whereby a valid username and password must be given
before the client software can run – and advanced
encryption technologies, such as secure TLS 1.2 and RSA
2048-bit certificates.
Flexible encryption design allowing users to choose any
combination of 56-bit DES, 168-bit 3DES, 256-bit AES, 128-
bit RC4, or Random for independent keyboard/mouse/video
and virtual media data encryption.
Support for IP/MAC filter
Supports strong password protection
Private CA
External
Authentication
Support
In addition to its own security protection, the CN8600 allows
you to set up login authentication and authorization
management from external sources such as RADIUS, LDAP,
LDAPS, and MS Active Directory.
Multi-Users /
Multi-Logins
The CN8600 supports up to 64 user accounts, and allows up to
32 concurrent user logins per bus access.
Port Share Mode The CN8600 allows multiple users to gain access to a server
simultaneously.
Serial Interface
Serial console management – serial terminal access.
Access the server connected to CN8600 via a built-in serial
viewer, or via third party software (such as PuTTY) for Telnet
and SSH sessions.
Out of Band Support – via dial up modem support. Able to
access the CN8600 through its RS-232 port using a dial-up

Message Board A message board – similar to an Internet chat program –
allows users to communicate with each other, and provides
mechanisms for a user to take exclusive control of the KVM
functions.
Event Logging Record the events that take place on the CN8600 and write
them to the log server. Administrators and users can search for
events containing specific words or strings and retrieve them
according to date and order of significance.
