SLB™ Branch Office Manager User Guide 14
Typical Equipment
You can configure, administer, and manage IT equipment in a variety of ways, but most
devices have one method in common: an RS-232 serial port, sometimes called a
console, auxiliary, or management port. These ports are often accessed directly by
connecting a terminal or laptop to them, meaning that the user must be in the same
physical location as the equipment. SLB devices give the user a way to access them
remotely from anywhere there is a network or modem connection.
The SLB can access and administer many types of equipment, such as:
Servers: Unix, Linux, Windows 2003, and others
Networking equipment: Routers, switches, storage networking
Telecom: PBX, voice switches
Other systems with serial interfaces: Heating/cooling systems,
security/building access systems, UPS, medial device.
