Dual 10/100/1000 Secure Console Servers enable you to use your Ethernet network to securely access remote serial console ports on equipment such as PBXs, servers, routers, or network storage equipment. Dual Gigabit Ethernet ports provide network redundancy for mission-critical applications. Plus, optional dual power inputs enable you to provide a secondary power source for increased uptime.
The servers protect sensitive data from serial devices such as credit card readers through encryption with Secure Shell (SSH) and Secure Sockets Layer (SSL). The console servers also support all major encryption ciphers such as AES, 3DES, RC4, RC2, and CAST128. User authentication through RADIUS, TACACS+, LDAP, Kerberos, NIS, and RSA Security's SecurID tokens ensures that only authorized users can access the system.
The integrated hardware encryption processor performs encryption and decryption at many times the speed of software encryption and frees the main processor to convert Ethernet and serial signals.
Secure Console Servers support Next Generation IP (IPv6), making them compatible with networks that have upgraded to this new IP standard. Plus the included COMredirect software provides fixed TTY or COM ports so server-based applications can communicate accurately with serial devices in encrypted or clear text modes. The console servers also support SNMP for integration into managed networks.
Secure Console Servers include Device Manager software to provide central control of multiple terminal servers, so you get maximum uptime for your remote equipment.
