Features & Applications

The Secure SSH Console Serial Switch delivers secure management of up to 32 serial devices via the internet, TCP/IP network, or dial-up modem connections. It combines the advanced security of Secure Shell v2 with unlimited access to remote network management.
  • Supports embedded server management technologies including Intelligent Platform Management Interface (IPMI), Dell Remote Access Cards (DRAC) and HP Integrated Lights Out (iLO).
  • IPv4/IPv6 dual protocol stack provides flexible networking support for devices operating in today's IPv4 based networks and compatibility with future upgrades to IPv6 environments.
  • Supports Perl language for customizable log searching and event notification.
  • Dual Ethernet and optional dual power provide redundant connectivity and power.
  • USB port and PC Card slot provide expanded logging storage, automatic configuration and additional functionality.
  • Enhanced WebUI (User Interface) provides visibility to all ports on one screen, with point and click capability.
  • 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.
  • Supports Windows Server 2003 Emergency Management Services - helps IT/Telco administrators perform emergency recovery tasks when the server is not accessible through the network.
  • Enhanced security features to protect the system-Secure Shell (SSH v2), individual port authentication, IP filtering, HTTPS.
  • Supports secure clustering of up to 16 slave units. Allows encrypted access of up to 512 devices connected to multiple master or slave switches.
  • Sun Solaris ready for easy installation, use and interoperability with a Sun network computing environment.
  • 1RU case is standard. Includes rack mounting kit.
