of up to 512 devices connected to multiple master or slave switches.
  • Easy, user-friendly installation. Configuration can be done over the Internet, via Telnet or SSH.
  • Simplified cabling. The 8-pin configuration matches all Sun and Cisco RJ45 console port configurations, allowing administrators to use CAT5 cabling without pin-out concerns.
  • SUN Solaris safe.
