Today, data centers can be found at installation sites located all over the world. Unfortunately, many of those sites are in remote locations, where network connections and cable internet aren’t readily available. This is not always the case, but you don’t have to search far to see that there are also plenty of data centers [...]
The Static Route feature, which is available on WTI console switch products, provides a very useful tool to help you establish communication with your rack mount devices in the event that your primary network is unavailable. Static routing allows the user to predefine an alternate route by which alarms, SNMP traps and ping response tests [...]
If you’ve spent much time researching out-of-band network management solutions, it quickly becomes apparent that most console server and serial switch products include the ability to generate alarms when specific environmental conditions, command events and device conditions are detected. Obviously, environmental alarms and event alarms are an important capability for any out-of-band management solution, but [...]
Remote network management products can be a wonderful thing … as long as they’re working properly when you need them! WTI takes great care to ensure that every product that leaves our facility has been intelligently designed, expertly manufactured and thoroughly tested, but even top-of-the-line equipment can eventually fail or need service some time.

WTI’s TSM and RSM series console servers both feature three different types of event logs: the audit log, the alarm log and the temperature log. Each of these three logs is used for a different purpose, allowing you to review recent events and activity at your serial console server. The data in these logs can [...]
WTI’s TSM and RSM serial console server products both include a “Direct Connect” feature, which allows you to create an IP connection to an attached device, bypassing the console sever command interface. The Direct Connect feature allows you to initiate a Telnet, SSH or Raw Socket session with the serial console server and make an [...]
A console server that provides secure, remote access is key element in managing your network efficiently and effectively. What happens, though, when the router goes down and the console port cannot be accessed via IP? If your serial console server includes outbound SSH or outbound Telnet capabilities this provides yet another way to maximize up-time [...]
SNMP MIB support is a crucial element for console server applications. MIB support enables the console server to address and interpret commands given by third party software such as Openview or Solaris. This allows the unit to receive and understand commands issued by third party software. Ideally, a serial console server should also include a [...]
