Lantronix Lantronix SLC Lantronix SLC - Product Brief

Centrally Monitor, Manage, and Troubleshoot

With a common GUI interface that is simple to set up and use, the SLC

provides easy, secure administration and management of IT equipment –

from anywhere, at any time.

System administrators can securely access and control a wide variety of IT and

data center equipment, including Linux, Unix or Windows® servers, routers,

switches, PBXs, UPSs, and even building access devices through their serial

ports. Connecting from 8 to 48 serial ports to an SLC provides the ability to

centrally monitor, manage and troubleshoot many pieces of equipment using

familiar tools such as Telnet or SSH.

Anytime, Anywhere Solution

With the SLC, it’s just like being there. Access to the SLC device ports is

accomplished via Telnet/SSH or, a web page launched console client, with no

proprietary software required. Any server or IT asset that provides console or

serial port management services can be managed remotely from any location

with the same interface and capabilities available locally. The command line

interfaces of most IT equipment provide low-level access for reconfiguring,

rebooting, and even reloading firmware. SLC enables IT managers to take

advantage of these functions from a single point-of-contact over a network

or out-of-band dial-up connection. In-band access is available through dual

Ethernet connections for both public and management networks.

The Lantronix® SLC console manager provides secure,

remote access to servers and IT infrastructure

equipment, whether it’s located down the hall or across

the globe. IT professionals can use the SLC to monitor,

manage and troubleshoot nearly anything in the data

center rack, from anywhere, at any time – even if

servers or networks are down. This capability means

faster response rates which translate into reduced costs

and less downtime.

In-band (Ethernet) and out-of-band access (dial-in/out

via modem)

Integrated Security

Protecting IT resources is a top priority. The SLC provides security

features such as SSL and SSH for data encryption. It also supports remote

authentication for integration with other systems already in place in the

data center. For added protection, the SLC also includes firewall features

to reject connection attempts or block ports and is the first console server

with a NIST-certified AES encryption.

Easy to Deploy and Use

The Lantronix SLC provides a comprehensive suite of features enabling quick

setup and deployment, with typical “box to operation” times of fewer than

10 minutes. A front panel LCD with keypad, “Quick Setup” web interface

and a command line interface (CLI) setup script are all available. The

comprehensive online help system includes context-sensitive information

during configuration and operation. The SLC offers single or dual AC or dual

DC power supply options. Other key features include SNMP support and

e-mail notifications with string recognition and RegExp support.
