Question

Guys n gals,

I'm looking for a single box solution here, we have one system on an unmanned site. Now I've located something on BlackBox.co.uk that may do the job, but just wondered what other options there are.

I think the CISCO kit has a minimum of 8 ports, which is overkill and likely to be lots of £££s

I need to get remote console access set up for an E250.

Cheers, Alex

Used an Annex in my last place for the same thing, don't know how much it was but it looked and felt pretty damn cheap 14 ports IIRC. Only thing was to remember to disable keyboard break, so the thing didn't do a stop-a if you sent a reset

Annex = not cheap

You can get ?RCA? cards which plug into the 250 and enable you to always access the machine via the network. Even at OBP
