MOXA CN2500 Async Server has 4/8/16 RS232 serial ports, providing powerful and versatile solutions to connect async devices to 10/100 Mbps TCP/IP Ethernet hosts. This multifunctional communications server provides several advanced functions, including MOXA ASPP programming tool for cross-platform async device control, Rtelnet for Telnet-based console management, DRDAS (dual-PC redundant data acquisition system), ASCII/Binary terminal connectivity, PPP/LSLIP dial-up with RADIUS user authentication, RIP-1/2 routing capability, Windows NT Real COM port drives, and UNIX fixed tty drivers.
MOXA Async Server has been successfully installed in many different settings. For example:
* Telecom companies use it as an Async Device Server/Console Management Server to connect async-interface equipment.
* Banking and travel reservation systems use it as a Terminal Server to connect terminals to UNIX mainframes.
* Medium size enterprises use it as a Remote Access Server for remote and high mobility work.
* Telecom and Stock Exchange markets use it as a Printer Server, as an integral component of their billing systems.
NPower Commander as Power Switch Server
NPower Commander has the ability to remotely control the power to any unattended device, either via the Internet or from a direct telephone connection.
By cascading up to 16 NPower Commanders together, as many as 128 devices can be controlled from the same Internet or telephone connection.
MOXA CN2500 Async Server as Console Server
CN2500 Async Server's internal firmware provides easy-to-use Telnet utilities that allow system administrators to remotely manage devices via the devices' console port.
No expensive proprietary software is necessary. CN2500 can be used to manage most IT equipment, including routers, servers, and factory floor machines.
Network administrators can use these products to instantly respond to system problems from anywhere in the world, reduce system downtime and efficiently use administrative support personnel.
