Aten SN9116CO 16-Port Serial Console Server

Overview

ATEN launches a new generation of Serial Console Servers, the SN91xxCO Series (SN9108CO / SN9116CO). With single power / LAN in the SN91xxCO models, they integrate cutting edge technologies to provide convenient installation, secure serial device access, easy management and comprehensive control for data centers.

Implemented with various security technologies such as TLS 1.2 data encryption, RSA 2048-bit certificates, configurable user permissions for port access and control, local/remote/third-party authentication and authorization, IP/MAC address filter, and FIPS 140-2 certified cryptography, the SN91xxCO serial console servers assure administrators the security for easy and high-level access. For instance, access rights and privileges can be applied to 8/16 serial ports individually. Data encryption is provided to ensure that information and control are always protected. Logging and alerting of system events help to quickly resolve issues and mitigate risks. While secured by the above examples, the consolidated password authentication simplifies management.

The SN91xxCO Series is used to connect serial devices to an Ethernet network to allow access and control of demanding applications that manage industrial control, data acquisition, environment monitoring, remote facility operations and equipment management. Multiple operational modes are available to administrators including Console Management, Console Management Direct, Real COM Port, TCP Server/Client, UDP Server/Client, and Virtual Modem.

With its comprehensive features, the SN91xxCO Series helps to maximize IT productivity, increase scalability, as well as reduce installation and operational costs with easy and secure remote management of serial devices. The serial console servers save you time and money by allowing administrators to manage their data centers from practically anywhere – minimizing travel and MTTR (Mean Time to Repair) costs, ensuring the highest availability for data center services.

Serial Console Management

• Auto-sensing DTE/DCE feature supports a direct connection to Cisco network switches (and other compatible devices) without rollover cables for more convenient IT infrastructure deployment
• Online/Offline detection of connected serial devices (including terminal blocks) – automatically send event notifications when the devices are offline (e.g. power failure) for device status monitoring
• Response Check ? checks the system status of the connected serial devices, and sends a notification if the check fails (e.g. system crash)
• Convenient and simple serial device access via selectable Telnet/SSH and third-party clients such as PuTTY
• Easy port access via selectable ActiveX or Java serial viewer
• Comprehensive viewer functions – copy/paste, logging, data import, macros, broadcasting and message board
• Sun Solaris ready – Sun “break-safe”
• Alert Strings – whenever one of the pre-defined strings matches the message sent from the serial devices, you will be informed by serial console server via SNMP Trap alert and/or an email
• Command filter – administrators can restrict users to execute only pre-defined commands
• Multiple users can simultaneously access the same port – up to 16 connections per port
• Modes for simultaneous access – Exclusive/Occupy/Share
