CN2510 Series
Features
8 and 16-port RS-232 Terminal Servers
For most companies, the performance of IT equipment is critical 
to daily operation. To keep a server, router, PBX, or leased-line 
modem working properly, it is important to minimize downtime 
and troubleshoot faulty devices quickly. KVM is commonly used for 
in-band management of devices that are equipped with a screen and 
keyboard. However, RS-232 console access is often used as a last 
resort for all devices.
The CN2510 provides an easy console management solution in a 
convenient 1U rackmount package. With its RS-232 ports, connections 
are easily established to the console ports of network equipment, such 
as Unix servers or routers, for centralized management of the attached 
devices. Each device's RS-232 console port becomes a network-
accessible node, giving users Telnet access from anywhere on the 
network for configuration and management of the device. Full modem 
control signals are supported, ensuring compatibility with a wide 
range of serial peripherals.
Remote Console Management 
User Authentication
It is very important that access is strictly controlled in a console 
management solution, and user privileges should be validated before 
a console port connection is allowed. The CN2510's authentication 
procedure involves verifying the username and password against an 
internal database or a RADIUS server.
Dial-back
When a dial-up connection is used for out-of-band management, the 
CN2510 provides a convenient dial-back function. Instead of accepting 
a connection request directly, the CN2510 calls back the management 
host to establish the connection. The dial-back function helps ensure 
that only registered users or hosts can remotely connect to the 
network through the CN2510. It also helps consolidate long distance 
phone costs.
