Lantronix EMG852010S — EMG8500 Edge Management Gateway 4-Port USB Console with LTE

The Lantronix EMG 8500 Edge Management Gateway is a small-form-factor out-of-band management appliance. It is built for branch offices, remote locations, retail stores and any site where a network device gateway is needed and space is limited. This configuration, EMG852010S, provides four USB device ports and an LTE cellular radio. It is a good fit for equipment that exposes USB console ports. The integrated fail-over/fail-back mechanism keeps management access available over 4G/LTE when the primary connection is congested or unresponsive. The cellular link supports Private APN, VPN access, and public or private IP addressing. IPSLA-based network performance monitoring helps mitigate lights-out scenarios. Users reach device ports through Telnet/SSH, RAW-TCP or an HTML5 Java-free web terminal. Multiple sessions and simultaneous access to the same port are supported. Each port carries a 256 KB buffer, with logging to local files, syslog, USB, SD card or NFS. Event notification runs via email, SNMP or syslog. Security includes TLS v1 through v1.3, a packet-filtering firewall, and per-port and per-group rights. Remote authentication supports LDAP/AD, RADIUS, Kerberos, TACACS+ and NIS. Encryption is a NIST-certified AES implementation, and the cryptography is FIPS 140-2 compliant (Certificate #2398). The two front IO module slots accept 4-port RS-232, 4-port USB or 4-port Ethernet switch modules. The two rear connectivity slots take LTE/4G, Wi-Fi or dial-up modem modules, and all of these modules are customer replaceable. The gateway has 1 GB NAND flash, 1 GB DRAM and a microSD slot for up to 128 GB. It operates from 0 to 50 °C and weighs 3.0 lbs maximum depending on options. It works with Lantronix Percepxion for Networking for centralized management. A product brief, quick start guide and user guide are published by Lantronix, and the manufacturer warranty is 3 years.
