This manual offers information on the Digi CM 4-port, 8-port, 16-port, 32-port, and 48-port models.
Feature overview
With the Digi CM unit, administrators can securely monitor and control servers,
routers, switches, and other network devices from anywhere on the corporate TCP/IP network, over
the Internet, or through dial-up modem connections, even when the server is unavailable through
the network.
The Digi CM unit employs SSHv2 encryption, to keep server access passwords safe from hackers,
and supports all popular SSH clients, as well as secure access from any Java-enabled browser. It is
the first console server to provide a secure graphical user interface for easy out-of-band
management of Microsoft Windows Server 2003 systems. It connects to serial console ports using
standard CAT5 cables, eliminating the hassles of custom cabling. In addition, the Digi CM unit offers
a PCMCIA card slot, for adding dialup modems or wireless network cards. Flash memory cards can
be used to save port logs and backup configuration files.
The Digi CM unit is available in 8-, 16-, 32- and 48-port models, in a 1U rackmount form factor.
