It can log the data, allows users +to take write-access of a console (one at a time), and has a variety +of bells and whistles to accentuate that basic functionality. The idea is +that conserver will log all your serial traffic so you can go back and +review why something crashed, look at changes (if done on the console), +or tie the console logs into a monitoring system (just watch the logfile +it creates; for instance using ``dnotify''). + +Multi-user capabilities allow you to work on equipment with others, mentor, +train, etc. It also does all that client-server stuff so that, assuming you +have a network connection, you can interact with any of the equipment from +home or wherever. |
