Features & Applications

The SERIMUX® Secure SSH Console Serial Switch delivers secure management of up to 32 serial devices via the internet, TCP/IP network, or dial-up modem connections. It combines the advanced security of Secure Shell v2 with unlimited access to remote network management.
  • Operates on an embedded Linux Kernel.
  • Connect up to 32 devices with different baud rates, parity, and character length. Each switch also has one RJ45 connector for a local terminal.
  • Eliminates the need to connect each device to an ASCII terminal or PC.
  • Provides out-of-band access to network devices (servers, routers, network switches, and any other network devices allowing console operation using RS232).
  • Connects to console serial ports using standard CAT5/5e/6 cables and cable adapters.
    • Maximum cable length is 304.8 meters.
  • Dual Ethernet and optional dual power provide redundant connectivity and power.
  • USB port provides expanded logging storage, configuration export and additional functionality.
  • Dual power option creates a redundant power system protecting the console switch from any power failure issues.
  • High quality, rugged steel construction with durable powder coat finish.
  • Gain access to servers without interrupting service to end-users; maintain optimal up-time.
  • Monitor environmental conditions.
    • Supports two sensors, including: temperature, humidity, and water detection.
    • When a sensor goes out of range of a configurable threshold, the system will notify you via email, LEDs, web page, and network management (SNMP).
  • Power cycle without halting SUN host computer.
    • No inadvertent "break" signals are generated to cause unintentional rebooting of SUN computers.
  • Powerful diagnostic and event management features (data capture, notification and scripting) assist in the quick location of the source of equipment failures and minimize downtime.
  • Enhanced security features to protect the system-Secure Shell (SSH v2), individual port authentication, HTTPS.
  • Switching is simplified with programmable device names and menu-driven device selection.
    • All configuration parameters are stored in non-volatile memory.
    • Configuration parameters can be imported from USB Flash drive.
  • Firmware upgradeable "in-field" through console port, Ethernet, or an attached USB Flash drive.
  • 1RU case is standard. Includes rack mounting kit.
