Secure console server

The TSM series serial console servers provide secure remote access to RS232 console ports on servers, routers, switches, firewalls and other network elements. This allows system administrators to manage and troubleshoot network devices remotely.

The server can also monitor network equipment, constantly watching for significant changes then notifying network managers via SNMP trap or email when high temperature readings, full port buffers, invalid access attempts and other events are detected.

The series provides 8, 24 or 40 RJ45 RS232 serial ports that can be individually accessed by number, name or group. The devices also allow direct connections using TCP port assignments. Each serial port can be separately configured using simple menu-driven commands to set the port password, data rates, flow control and other operating parameters.

The full matrix capability of the server allows any two ports on the switch to be connected, even when the ports are using different communications settings.

Four levels of security are provided: Administrator, SuperUser, User and ViewOnly. An invalid access lockout feature provides additional security.

Both 240 VAC and -48 VDC 8-, 24- and 40-port models are available.
