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.

Did You Know?

Today, many leading IT equipment manufacturers (like Cisco, Brocade, Dell, HPE and others) are moving towards launching USB-only based solutions. The Lantronix SLC 8000 is the only industry solution that can support up to 48 high-density USB ports and is compatible with multiple manufacturers' USB solutions.

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). 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.

Unique Modular Design Saves You Time and Money

The Lantronix SLC 8000 advanced console manager's unique modular chassis allows for easy and cost-effective field upgrades with user-swappable 16 port USB and RS-232 modules - helping you protect your legacy equipment investment and transition to newer USB solutions at your own pace. Need to switch from serial to USB (or support a combination of both)? Expand the number of ports on your console manager (up to 48)? Change from single to dual power supply? All of these are possible with the modular design of SLC 8000. The bottom line: with SLC 8000, you have the ability to more easily deploy and upgrade new services and equipment, and minimize capital expenditures.

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. The SLC 8000 also supports FIPS 140-2 certified mode for government and military applications.

Device networking is what powers M2M (machine to machine) communication. The UDS family of external device servers enables users to connect, manage and control just about any piece of equipment with a serial port from virtually anywhere over Ethernet or the Internet.

With the UDS1100, virtually any piece of equipment can be added to an Ethernet network in a matter of minutes! This single-port external device server is a quick, simple and inexpensive way to bring the advantages of remote management to equipment not currently connected to a network.

And with the UL 864 listing, fire and alarm panel equipment manufactures can easily add networking capabilities to their existing UL 864-listed products without the need to reapply to UL.

Remote KVM-over-IP for the Global IT Environment

Lantronix Spider provides secure KVM (keyboard, video, mouse) server management over an IP network. Unlike any other product on the market, Spider offers a flexible, scalable and affordable CAT5-based remote access KVM solution in a cable friendly, compact "zero-footprint" package.

Spider is ideal for remotely managing geographically distributed IT equipment. It eliminates server-to-switch CAT5 cable distance limitations and gives system administrators 24/7 access to mission critical servers distributed across a wide variety of network environments such as high-density data centers, corporate or university campuses, multi-floor buildings, branch offices, and test and development labs.

Connected directly to the server, Spider guarantees non-blocked access from any web browser, anywhere, at any time! More cost-effective than traditional KVM, it provides one of the lowest cost-per-remote-user server management solutions available. Amazingly scalable, Lantronix Spider KVM can be daisy-chained together. This provides an economical and highly flexible solution in environments where numerous cable drops and distance limitations can be a challenge when adding servers.

Access Servers Anytime, from Anywhere

KVM-over-IP switches are a valuable part of an effective infrastructure management strategy, enabling administrators to gain BIOS-level access to servers, perform maintenance and solve problems from virtually anywhere at a moment's notice. However, the cable distance limitation between servers and a KVM switch present a problem. In a "distributed IT" environment a better solution is needed.

The Lantronix Spider-Series provides secure KVM access to servers over a standard IP network. It does not have the cable-length restrictions inherent with computer interface modules (CIMs) and current CAT5 KVM switches. Servers can be across the room or across the globe! Video degradation is not a factor, and additional cable drops are not necessary.

Fully Secure, Non-Blocked Remote Access

Lantronix Spider KVM provides continuous availability to servers with 1:1 non-blocked access. This allows administrators to have guaranteed access to mission critical servers, regardless of how many of them need remote access. In other words, administrators are not locked in to a fixed number of remote users. And adding more remote users is simple and cost effective - just add another Spider!

Additionally with Spider, you can add remote IP users one server port at a time, rather than adding another switch that provides costly, pre-defined multiples. And there is no single point of failure with Spider deployments. If a unit is disabled, you lose access to just one server and the Spider is easily replaced.

Lantronix UDS1100-B Device Server, can quickly and easily network-enable electronic equipment with a serial interface so it can be remotely accessed and controlled over the Net. This flexible product is designed to be integrated with the circuit board of devices like factory machinery, security systems, heating and ventilation systems, lighting control systems and point-of-sale devices.

Building networking capability into a product can be a complex task. The UDS1100-B offers a flexible and easy-toimplement networking solution which enables OEMs to concentrate on their core competency, reduce time-tomarket and quickly increase product value.

Extending Communications Across the Globe

Using a method called 'serial tunneling,' the UDS1100-B encapsulates serial data into packets and transports it over Ethernet. Serial tunneling can be done in multiple ways:

Using two Device Servers connected by a network, virtual serial connections can be extended across a facility or around the world.
Implementing Lantronix COM Port Redirector software simplifies the integration process by extending the functionality of (serial) COM port-based Windows® applications. It redirects application data destined for a local serial (COM) port on a PC over the Ethernet network and through the UDS1100-B enabled device. Communications to or from the networked equipment is processed by the PC application as if it were from the local COM port.
OEMs that have control over their application source can also modify their applications to communicate directly to the UDS1100-B.

Easy to Set Up and Use

The built-in web server enables users to access and configure the UDS1100-B from a standard web browser. Web pages enabling the Device Server to be customized for unique applications can be built using Lantronix development tools. On-board Flash memory provides room for future system software upgrades and maintenance-free, non-volatile web page storage. The UDS1100-B can be set up locally through its serial port, or remotely using Telnet or a web browser. The Lantronix DeviceInstaller Windows-based configuration software simplifies setup and provides an easy way to:

Discover and group devices on the local network
Assign IP & other network specific addresses
Load custom web pages
Enable web-based configuration of the Device Server
Ping or query the attached device(s) over the network
View specific device data files
Upgrade firmware

Modem Replacement

In modem emulation mode, the UDS is used to replace dial-up modems. The unit accepts modem AT commands on the serial port. It then establishes a network connection to the end device, leveraging network connections and bandwidth to eliminate dedicated modems and phone lines.
