Avocent Cyclades CS4008 User manual

Cyclades®Console Servers
Securely consolidate all serial port access via a single interface
Securely Access Any Serial Device From Any Location
Cyclades Console Servers include security options for verifying users such as RADIUS, active
directory and LDAP. Security benefits also include separate authentication to access the
console server and individual ports. Available in 8- and 16-port models, the Cyclades CS4008
and CS4016 Console Servers let you consolidate access to serial devices with a single interface.
Consolidated access to serial devices such as servers, routers, switches and serial power
devices eases management complexities in SMB environments, including server rooms
and midsize data centers. The Cyclades appliances simplify access to serial devices with
convenient management over an IP network via an onboard Web interface, at the rack
through the local console port or dial-up with an external modem. A configuration wizard for
first-time users eases installation.
Using a Linux-based operating system, this solution includes a command line interface
(Linux Shell) that increases manageability. Cyclades Console Servers also support console
management options such as Sun break-safe, break-over SSH support, offline data buffering,
unlimited number of simultaneous sessions, simultaneous access on the same port (port
sniffing) and event notification (email, pager and SNMP traps).
