Introduction
Digi CM Model Support
This manual offers information on Digi CM 8-port, 16-port, 32-port, and 48-port
models.
Feature Overview
With Digi CM, administrators can securely monitor and control servers,
routers, switches, 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 CM employs SSHv2 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. It is the first console server to provide a
secure graphical user interface for easy out-of-band management of Microsoft
Windows Server 2003 systems. It 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.
