• Connects up to 16 serial devices, including servers, switches, routers, and telecom gear.
• Provides out-of-band access to network devices (servers, routers, network switches, and any other network devices allowing console operation using RS232).
• Power cycle without halting SUN host computer.
• No inadvertent "break" signals are generated to cause unintentional rebooting of SUN computers.
• 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.
  • All configuration parameters are stored in non-volatile EEPROM.
• Built-in data buffers save the most RS232 console output from each connected device, which simplifies troubleshooting failures.
• 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.
• Supports parallel and RS232 serial printers
• Printer server capability.
• Converts the RS232 port of a serial device to PS/2 keyboard and VGA ports so the device can be operated by an NTI KVM switch.
• ASCII text is displayed on the VGA monitor.
• Supports color display functions in 80 and 132 column mode.
• 1RU rackmount case is standard.
