1. Introduction
The CMS-6R4 Console Mana Power Control Switch, is designed for
remote network management installations where rack space is precious and
only a few network elements are in the rack. The CMS-6R4 combines six
RS232 Console ports with four power reboot outlets and an internal 33.6Kbps
Modem all in a 1U package. The CMS-6R4 provides remote access to RS232
console ports and maintenance ports on UNIX servers, routers and other
network equipment, and also allows in-band or out-of-band control of power
switching and reboot operations. System Administrators can access remote
devices in order to change configuration parameters, connect users to restricted
ports, collect buffered data, and perform Power On/Off/Reboot operations and
a variety of other administrative functions.
Security Features and Co-Location Features
In order to protect access to sensitive configuration and operation features, the
CMS-6R4 provides two different levels of password security; the Supervisor
and the Non-Supervisor Level. The Supervisor Level allows access to all
configuration and switching functions, and the Non-Supervisor Level only
allows access to assigned plugs and ports, and cannot be used to change unit
configuration.
Passwords transmitted via web browser use basic 64 bit encryption techniques
to assure that your user-defined passwords remain secret and secure and that
access to your equipment is protected.
In addition to password security features, the CMS-6R4 also includes
an address specific IP security mask, which can be employed to prevent
unauthorized network access to command mode, and an Invalid Access
Lockout feature, which can automatically lock ports if the unit detects a series
of invalid attempts to enter command mode.
Easy to Configure, Easy to Use
The CMS-6R4 can be configured and operated over a TCP/IP network using
standard Telnet or a JavaScript enabled Web Browser, and can also be accessed
via modem, or locally via serial port. Simple, user friendly-commands and
web page menus allow you to assign unit parameters, view status, and initiate
port connections and power switching operations. Outlets and serial ports can
be addressed by number or by user-defined names.
