TFA is an authentication processwhere a person proves their identity with two methods: something you know (for example, a password orPIN) and something you have (such as a smart card). Use of TFA is growing due to requirements bygovernments and other institutions with a high need for security. An example of a TFA device that theLocal Console Managers support is the CCID-compliant Common Access Card (CAC) reader.You can use the LCM8 and LCM16 with a Global Console Manager to provide network-wide remoteaccess with out-of-band access to servers, network equipment, and other devices with serial configurationor console ports all from a single appliance. This unified approach improves staff efficiency by reducingthe time required to remotely diagnose, reconfigure, repair, or restore servers and network devices andother hardware with serial configuration, management consoles, or both.LCM8 and LCM16 Local Console Managers 1 |
