Types of users supported
Value Line Console Servers support two classes of users:
• Administrative users, who are authorized to configure and
control the console server, and to access and control all the
connected devices. An administrator can access and control the
console server using the config utility, the Linux command line,
or the browser-based management console. By default, the
administrator has access to all services and por ts to control all
serial connected devices and network-connected devices ( hosts).
•Membersoftheusers group, who are only authorized to
perform specified controls on specific connected devices. When
authorized, they can access serial or network devices and control
these devices using the specified ser vices, for example, Telnet,
HTTP S, RDP, IPMI, Serial over LAN (SoL), power control. An
authorized user also has a limited view of the management
console and can only access authorized configured devices
and review port logs.
Supports GNU bash shell script.
Some produc ts in today’s market use proprietary protocols for
communications. In contrast, Value Line Console Ser vers give you access
to the Linux core, including bash. This makes them ideal for industrial
control applications where you need to remotely manage proprietary
equipment with custom protocols.
Through the Linux kernel, you can write custom scripts that can run
manually or automatically. This way, you proactively create self-healing
solutions for cycling power on a router or switch on PING failure.
You can write custom scripts so they run each time a par ticular alert
triggers. For example, you can set it up to power cycle on a managed
device when a specific alert event occurs or to send multiple notification
e-mails when an alert triggers.
MORE APPLICATIONS
In branch offices, use Value Line Console Servers to:
» Simplify the control of distributed office server
rooms or wiring closets containing ser vers, UPSs,
PDUs, and net work devices.
» Set up a centralized in-band and out-of-band
management gateway for local and remote serial
port management—especially for satellite offices
with little or no IT staff on-site.
» Ensure maximum system uptime for sales offices,
the customer-facing points crucial to the bottom
line of many business enterprises.
» Give off-site techs 24/7 access to integrated small
business server applications, those that branch
offices often depend on for e-mail, printing, file
storage, Web access, and more.
In smaller service provider applications, use them to:
» Better serve the IT needs of clients in different
offices by keeping servers and equipment up and
running on a continuous basis.
» Support new services while at the same time
reducing the need for on-site service calls and
increasing profitability.
» Avoid the need for numerous high-priced
management devices (dedicated power switch
controllers, service processor management units,
KVMoIP switches, etc.) at the client site.
» Proactively diagnose client-side equipment
problems, setting up notification alarms and alerts
to notify you of pending IT disasters.
