With its advanced security features, the CN8000 is the fastest, most reliable,
most cost effective way to remotely access and manage widely distributed
multiple computer installations.
The Administrator and Client software included with the CN8000 make it easy
to install, maintain, and operate. System administrators can handle a multitude
of tasks with ease - from installing and running GUI applications, to BIOS level
troubleshooting, routine monitoring, concurrent maintenance, system
administration, rebooting and even pre-booting functions.
The Administrator Utility is available in a browser-based version as well as
Windows-based and Java application versions. The utility is used to configure
the system; limit access from remote computers; manage users; and maintain
the system with firmware and software module updates.
A Windows Client Viewer and a Java Applet Viewer are available for browser
access, while Windows Client AP and Java Client AP programs are provided
for non-browser GUI access. They allow IP connection and login from
anywhere on the net. Inclusion of a Java-based client ensures that the CN8000
is platform independent, and is able to work with practically all operating
systems.
The client software allows access to, and control of, the connected servers.
Once an operator successfully connects and logs in, his screen displays what is
running on the remote unit attached to the CN8000 (a KVM OSD display, a
server's desktop, or a running program, for example) and he can control it from
his console just as if he were there.
The Log Server records all the events that take place on selected CN8000 units
for the administrator to analyze.
Your CN8000 investment is protected through the ability of its firmware to be
upgraded over the internet. You can stay current with the latest functionality
improvements by downloading firmware update files from our website as they
become available, and then using the utility to quickly and conveniently
perform the upgrade.
