The OEM for these is actually this company: Lanner | Network Security Appliance, Industrial Computer, Embedded System, Vehicle Computer, Industrial Firewall, Digital Signage, Telecom Datacenter ApplianceJust posting to say I remember several years ago seeing a Client with a couple of these and being fascinated by seeing something so unusual (a server with knobs?!). Cool to see this out here
The exact model of the unit I gave away is this: Nitrox-Accelerated Network Security Platform | FW-8892 | Lanner
The knob can be used for initial config (setting IPs and such), changing boot options (boot from restore partition or back to revert back to last known good config), and of course depressing it when the unit is off has it act like the power button.
As far as I'm aware, Celestix rebranded them and sold them with a few minor hardware modifications. They actually sold them to other companies and then they rebrand them too (like RSA). I used to have a large collection of them and liked to put pfSense on them for deployments (though I kept ISA Server/ForeFront on a few). Here's what it looked like at once point:
I am glad to see gigatexal got it.
Bluefox, that is a wonderful act of generosity, and is the kind of gesture that make this community great!
