The SERIMUX® Console Switch provides remote network management from one central location. Up to 32 RS232 network devices can be controlled via local or dial-up access from one dumb terminal. This intelligent console switch provides a convenient method of connecting multiple RS232 devices for on-site and dial-up remote communications.
Network administrators can manage server farms or data centers via serial ports and standard external modems. Out-of-band access allows administrators to control multiple UNIX computers and LAN/WAN components, even if the network is down. The user can obtain status, manage servers, and diagnose problems with the switch, all without shutting down devices. Troubleshooting failures are simplified by built-in data buffers, which save recent RS232 console output from each connected device. The SERIMUX Console Switch eliminates the need to connect each device to a dumb terminal or PC.
Administrators can individually access and configure each port. The switch is controlled via a dumb terminal by menu-driven integrated software, or by the front panel keypad. |
- Remote connectivity via phone line communication using RS232 serial ports and standard external modems (one at local site and one at remote site).
- Provides out-of-band access to network devices (servers, routers, network switches, and any other network devices allowing console operation using RS232).
- Connect up to 32 devices with different baud rates, parity, and character length. Each switch also has one RJ45 connector for the local terminal.
- No inadvertent "break" signals are generated to cause unintentional rebooting of SUN computers.
- Two operator levels (administrator and user).
|
- Enhance security with programmable port-specific passwords and assigned privileges.
- Control is simplified with programmable device names and menu-driven device selection.
- Local commands can be directed via VT52, VT100, ANSI serial console, a PC with a terminal emulation program, or any compliant terminal.
- Switch can be power cycled without halting SUN host computer.
- Gain access to servers without interrupting service to end-users; maintain optimal up-time.
- 1 HE/U or 2 HE/U rackmount case is standard.
