IBM ACT Enterprise Activation Key
For IBM Advanced Connectivity Technology (ACT) products, the software key allows users to centrally manage all Remote Console Manager (RCM) KVM over IP switches as a common solution. The new key turns on function already built into the latest firmware. By using industry-standard Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP), the new software brings major benefits over individually managed switches as changes to access and server viewing rights can now be made at a single central location rather than at each switch. This authentication improvement and the addition of the added security feature of 3DES communication encryption makes the RCM viable in even the largest most complex installations.
