Secure Serial Console ManagementIOLAN SCS Console Servers enable administrators to securely access remote serial console ports on equipmentsuch as PBX. servers. routers. network storage equipment and security appliances through an IP network. Datamanagement information is protected through standard encryption tools such as Secure Shell (SSH) and SecureSockets Layer (SSL). Access by authorized users is assured via authentication schemes such as RADIUS.TACACS+. LDAP. Kerberos. NIS and RSA Security’s SecurID tokens.By using encryption technologies. an IOLAN Console Server protects sensitive and confidential data before beingsent across a corporate Intranet or public Internet. For compatibility with peer encryption devices. all of the majorencryption ciphers such as AES. 3DES. RC4. RC2 and CAST128 are fully supported.Recognized as the most secure method for communicating to remote private networks over the Internet. the IPSecstandard provides robust authentication and encryption of IP packets at the network layer of the OSI model. As astandard it is ideal for multi-vendor interoperation within a network. providing flexibility and the ability to match theright solution for a particular application.High Availability AccessThe IOLAN SCS has built-in fault tolerant capabilities to ensure secure and reliable access for managing importantmission critical equipment. Dual Ethernet interfaces on the IOLAN SCS provide redundant network paths while dualAC power supply models ensure that console management is available even if the primary AC power source fails.For remote administrators that require access from home. on the road or in the event of a total network failure. anoptional IOLAN V.92 modem card delivers a solid. integrated solution with direct phone line attachment via itsonboard RJ11 jack.Protection against electrostatic discharges and power surges is provided with robust 15Kv ESD protection circuitryon each serial portAdvanced IP TechnologyWith support for Next Generation IP (IPv6) the IOLAN range provides organizations with investment protection tomeet this rapidly growing standard.Demand for IPv6. which is compatible with IPv4 addressing schemes. is driven by the need for more IP address.With the implementation and rollout of 3G cellular networks. a robust method is needed to handle the huge influx ofnew IP addressable devices on the Internet. In fact. the US Department of Defense has mandated that allequipment purchased from 2005 be IPv6 compatible with full implementation by 2008. In addition. all majorOperating Systems such as Windows. Linux. Unix and Solaris. as well as routers. have built-in support for IPv6.It is therefore important for end users and integrators to select networking equipment that incorporates the IPv6standard. The IOLAN line with support for IPv6 already built in. is the best choice in serial to Ethernet technology.Lifetime WarrantyAll Perle IOLAN SCS models are backed by the best service and support in the industry including Perle’s uniquelifetime warranty. Since 1976 Perle has been providing its customers with networking products that have the highestlevels of performance. flexibility and quality.
