EMG™ Edge Management Gateway User Guide 30
System Features
This section describes the system features for the EMG edge management gateway. Most
features are common to both EMG 8500 and EMG 7500, however, differences between the two
models are noted.
Access Control
The system administrator controls access to attached servers or devices by assigning access
rights to up to 128 user profiles. Each user has an assigned ID, password, and access rights.
Other user profile access options may include externally configured authentication methods such
as Radius, , NIS, and LDAP. Groups are supported in LDAP, RADIUS (using VSA), and
(using priv_lvl).
Device Port Buffer
The EMG unit supports real-time data logging for each device port. The port can save the data log
to a file, send an email notification of an issue, or take no action.
You can define the path for logged data on a port-by-port basis, configure file size and number of
files per port for each logging event, and configure the device log to send an email alert message
automatically to the appropriate parties indicating a particular error.
Console Port Interface
The EMG unit supports local access through a dedicated front panel serial console port. The
console port supports the RS-232C (EIA-232) standard. RJ45 cabling (e.g., category 5 or 6 patch
cabling) is used.
Figure 2-8 shows the Console port pinout and description.
The console port supports the following baud rate options: 300, 600, 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600,
19200, 38400, 57600, 115200, 230400, 460800, and 921600 baud.
