Features

In-Band Management

A method of accessing (network firewalls, routers, switches, servers, storage, CCTV, desktops or any IP configured device) by security technicians to configure and manage these devices through your regular network connection such as LAN or WAN.A method of accessing (network firewalls, routers, switches, servers, storage, CCTV, desktops or any IP configured device) by security technicians to configure and manage these devices through your regular network connection such as LAN or WAN.

When your network is down or severely degraded, in-band management however could be of a little help, and you, as an administrator, might have no other choice but make a trip to you data center, unless there is an out-of-band network that has been previously setup

Out-of-Band Management

A method of accessing (network firewalls, routers, switches, servers, storage, CCTV, desktops or any IP configured device) by security technicians to configure and manage these devices through your non regular network connection such as Cellular (LTE or 4G or 3G) or legacy dial-up modems (V-92).

Localized Environmental Monitoring (Sensors)

Environmental monitoring sensors can be supplied and connected directly to each rack and connect them with Console Access Server for localized rack environmental monitoring and get direct alerts via SMS, Email or on Dashboard. Add another layer of localized rack environment monitoring at minimal cost:

  • 1. Humidity Sensor
  • 2. Heat Sensor
  • 3. Rack Door Open/Close Sensor
  • 4. Water Leakage Sensor
  • 5. Smoke Alarm Sensor
  • 6. Window Vibration Sensor
  • 7. Motion Sensor
