NTI SERIMUX 8 Port Console Serial Switch

The NTI SERIMUX¨ SE-RS-8 is an 8 port Console Serial Port Switch which gives IT managers the ability to manage serial devices, including servers, switches, routers, and telecom gear. This 8 port console switch is controlled via an ASCII terminal with menu-driven integrated software, or by the front panel keypad.

NTI Console Switch Features:

• Eliminates the need to connect each device to an ASCII terminal or PC.
• Connect up to 8 devices with different baud rates, parity, and character length. Each switch also has one RJ45 connector for the local terminal.
• Provides out-of-band access to network devices (servers, routers, network switches, and any other network devices allowing console operation using RS232).
• No inadvertent "break" signals are generated to cause unintentional rebooting of SUN computers.
• Available with an optional 48V DC-DC power converter for telecom environments. (PWR-48V-12V1,6A DC-DC power converter sold separately)
• Connects to console serial ports using standard CAT5/5e/6 cables and cable adapters. Maximum cable length is 100 feet.
• Two operator levels (administrator and user).
• Switching is simplified with programmable device names and menu-driven device selection
• Built-in data buffers save the most RS232 console output from each connected device, which simplifies troubleshooting failures.
• Local commands can be directed via VT52, VT100, ANSI serial console, a PC with a terminal emulation program, or any compliant terminal.
• The Switch can be power cycled without halting SUN host computer.
• Gain access to servers without interrupting service to end-users; maintain optimal up-time.
• Manage server farms or data centers via serial ports and standard external modems.
• 1RU rackmount case is standard.
• Included Adapters:
  • DB-25F to RJ45 console adapter
  • DB-9F to RJ45 console adapter
  • DB-25M to RJ45 console adapter
