Serial console-port switches

Serial console-port-switches deliver centralized access and control – either out-of-band or through an IP connection – to multiple serial-based servers and other network infrastructure appliances accessible through serial console ports.

For local, in-house control over network appliances, single-user or 2-user console port switches (such as SERIMUX) offer local or dial-up out-of-band terminal access to multiple RS-232 network devices such as Sun/Unix "headless" servers, routers, power management devices (PDUs), DSU/CSU devices, bridges, PBXs, firewalls and Ethernet switches.

For remote, multi-user control over network appliances, serial over IP technology (with IP-based serial switches such as Dominion SX or CCM) enables IT professionals to conveniently and securely monitor, troubleshoot, configure, and manage all serial equipment in the enterprise – using a LAN, WAN, or Internet connection – from anywhere, anytime.
