The Lantronix LM83X is a fifth generation Local Manager in the LM-Series. This 24-Port LM83X configuration provides 24 serial ports, 3 Ethernet ports and includes LMS. The LM-Series are state-aware console servers—an expert system using rules-based AI to recover and mitigate network infrastructure securely, reliably and automatically. The LM83X can act independently from the network to remotely monitor, manage and control devices over serial console connections. Administrators can access the LM83X and connected devices directly through the CLI or use the Lantronix Control Center for a single pane of glass to manage LM-Series devices and automate management of connected devices. Virtual ports and port forwarding support secure access to network infrastructure, automation of day-to-day management and response during network emergencies.
