With an updated WebSSH capability, administrators have command line access to attached systems via any Java-enabled web browser. In addition, the WebSSH enhancement provides for easy viewing of attached equipment through variable font sizes and also adds a powerful new cut-and-paste capability to simplify repetitive operations.

Lantronix SecureLinx SLC console management product provides a complete in-band and out-of-band management solution for the data center. The SLC gives IT managers the unsurpassed ability to remotely monitor, troubleshoot, repair and manage IT equipment, including servers, switches, routers, telecom equipment or anything in a rack even if the network is down.
