I'm not sure if this is the right forum for this but I couldn't find one more fitting. I'm tired of my old analog kvm along with the need to be standing in front of the rack to use it.
I'm looking for a used KVM over IP Console server preferably with an interface I can use on Linux / OSX that allows at least two remote users, has the ability to control a PDU, one local user, and 8 or 16 ports.
I'm finding a lot of cheap HP units (that I discovered cannot be password reset), several Raritan previous gen (KX2), and a few of the previous gen Avocent's (autoview), as well as the random Dell here or there. It's a heck of a time trying to find any information on them outside of a manual, and they are all previous gen so I worry about the interface not functioning properly....
My budget is to try to stay under $300 with at least 5 adapters. Anyone have suggestions?
