Lantronix Secure Console Servers provide unlimited access to remote network and telecom equipment, helping you maintain optimum system performance and availability. Using your existing IP network or a single modem connection, Secure Console Servers provide remote access to data and voice equipment. All that is required is an available console or serial port (RS-232, RS-423) on your equipment. Secure Console Servers are a flexible and powerful tool to manage devices such as: hubs, switches, routers, servers, UPS systems, PBX systems, and telecom switches. Using In-Band management, you can manage your equipment over the network, from virtually any place you have access, using familiar tools like Telnet or Secure Shell (SSH). Even if the network is down, Secure Console Servers have an Out-of-Band management feature that allows dial-in access through a modem connection. Where multiple pieces of equipment are installed, modem sharing allows you to realize a significant savings in installation and monthly operating costs. Secure Console Servers ensure the integrity of your equipment and data through several measures. Authentication limits access to authorized users only, using usernames and passwords, modem dial-back, PAP/CHAP, Radius, Kerberos and SecurID. Authorization restricts access to equipment and services, based on stored user profiles. Secure Shell (SSH) safeguards login passwords and in-transit data through strong encryption.
