04014156 - 32x RS232 serial ports, RJ45 ports 1U rack mount Console Server

The Perle CS9000 Console Server offers network managers a reliable and cost-effective solution to remotely manage and troubleshoot distributed server farms/racks and network appliances (routers, RAS etc). By connecting the console management ports on these network devices to the serial ports on the Perle CS9000 Console Server they can be managed in band or out of band via a corporate LAN/WAN or dial-in connection. Since an administrator can connect anytime from anywhere, they save significant amounts of time and reduce overall costs by keeping system disruption to a minimum. With the provision of local or secure remote port buffers, data generated by attached devices while unattended can also be viewed anytime from anywhere to aid in problem diagnosis. The Perle CS9000 provides a comprehensive suite of security features that allow organisations to implement robust security planning and prevent unauthorized access. The CS9000 comes configurable for SSHv1 or SSHv2 for data encryption. Other security features include packet filtering, support for RADIUS authentication and the ability to disable unwanted daemons such as Telnet and http. A wide array of software tools allow the Perle CS9000 to be configured, managed and flash upgraded either locally or remotely over the network or via the Internet. Command line and menu interfaces are also included, as is a separate local management port. In addition, industry standard control and management facilities are supported – SNMP, BOOTP, DHCP and DNS.
