Communication Devices, Inc. Direct "console access" to network routers, firewalls, servers and other systems infrastructure. Connection OUTSIDE the main network bandwidth – via traditional phone circuits, cellular wireless services or secondary private/public IP networks. Power control as necessary to restart or reboot attached components. Security restrictions to prevent outsiders from entering network via an out-of-band connection

2.  Direct "console access" to network routers, firewalls,
servers and other systems infrastructure
 Connection OUTSIDE the main network bandwidth –
via traditional phone circuits, cellular wireless services
or secondary private/public IP networks
 Power control as necessary to restart or reboot
attached components
 Security restrictions to prevent outsiders from entering
network via an out-of-band connection

3.  Deploy built-in security, to eliminate dependency on
the network or other systems for secure operation
 Gain control over remote devices for deployment,
configuration and management
 Respond quickly to failure events, including underlying
network failures
 Simplify management of devices across large-scale
networks for multiple administrators

4.  Port Authority 100 Series (PA-100)
◦ FIPS 140-2 validated and FISMA-high approved devices for
government customers
 Out-of-Band Manager (OBM)
◦ Multi-user, SQL-based management software for system
configuration and secure administrator access

5.  FIPS 140-2 Validated
 AES 256 CFB Encryption
 Hardware Encryption Engine
 Multiple SSH Sessions
 Real Time Heartbeat
 RADIUS, TACACS+, SNMP at NOC
 On-board RSA SecurID authentication (secure access in
the event of a network failure)
 Wired / Wireless / Network connectivity options
 OBM Enterprise Manager enabled

6.  Available for PA-100 and PA-200
 Integrated or attached, depending on device model
 Controlled via RJ-11 cable using TTL signals
 One-for-one on any circuit to handle larger loads than
power strip-type switch devices
 10amp and 20amp versions 110/230v
 Multiple international configuration options

7.  Remote control for restart or
reboot of failed network
devices
 Power control modules may be
integrated or added externally
 International operability

13. 1 PORT
1 PORT
5 PORT
9 PORT

15.  System components (user interface, application server,
SQL database) may be distributed across network
 Security controls may be defined within OBM, or may
use external authentication (RADIUS, TACACS+)
 Administrative groups, customer sites, device profiles
can be readily segregated and controlled
 Successfully deployed across large-scale sites with
multiple network managers and engineers

16.  U.S. Carriers managing Federal Government Agencies
 Devices are deployed when turning up new sites
 Devices are configured from OBM once installed
 Devices are access by remote engineers to “Turn up”
the site – config routers firewalls run tests etc..
 Device are used when sites have issues and require
OOB access.
 Devices are used to power cycle network appliances

17.  Most new customer installs are LTE
 All customers have at lease a small mix of analog
devices where LTE service is not available at the exact
location of the equipment.
 We still ship a lot of analog only based devices based
off of legacy government contracts
 We expect these to eventually migrate to LTE once the
government catches up

18.  Industry leader in Secure Out-of-Band Management for
over 15 years, in business for over 35 years.
 Multiple, large-scale device deployments for
commercial, financial and government customers.
 Pioneer in gaining government certifications for Secure
Out-of-Band Management products.
 Closely involved with NIST standards, active on the X9
committee that authored both FIPS-171 and FIPS-140.
 All products manufactured and built in USA.
