The Lantronix SLC 8000 advanced console manager is the industry's first modular console server that provides secure remote access to IT equipment, while reducing deployment costs and time.
Centrally Monitor, Manage, and Troubleshoot
Designed for system administrators, quality and test engineers, the SLC 8000 provides easy, secure administration and management of IT equipment from anywhere and at any time. Users can access the SLC 8000 device ports via Telnet/SSH, or a web browser-based console client without any proprietary software. Any IT asset that provides console or serial port management services can be managed remotely and locally with the same interface and capabilities. The SLC 8000 enables users to leverage the command line interface of most IT equipment for reconfiguring, rebooting and reloading firmware from a single point of contact. This can be done over an in-band network with dual Gigabit Ethernet connections for both public and management networks, or through out-of-band connections including dial-up (optional internal modem, sold separately) and cellular connectivity (PremierWave® XC HSPA+ intelligent gateway, sold separately). The users can securely access and control a wide variety of IT and network equipment, including Linux, Unix or Windows® servers, routers, switches, firewalls, PBXs, UPSs, and even building access devices through their serial ports.
Modular Design
The modular design of SLC 8000 allows users to keep the main unit and simply add or swap modules to expand the number of device ports, upgrade from a single power supply to dual, and easily introduce new serial interfaces such as USB to support a combination of existing and new IT equipment that are connected. This reduces the time required to develop and deploy new services, and this flexibility minimizes capital expenditures while offering easy scalability and upgrades.
Integrated Security
Protecting IT resources is a top priority. The SLC 8000 provides security features such as SSL and SSH for data encryption in addition to remote authentication for integration with other systems already in place. For added protection, the SLC 8000 also includes firewall features to reject connection attempts or block ports and has NIST-certified AES encryption.

Good company to do business with
Good company to do business with, they respond quickly and really commit to serve.
Delivery was a little slow, but it got there in time for the installation. Turned out to be the wrong part. Katie was easy to work with to get an RMA number and return it.
Professional Organization, Responsive, Met Expectations
Communication is excellent. They confirmed what might be an atypical order. Carried it out, in less time than advertised. (The advertised lead time was long, but written; their actual time to deliver was much less than that.) Their website search function worked well, though they did have an error on one of their website on the pictures, but the description was correct. I pointed this out to them, and they fixed it immediately, and the correction was live on their site the next day, that is responsive (and errors happen). For people, it’s how it goes after a nit that matters, these people seem to get that and work hard and professionally to do business. I am buying again.
