When a network element at a remote installations site malfunctions, the last thing you want to do is send your IT support team off on an expensive, time consuming trip to visit the site in person. Not only are truck rolls and service calls often a waste of time and money, but if your remote [...]
In most out of band management applications, a console server or similar device is used to provide access to command functions on remote network devices. Although this provides network administrators with a powerful tool for dealing with problems at remote sites after something has gone wrong, it sometimes doesn’t address the need to know about [...]
Adding an out of band management solution to an existing remote network equipment installation doesn’t necessarily mean that you need to re-cable an entire equipment rack in order to provide compatibility with a newer out of band management unit. In order to simplify the process of adding out of band management capabilities to an existing [...]
In many out of band management applications, either the location of the equipment site or economical considerations make it impractical to include a secondary/maintenance network for out of band access. In cases like this, communication via dial-up modem often provides the only available means to access remote network devices. Although dial-up communication provides a viable [...]
There are many situations where a DC powered out of band management unit provides the only viable solution for out of band access to console port command functions on remote network elements. In some cases, a remote network equipment site might be located so far away from civilization that AC power is not available. In [...]

These days, it’s hard to imagine any kind of large business that doesn’t rely on network communication to one extent or another. In fact, most companies are so reliant on their networks, that when the network crashes or is unavailable, the whole company comes to a grinding halt; orders can’t be processed, stock can’t be [...]
Sometimes, when a remote network device crashes or ceases to respond, all work suddenly comes to a grinding halt. Users who depend on a remote server, router or firewall can’t work on important projects, and there’s nothing to do but wait until the service team travels to the remote site and gets that device back [...]
When designing a remote network equipment installation, one of the first considerations that is often made is whether the site will run on AC power or DC Power.
