DIGI CM 8

The Digi CM is a best of breed console server which provides intelligent, secure, and easy access to any network equipment with a serial console port. With Digi CM, administrators can securely monitor and control servers, routers, switches, PBX, firewalls and other network devices from anywhere on the corporate TCP/IP network, over the Internet, or through dial-up modem connections even when the server is unavailable through the network.

Digi’s Automatic Device Recognition feature is a first-of-its-kind, intelligent technology that automatically detects equipment attached to the Digi CM. This makes the setup, configuration and management of console servers easier by automatically displaying the name of connected devices.

Digi CM employs SSH v2 encryption to keep server access passwords safe from hackers and supports all popular SSH clients, as well as secure access from any Java-enabled browser.

Digi CM is the first console server to provide a secure graphical user interface (GUI) for easy out-of-band management of Microsoft Windows Server 2003 systems.

Digi CM connects to serial console ports using standard CAT5 cables, eliminating the hassles of custom cabling. In addition, the Digi CM offers a PCMCIA card slot for adding dialup modems or wireless network cards. Flash memory cards can be used to save port logs and backup configuration files.

Digi CM is available in 8-, 16-, 32- and 48-port models, in a 1U rack-mount form factor. DC powered versions with dual inputs are available in 16-, 32- and 48- port models. A dual AC powered version is available in a 48-port model.
