Alan There are maybe too many options out there. The used Cyclades are the lowest cost entry point. An ideal solution might be https://freetserv.github.io/ but some assembly required. I have Lantronix OOB solutions in my lab. Most modern servers come with some SOL options so I will assume this is for networking equipment. The modern HTML5 interfaces are great and really do drop all the legacy Java requirements. On Tue, Sep 18, 2018 at 8:38 AM Alan Hannan <alan () routingloop com> wrote:
I'd like your input on suggestions for an alternate serial port manager. Long ago I used Cisco 2511/2611 and was fairly happy. A little later I used portmaster and was less so. Recently I've been using Opengear and they work fairly well but the price is fairly high. I use the CM7100 and IM7100. General specs I'm looking for are: * 8 to 48 or more rs232 serial ports on rj45 * nice-to-have software selectable pinouts (cisco v. straight) * gig-e ethernet port (100mbps ok) * 1U form factor * redundant AC power * access physical serial connections via local port # * access physical serial connections via local IP alias (nice to have) Can you recommend a serial port server/concentrator that I could use in place of opengear for a better value and/or lower cost? I'm just ignorant about the current market for serial port concentrators and so far web searches have not revealed ideas, so your input is appreciated! Thanks! -alan
