Trade Up to Lantronix: Modernize Your Out-of-Band Management
Replace EoL Cisco, Opengear, and Raritan Console Servers with Autonomous Out-of-Band Management
Legacy console servers like the Cisco 4000-series ISRs, Opengear CM7100/IM7200, ZPE Systems Nodegrid Serial Plus, and Raritan Dominion SXII are reaching end-of-life. It’s time to trade up to a platform built for how network engineers work today.
Let's talk about next steps!
Why Trade Up from Repurposed Cisco ISRs
Routers like the Cisco 4000-series were never designed for console management. They’re complex, expensive, and lack independence from the production network.
Why Trade Up from Opengear & Raritan
Traditional console servers focus on remote access — not automation. Opengear has no REST API. SLC9000 + Percepxion ships with a full OpenAPI 3.1 spec with every management action callable from Ansible, Terraform, ServiceNow, or any tool your team already runs. Your OOB platform stops being a silo and serves as a resilient collector and executor of your network automation framework.

Self-provisions on arrival with no manual config, no on-site engineer required. Scales from one device to thousands without linear headcount growth.
Full REST API, OpenAPI 3.1
Every management action callable via a documented REST API. Plug into Ansible, Terraform, ServiceNow, or any custom toolchain with no custom connectors needed.
Percepxion SaaS Dashboard
Cloud-managed visibility and control accessible from anywhere, including when the primary network is unavailable. Managed OOB without on-prem infrastructure.
Automatic Device Discovery
Identifies and inventories every connected device automatically which eliminates blind spots and removes manual discovery work from outage response.
Resilient Automation Executor

Ask Your Network in Plain English
With the Percepxion MCP server connected to Claude, a network admin can type a plain-English question about their infrastructure and get an answer in seconds including raw data to dig deeper. No UI navigation, no exports, no query syntax.
