How it works

The Digi CM console Management connects to console serial ports of Cisco and Sun devices using standard CAT5 cables. Converter and adaptors are offered to most servers. Users may perform key console management functions and configuration using Digi's Web User Interface built right into the unit. Intuitive port-naming and multi level menuing make the Digi CM the easiest to use console server on the market.

New Feature - Virtual KVM

The CM also supports Virtual KVM, which allows users to take advantage of Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) and Virtual Network Computing (VNC) protocols to have application level control over their servers. This new feature is available in the 1.8 firmware release.

Security SSH v2

The SSH protocol is used for secure communications between computer platforms. SSH uses an encryption technique that does not require the transfer of passwords between accounts. Using a Public Key Infrastructure (PKI), SSH generates and employs a public/private key-pair to identify a user to an account and to allow other users access to the account. Digi CM employs SSH v2 encryption to keep server access passwords safe from intruders, and supports all popular SSH clients.
