Console server for data-centre edge
The CM8132 provides 32 serial ports for out-of-band management of network infrastructure in data centres, enterprise networks and edge sites. It runs on 1.95 GB of DDR4 SDRAM and includes dual RJ-45 network interfaces plus two USB ports for additional connectivity.
Rack integration with dual uplinks
A rack-mountable chassis houses dual power supplies with independent monitoring while two Gigabit Ethernet ports handle 10/100/1000Base-T traffic. Select models in the CM8100 series add 10Gb SFP+ uplinks for direct connection to high-speed aggregation layers.
Sustained automation workloads
Hardware TPM 2.0 enforces secure boot during continuous operation and the platform hosts containerised applications alongside Docker and Python scripts. Lighthouse software coordinates large fleets through a REST API so routine tasks keep running without operator intervention.
