Switch Console Access via Serial Console port
This connection is realised by connecting the physical serial port of the HyperNode to the Switch's Serial Console Port.
This connection remains operational independently from the Local Area Network status. As far as the HyperNode has a route to reach the HyperServer either via the primary WAN/LAN link or via a Secondary Network Connection or an Out-of-Band connection like a 3G based link created by inserting a USB 3G Key into the HyperNode, then the switch's serial console port will remain remotely accessible.
The Power Control Function will also remain functional in such a condition and this will allow not only to keep active the switch's serial console link but will allow also to give a could boot to the router if required.
The Serial Console Port remains accessible and operational even during the switch's reset and reboot phases and this allows active technician intervention during such phases making possible to perform changes or even performing a full reload of switch's primary configurations and it will allow even the reloading and upgrading of the switch's firmware.
All of this can be done while the LAN/WAN ports of the switch are inoperative or unreachable.
Login can be performed by HyperManage's auto-login function. This leaves login credentials to the switch managed by the Server and never known to the technician or user.

Remote Power Control
This application allows to turn the switch off and on again as needed to give it a full cold boot.

During a cold boot the remote connection through the serial console port will remain connected even during the switch's boot process: this will allow to control it and to be able to input data and command to the console port as needed via the remote keyboard.

Automatic Backup procedure
Backups of all configuration changes on all Cisco equipments can be made automatically when changed, can be accessed, compared and reloaded any time as needed.
For all other brands, backups can be manually uploaded on central server to be always accessible to allowed platform users.

Automatic login procedures
The login procedure of the switch as all login procedures of all managed devices that are necessary to give access to the switch to a technician can be centrally performed by HyperServer via the HyperManage auto-login function. This leaves the credentials (usernames, passwords, etc) necessary to login on the different devices known only to the HyperServer. When the access of a technician to a device or to the entire system has to be suspended it is suspended by centrally disabling his RSA-key and no other security precautions are needed because technicians do not have knowledge of any credentials necessary to login onto the different devices.

Simple connection to Cisco equipment
HyperNode Serial Console connection to Cisco equipment can be made via straight RJ-45 Network Cable.
