Introduction

Overview of Main Features

Out-of-Band Remote Management
Out-of-band remote management uses a secondary communications channel, typically a
pair of dial-up modems, to connect to the management ports of remote equipment and to
control outlets that supply power to the remote equipment. With one USR4204 a single
channel can control up to four management ports and two power ports. The USR4204 allows
a remote manager to select and control ports via a simple menu-driven interface.
Security
The USR4204 allows for one administrator and fifteen user accounts. The administrator can
create, delete, or edit user accounts, and has access to all USR4204 configuration menus.
The administrator can also assign access privileges for individual ports to each user. To
deter unauthorized access the USR4204 is configured to lockout user or administrator
accounts and display a security notification to users and the administrator in the event of
three consecutive failed attempts to log in as a user or administrator.
