SERIMUX-TERM-CS-8

8 serial port console switch with terminal converter

FEATURES & APPLICATIONS

The SERIMUX® Console Switch with Terminal Converter combines an ASCII terminal emulator and a console switch and is operated by a PS/2 keyboard and VGA Monitor. The SERIMUX-TERM-CS-16 can be used to to control up to 16 serial devices. The console switch uses menu-driven integrated software. The terminal converter can easily be configured for either RS232-Device control or Telnet communication modes.
  • Connects up to 16 serial devices, including servers, switches, routers, and telecom gear.
  • 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.
  • 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 RS232 console output from each connected device, which simplifies troubleshooting failures.
  • 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.
  • Supports parallel and RS232 serial printers
  • Printer server capability.
  • Converts the RS232 port of a serial device to PS/2 keyboard and VGA ports so the device can be operated by an NTI KVM switch.
  • ASCII text is displayed on the VGA monitor.
  • Supports color display functions in 80 and 132 column mode.
  • 1RU rackmount case is standard.
