Overview

The Digi CM provides in-band or out-of-band console management of any network equipment with a serial console port. Remote out-of-band management is made easy for administrators, who can securely monitor and control servers, routers, switches, PBXs, firewalls and other network devices from anywhere on the corporate TCP/IP network, over the Internet, or through dial-up modem connections using Digi's best-in-class integrated web user interface.

Digi CM is the first console server to provide a secure Graphical User Interface (GUI) for easy out-of-band management of Microsoft Windows Server 2003 systems. Its freeKVM feature enables fast, low-bandwidth remote desktop access to perform application level tasks via RDP and VNC.

Digi's Automatic Device Recognition feature is a first-of-its-kind, intelligent technology that automatically detects equipment attached to the Digi CM. This makes the setup, configuration and management of console servers easier by automatically displaying the name of connected devices and by providing alerts when a device goes away for any reason, a valuable feature for remote server management.

The Digi CM is a secure console management device, employing SSH v2 encryption to keep server access passwords safe from hackers and supporting all popular SSH clients, as well as secure access from any Java-enabled browser.

Serial console connections are made using standard CAT5 cables, eliminating the hassles of custom cabling. In addition, the Digi CM offers a PCMCIA card slot which accepts dial-up modems for remote access and flash memory cards to save port logs and backup configuration files.

The Digi CM is available in eight-, 16-, 32- and 48-port models, in a 1U rack-mount form factor. DC powered versions with dual inputs are available in 16-, 32- and 48- port models. A dual AC powered version is available in a 48-port model.
