June 19, 2013 — Perle Systems introduces Managed Ethernet Extenders for environments where network services are needed beyond the Ethernet limit of 328 feet (100 meters) and network security is critical. Ethernet Extenders can be found in commercial buildings, residential units, hospitality environments and remote offices where copper wiring is being used for long range Ethernet communication links. On a corporate LAN where security is crucial a managed solution is required. The Managed Ethernet Extenders support all authentication, authorization and accounting (AAA) security services used in corporate networks, including TACACS+, RADIUS, LDAP, Kerberos, NIS and RSA.
Management session data is protected through encrypted SSH and HTTPS connections to protect ID’s and passwords from someone ‘snooping’ on the network.
