Advanced security features include password protection –
whereby a valid username and password must be given
before the client software will run – and advanced
encryption technologies, such as secure 128-bit SSL and
RSA 1024-bit certificates.
Flexible encryption design allows users to choose any
combination of 56-bit DES, 168-bit 3DES, 256-bit AES,
128-bit RC4, or Random for independent keyboard/
mouse/video and virtual media data encryption.
Support for IP/MAC Filter
Supports strong password protection
Private CA
In addition to its own security protection, the CN8600 allows
you to set up log in authentication and authorization
management from external sources such as RADIUS,
LDAP, LDAPS, and MS Active Directory.
The CN8600 supports up to 64 user accounts, and allows
up to 32 concurrent user logins for single-bus access.
The CN8600 allows multiple users to gain access to a
server simultaneously.
Serial console management – serial terminal access.
Access the server connected to CN8600 via a built-in
serial viewer, or via third party software (such as PuTTY)
for Telnet and SSH sessions.
Out of Band Support – via dial up modem support.
Access the CN8600 through its RS-232 port using a dial-
up connection.
A message board – similar to an Internet chat program –
allows users to communicate with each other, and provides
mechanisms for a user to take exclusive control of the KVM
functions.
Record the events that take place on the CN8600 and write
them to the log server. Administrators and users can search
for events containing specific words or strings and retrieve
them according to date and order of significance.
No need to add yet another cable to your installation – stay
current with the latest functionality improvements and
updates, all over the Internet.
