Cyclades Combo
Introducing the PM8 to the Cyclades' TS1000 could not have been easier, and the overall combined functionality was impressive. Getting the TS1000 on the wire was a piece of cake, and its encryption-enabled Web interface opens up a wealth of security options, while providing a common interface for the terminal server as well as connected devices, including the PM8.
Telnet and SSH (Secure Shell) provide the same functionality in a command-line interface format, and secure out-of-band management is possible as part of the
larger treasure chest of capabilities the integrated solution provides. Once the PM8 and server are connected, the PM8 configuration becomes a part of the overall management profile, accessed via the terminal server's various points of entry. The device sends out an audible alarm warning local users that the device has been accessed remotely, which prevents local administrators and remote users from stepping on each other's toes. Other alarms during fault and security instances include SNMP trap and e-mail notifications.
