Once a user is timed out for inactivity, a user defined "logoff"
command can be sent to the target. Improved security of user
sessions results as serial sessions are automatically closed upon
time out and not left open for possible un-authorized access.

Management

Detection

to the PDU. Remote power control can be done via the SX II GUI,
SSH/Telnet Client or CommandCenter. Outlet associations can be
created for serial devices with multiple power supplies, such that
these outlets can be controlled with a single power command. The
SX II has "Control P" style menu commands for power control
available during a serial session.
