Out-of-Band Management (OOBM)

Using the ES Series device's serial port to connect to the console port of the
router, IT administrators can troubleshoot and repair network equipment over
wireless wide area networks (WANs). This terminal server capability allows
operation centers to remotely reboot, configure, and update the BIOS of a router
via the ES Series enterprise gateway using Reverse Telnet and SSH protocols.
As a result, remote personnel no longer need to manually reset their networking
equipment and IT administrators can dramatically reduce the number of field
visits.
