I use https://www.lantronix.com/products/lantronix-slb/ for small sites but that looks like overkill for what you are doing. The Lantronix SLB882 has auto transfer switching (ATS) power management with port control for remote power management. On Fri, Feb 24, 2017 at 10:08 AM, Ben Bartsch <uwcableguy@gmail.com> wrote:
NANOG - Are any of you running a console server to access your network equipment via a serial connection at a remote site? If so, what are you using and how much do you like it? I have a project where I need to stand up over 100 remote sites and would like a backdoor to the console just to be able to see what's going on with the equipment to hopefully avoid a truck roll for something simple like a hung device. I need 4 console
ports
and 1 RJ45 ethernet jack. My quick Google search landed me at BlackBox LES1204A-3G-R2, but I've never actually used such a device. This would be for use in the USA.
Thank you in advance.
