The Aten Altusen SN0108CO 8-port Serial Console Server switch offers both in-band and out-of-band remote serial console and USB console access to servers and network devices, via a direct Telnet/SSH client or an applet viewer. It features versatile serial operating modes – Console Management, Console Management Direct, Real COM Port, TCP Server/Client, UDP Server/Client, and Virtual Modem. Auto-sensing DTE/DCE feature supports a direct connection to Cisco network switches (and other compatible devices) without rollover cables for more convenient IT infrastructure deployment. The SN0108CO also offers Online/Offline detection of connected serial devices (including terminal blocks) – automatically send event notifications when the devices are offline for device status monitoring.
ATEN SN01xxCO Series (SN0108CO / SN0116CO / SN0132CO / SN0148CO) provides IT and network administrators secure, out-of-band access to serial devices located at data centers or remote sites (such as network switches allowing console operation using RS-232 and USB console1). With dual power / LAN in SN01xxCO models, they integrate cutting edge technologies to provide convenient installation, secure serial device access, easy management and comprehensive control for data centers.
The SN01xxCO Series features Cisco pin-outs and auto-sensing DTE/DCE function, providing a direct connection to Cisco network switches (and other compatible devices) without rollover cables for even more time-saving IT infrastructure deployment. In addition, the SN01xxCO models support online detection of connected serial devices (including terminal blocks) for device status monitoring. An e-mail notification will be sent to the administrator when connected devices are offline.With dual Ethernet ports and power supplies, the SN01xxCO supports power redundancy as well as failover, or dual IP addresses access, ensuring 24/7 availability of access to serial devices. A DC power option is also available for each of the SN01xxCO model for more flexible implementation.2
Available in 8-, 16-, 32- and 48-port models, the SN01xxCO serial console servers offer both in-band and out-of-band (OOB) remote serial console and USB console access to servers and network devices via a direct Telnet / SSH client, Java viewer and WebClient. The serial console servers offer out-of-band access methods such as direct console connection from a local computer, USB console connection from a laptop, PSTN connection via modem, or hybrid network connection via the dual SFP or dual LAN ports (one connected to the production network and the other connected to the management network).
Implemented with various security technologies such as TLS 1.2 data encryption, RSA 2048-bit certificates, configurable user permissions for port access and control, local/remote/third-party authentication and authorization, IP/MAC address filter, and FIPS 140-2 certified cryptography, the SN01xxCO serial console servers assure administrators the security for easy and high-level access. For instance, access rights and privileges can be applied to 8/16/32/48 serial ports individually. Data encryption is provided to ensure that information and control are always protected. Logging and alerting of system events help to quickly resolve issues and mitigate risks. While secured by the above examples, the consolidated password authentication simplifies management.
The SN01xxCO Series is used to connect serial devices to an Ethernet network to allow access and control of demanding applications that manage industrial control, data acquisition, environment monitoring, remote facility operations and equipment management. Multiple operational modes are available to administrators including Console Management, Console Management Direct, Real COM Port, TCP Server/Client, UDP Server/Client, and Virtual Modem. Furthermore, the SN01xxCO Series works in tandem with ATEN’s PDU remote power management systems. Both can be utilized through ATEN’s CC2000 software to provide centralized serial device access and integrated power management.
With its, comprehensive features, the SN01xxCO Series helps to maximize IT productivity, increase scalability, as well as reduce installation and operational costs with easy and secure remote management of serial devices. The serial console servers save you time and money by allowing administrators to manage their data centers from practically anywhere – minimizing travel and MTTR (Mean Time to Repair) costs, ensuring the highest availability for data center services.
