NTI Console Serial Port Switch w/ Manageability up to 16 Devices

SERIMUX-CS-16 Features

• Eliminates the need to connect each device to an ASCII terminal or PC.
• Connect up to 16 devices with different baud rates, parity, and character length. Each switch also has one RJ45 connector for a local terminal.
• Provides out-of-band access to network devices (servers, routers, network switches, and any other network devices allowing console operation using RS232).
• Power cycle without halting SUN host computer.
      -No inadvertent "break" signals are generated to cause unintentional rebooting of SUN computers.
• Dual power option creates a redundant power system protecting the console switch from any power failure issues.
• High quality, rugged steel construction with durable powder coat finish. Connects to console serial ports using standard CAT5/5e/6 cables and cable adapters.
      -Maximum cable length is 100 feet.
• Two operator levels (administrator and user).
• Switching is simplified with programmable device names and menu-driven device selection.
      -All configuration parameters are stored in non-volatile EEPROM.
• Built-in data buffers save the most recent RS232 console output from each connected device, which simplifies troubleshooting failures.
• Local commands can be directed via VT52, VT100, ANSI serial console, a PC with a terminal emulation program, or any compliant terminal.
• Gain access to servers without interrupting service to end-users; maintain optimal up-time.
• Manage server farms or data centers via serial ports and standard external modems or through optional Ethernet interface using Telnet or Web interface.
• 1RU rackmount case is standard.
