SLC 9000 Series

Overview

The SLC 9000 Series is Lantronix's newest advanced console server for data centres and network operations teams. It gives secure serial, USB and Ethernet console access to routers, switches, firewalls and servers, and keeps that access available when the production network is down. Units call home to the Percepxion platform on power-up, pick up their configuration and firmware policy, and appear in inventory without per-box setup. Every management task is also available through an OpenAPI 3.1 REST interface.

Built for

Data centre and colocation console access
Network operations teams managing remote sites
Banking and government networks needing audit trails
Hospital IT with 4G/5G out-of-band failover

Key features

Zero-touch provisioning

Units call home to Percepxion over DHCP or cellular, collect their baseline configuration and firmware, and join the inventory automatically.

Automatic device discovery

Serial ports fingerprint connected equipment and record make, model, hostname and OS version.

API-first management

Firmware updates, configuration backups and session control are available through OpenAPI 3.1, with integrations for Ansible, Terraform, ServiceNow and NetBox.

Flexible port mix

Models combine RJ45 serial, USB serial and Gigabit Ethernet switch ports, in 16-port increments up to 48 managed devices.

Out-of-band resilience

Serial access survives network outages, with an external NTC-500 5G modem over USB-C or a V.92 POTS modem for remote connections.
