Secure network administration

The RMS-8R4-CE is a console management switch, designed for remote network management.

It provides eight RS232 ports for accessing console ports of equipment, as well as four power outlets to perform remote reboot or On/Off control. It also features an internal modem with dial-back features for secure out-of-band access.

System administrators can access the switch via an HTTPS/SSL secure web browser, SSHv2 encrypted telnet or out-of-band via the internal modem or the local terminal port.

The serial ports can be individually accessed by number, name or group. The port password, data rates, flow control and other operating parameters of each port can be separately configured using menu-driven commands.

Address-specific IP security masks prevent unauthorised access to command and configuration functions, and provide two different levels of user security. The Supervisor level, which is intended for use by system managers and other administrators, provides complete access to all port functions, operating features and configuration menus. The Non-Supervisor level is suitable for co-location applications, since users are only permitted to view status and connect to the ports allowed by their user name and password.
