Lantronix SLC80321201S 32-Port Advanced Console Manager
Overview
The Lantronix SLC80321201S is a 32-port advanced console manager from the SLC8000 product family, configured with a single AC power supply. This unit gives network and data center engineers out-of-band serial access to up to 32 devices — routers, switches, servers, PDUs, and other serial-console-equipped infrastructure — without depending on the primary network being up. When a misconfigured switch or a failed firmware push takes a production segment offline, the SLC80321201S provides the independent access path that gets remediation underway. The single AC power supply configuration keeps the footprint and cost lean for deployments where redundant power input is handled upstream by a redundant PDU or UPS, rather than at the console manager itself. RoHS compliance (SLC80321201S) makes this unit suitable for deployments in regions or facilities with environmental materials restrictions.
Compatibility
The SLC80321201S belongs to the Lantronix SLC8000 series — a rack-mount console server family designed for data centers, network operations centers, and remote equipment rooms. It is compatible with any device that exposes a serial console port (RS-232 RJ-45 or DB-9 breakout), which covers the vast majority of managed network equipment and server platforms. Out-of-band management software and protocols supported by the SLC8000 platform include SSH, Telnet, and web-based access — verify current firmware release notes for specific VPN, RADIUS, or LDAP integration requirements before deployment.
Installation Notes
The single AC power supply configuration means there is one mains input — plan your power path accordingly. If the deployment environment requires power redundancy at the console manager level, evaluate the dual-power-supply variant in the SLC8000 family instead. Rack installation follows standard 1U or 2U rackmount procedures; confirm rack unit height against the SLC8000 series datasheet before ordering rail hardware. RoHS compliance is factory-built into the unit — no field modification required.
