SLC 8000 Highlights
Designed for system administrators and test engineers, the SLC 8000 advanced
console manager provides easy and 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. The SLC 8000 enables users to leverage the command line interface
for reconfiguring, rebooting and reloading firmware from anywhere, anytime. This can be
done over an in-band network for both public and management networks, or via out-of-
band connections including dial-up (optional) and cellular connectivity (via the Lantronix
PremierWave® XC HSPA+ intelligent gateway, or the LTE Cellular Connectivity Kit, optional).
Integrated automatic failover/failback mechanism allows users to connect seamlessly to
their equipment even when one network is too congested or unresponsive. The users can
securely access and control a wide variety of network, server, and power infrastructure in data
centers and distributed sites. With network performance monitoring, an SLC 8000 unit can be
configured to monitor network traffic with a variety of metrics continuously and reliably.
• The industry’s only modular console server offering both
RJ45 and USB connectivity with user swappable I/O
modules allowing for easy upgrades and scalability
• Performance monitoring can be configured to
continuously monitor your network traffic
• Anytime, anywhere secure access to IT equipment
• Integrated dual 1 Gb Ethernet or dual 1 Gb SFP interfaces
• HTML5 based remote console access
• High performance system with up to 15 users per port
and 396 concurrent sessions
• Increases testing productivity as a DUT aggregator for
automated tests and diagnostic data collection
• Minimizes cable clutter with software-programmable
device port pins (DTE/DCE) to support Cisco and other
leading OEMs
• Integrates with the Lantronix® ConsoleFlow™ central
management solutions
Modular Design
• FIPS 140-2 certified cryptographic encryption mode for
government and military applications
The modular design of the SLC 8000 console manager enables users to 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.
• Built-in support for environmental sensors and dry
contact access control devices
• Optional 4G LTE Connectivity Kit with automatic fail-over
feature
• SFP Transceiver Ready
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.
