Powerful Customization Capabilities

Tailor the Remote Console Switch Software to fit your specific system needs.
Take advantage of built-in groups or create your own. Customize unit and
field names, and icons for maximum flexibility and convenience. Using
names that are meaningful to you makes it easy to quickly find any system
unit.

Extensive Remote Console Switch Management

The Remote Console Switch Software allows you to add and manage multiple
switches in one system. Once a new switch is installed, you can configure
switch parameters, control and preempt user video sessions, and execute
numerous control functions, such as rebooting and upgrading your switch.
The Remote Console Switch Software is designed to be compatible with the
Dell OpenManage™ IT Assistant Event Viewer, allowing system
administrators to consolidate system event reports.

IPv4 and IPv6 Capabilities

The Remote Console Switch is compatible with systems using either of the
currently used Internet Protocol Versions, IPv4 and IPv6. You can change the
network settings and choose either IPv4 or IPv6 mode via the serial port,
OSCAR interface, or on-board web interface.

LDAP

The Dell Remote Console Switch Software allows permissions for multiple
Remote Console Switches to be managed through a single interface rather
than individually on each Remote Console Switch. For increased security and
efficiency, the LDAP feature eliminates the need to update access
permissions in individual Remote Console Switches by drawing permissions
from a single network-wide authentication source.
The Dell Remote Console Switches can authenticate using the standard
Active Directory schema, or the Dell Extended Schema in order to maximize
compatibility with all of your Dell hardware.

Interoperability with Avocent Products

The Remote Console Switch Software can also be used to manage some
Avocent switches allowing increased flexibility in the management of syste
ms.
