Nearly all new desktop computers have built-in
network ports. If yours is more than a few years old and doesn't have them, you may need to install an Ethernet 10/100 NIC into one of the expansion slots.
So a simple strategy based on in-band management will provide some assistance in certain circumstances but will have minimum benefit if a key router goes down or if there are a number of critical devices which do not have
network ports. A simplistic solution to this problem is to connect those devices which are "really critical" to modems for out-of-band connectivity.
This digital VoIP gateway series includes dual Gigabit
network ports with a configurable integrated NAT router, two USB 3.0 ports, and one SD card interface.
This IP data network includes 90+ network nodes, 400+ 40GbE network fabric links, 4,000+
network ports, and 2,000+ live network endpoints connecting at a combination of 10GbE, 40GbE and 100GbE -- not to mention a 14 PB video storage system.
The device includes dual Gigabit
network ports with an integrated NAT router and advanced QoS support to ensure stable, real-time performance of latency-sensitive VoIP services.
The DP1.2-Vision-XG system also includes many mission-critical features, including the screen-freeze function, the monitoring function, a redundant power supply, Single Network Management Protocol (SNMP) and two
network ports.
