Secure encrypted console manager with built-in reboot switch and modem

The RSM-8R4-CE Console Management Switch is suitable for Remote Network Management. It provides eight RS232 ports to access equipment console ports, four power outlets to perform remote power control plus an internal modem with dial-back features for secure out-of-band access.

System administrators can access the RSM-8R4-CE via a HTTPS/SSL Secure Web Browser, SSHv2 Encrypted Telnet, directly using the local terminal port or out-of-band via the internal modem.

The serial ports can be separately configured using simple menu-driven commands to set the port passwords, communication and operating parameters. Full matrix capability allows any two ports on the switch to be connected. Individual ports can also capture and store incoming data, such as error and status messages. Each power outlet can be switched on, off or re-booted. Power-up and wait duration times can be defined for power sequencing applications.

It supports address-specific IP security masks preventing unauthorised access to command and configuration functions as well as Supervisor level and restricted Non-Supervisor level user names and passwords.
