Overview
About the Lantronix SLC 9000
The SLC 9000 (also written SLC9000) gives network teams console access to routers, switches, firewalls and servers that keeps working when the production network does not. It is the newest Lantronix console manager and the first Lantronix device designed from the ground up for Percepxion cloud management. Lantronix positions it as the evolution of the SLC 8000, keeping its console access and authentication workflows while adding automated provisioning and discovery.
On power-up the unit calls home to Percepxion over DHCP or cellular, pulls its baseline configuration, pins firmware to policy and appears in inventory. When a cable is plugged into a serial port, it fingerprints the connected device and records make, model, hostname and OS version. Every management task is exposed through OpenAPI 3.1, with integrations for Ansible, Terraform, ServiceNow, NetBox and custom CMDBs.
Hardware is built for density: a quad-core 1.8 GHz LS1046A Arm processor, 8 GB LPDDR4, 128 GB eMMC and TPM 2.0. Uplinks are two 10/100/1000 Ethernet ports with failover and two 1/10 Gbps SFP+ ports. External NTC-501 or NTC-502 5G modems attach over USB-C for cellular failover, and V.92 POTS modems are supported. The SLC 9000 is TAA compliant.
Key capabilities
- Zero-touch provisioning
- Units call home to Percepxion via DHCP or cellular, pick up firmware and baseline configuration, and join inventory with no per-box manual setup.
- Automatic device fingerprinting
- Serial ports detect connected equipment and capture make, model, hostname and OS version. Unplugging a cable clears the stale entry immediately.
- Dual 10G SFP+ uplinks
- Two 1/10 Gbps SFP+ ports join two 10/100/1000 Ethernet interfaces with failover support, for high-density data center rows.
- API-first management
- Firmware updates, configuration backups and session control are callable via OpenAPI 3.1 REST, with a certified Ansible collection covering both SLC 9000 and Percepxion.
- TPM 2.0 and TAA
- An embedded TPM 2.0 chip anchors hardware security, and the platform is TAA compliant for federal deployments. Lantronix describes it as SASE-ready.
- 5G cellular failover
- NTC-501 or NTC-502 5G modems connect over USB-C with 2 A power support, keeping out-of-band access available when primary networks fail.
How to choose the right SLC 9000 part number
Choose by the mix of managed ports, in 16-port increments up to 48. SLC9016, SLC9032 and SLC9048 have RJ-45 serial ports only. The -U models add USB Type-A serial ports: SLC9016-16U gives 16 RJ-45 plus 16 USB, SLC9016-32U and SLC9032-16U reach 48. The -E models add a 1GbE switch, as on SLC9016-16E, SLC9024-24E or SLC9016-32E. SLC9016-16U-16E combines both. Base part numbers are dual AC with no power cords; append -DC for dual -20 to -72 VDC input or -NA for NEMA 5-15P cords, for example SLC9016-DC.

SLC 9000 FAQ
What is the difference between the SLC 9000 and SLC 8000?
Lantronix positions the SLC 9000 as the evolution of the SLC 8000. It keeps console access and authentication workflows but adds zero-touch provisioning, automatic device fingerprinting, OpenAPI 3.1 management, native Percepxion cloud management, dual SFP+ uplinks and TPM 2.0.
How many devices can an SLC 9000 console server manage?
Up to 48 managed ports in 16-port increments. Ports can be RJ-45 serial, USB serial or Ethernet, with Ethernet switch ports limited to a maximum of 32 per unit.
Does the SLC 9000 support DC power?
Yes. Standard part numbers have dual 100-240 VAC inputs. Adding -DC to the part number, as in SLC9016-DC, orders the dual-input -20 to -72 VDC model.
Does the SLC 9000 include power cords?
No. The default part numbers ship without power cords. Add -NA to the part number, for example SLC9016-NA, to include North American NEMA 5-15P cords. The box contains the unit, a quick start guide and rack ears with screws.
What is the SLC 9000 operating temperature?
The SLC 9000 operates from 0°C to 50°C (32°F to 122°F) at 20% to 80% non-condensing humidity. It is a 1U rack unit, 17.5 inches wide and 10.5 inches deep, weighing 2.7 kg.
