» Serial console management for up to
32 RS-232 devices over an Ethernet, Fast
Ethernet, or Gigabit Ethernet network.
» Dual 10/100/1000 ports give you a redundant
path to serial consoles.
» For redundant, reliable power, order optional
dual power input models.
» Also feature a PCI port—add a V.92 modem
to set up emergency access
in case of complete network failure.
» Secured with 128-, 192- and 256-bit AES, 3DES,
Blowfish, and CAST128, plus ARCFOUR or
ARCTWO data encryption across the LAN via
SSH and SSL.
» Advanced user authentication through RADIUS,
TACACS+, LDAP, Kerberos, NIS, and RSA.
» A number of ways to manage: through an
Ethernet link, a browser, and direct serial
port links.
» Supports e-mail event notification.
» 400-MHz, 750-MIPS, 32-bit processor.
» Sturdy steel chassis is only 1U high
and can be front- or rear-mounted.
» Built-in surge protection on all interfaces.
» Automatically adapt to network speed
on LAN side.
FEATURES
LES8164A
Establish secure and redundant access to remote serial con sole ports
from a mixed-speed Ethernet network with the Dual 10/100/1000 Secure
Console Servers.
These servers make it easy to manage remote serial RS-232
equipment via their serial console ports, whether they’re servers, routers,
firewalls, PBXs, or retail data-acquisition instruments. Any device with a
serial COM port will operate with your desired application just as it did
when you had it directly connected.
The console servers also boast fault-tolerance functions, so you
can establish secure and reliable access to mission-critical equipment.
Dual 10-/100-/1000-Mbps interfaces provide redun dant paths from
your network to the RS-232 console ports. You can even remotely
access console ports from home or the road via an optional V.92
modem (page 9) plugged into the PCI slot on the 10 /100 /1000
Secure Console Servers.
And, for redundant power, you can even order the console servers
with dual AC power supplies. These ensure that you can manage
a console if your primary AC power source fails.
The console servers protect sensitive data management info no
matter the access path. They do this with advanced Secure Shell (SSH)
and Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) encryption and by supporting AES, 3DES,
RC4, RC2, and CAST128 encryption ciphers. User authentication through
RADIUS, TACACS+, LDAP, Kerberos, NIS, and RSA Security’s SecurID
tokens ensures that only authorized users can access the system.
What’s more, the 10/100/1000 Secure Console Servers are Internet
Protocol Version 6 (IPv6) compliant, so you can use them in IPv6
networks with more robust IPsec security and a lot larger IP address
space.
For fully functional Windows based terminal server manage ment,
the included Device Management software enables you to assign IP
addresses, perform firmware updates, view statistics, and more. You
also get a browser-based configuration/management tool and a window-
oriented menu interface, as well as a CLI-based management option.
In addition, the servers support SNMP for integration into managed
networks. Using SNMP, you can remotely configure the servers and
gather statistics.
