Lantronix Spider KVM End of the Line?

[Patrick]

It looks like the latest versions of Java 9 and 10 are a no-go for the venerable Lantronix Spiders. Even the latest Java 8 patches no longer will allow the remote KVM functionality.

Is this the end of the line for them?

Following. Would be nice if they moved to HTML5.

Raritan KX3 kvm switches are all over HTML5

I have basically given up. It looks like the choice is going to be old OS with an old version of Java or to move on.

My Lantronix SLS Kira Chip Rev 2.n took firmware 04.00.08 (V4.0_20018-12-17) which supports HTML5 console.
It's not 100% perfect, but it works.
You can also use SpiderView
just in case and I take no responsibility for bricked Spiders
to download: Box

Old thread revival but useful information I think :

Just updated Securelinx Spider SLS200 to the latest 4.2 firmware dated 30/06/2020 from Lantronix website :

Latest Version of Spider (SLS200USB0-01 and SLSLP400USB-01 series) Firmware and Software - Lantronix Tech Support - Confluence

ltrxdev.atlassian.net

and I now have HTML5 support for the KVM.

Great update and product follow up by Lantronix.

AWESOME! Thanks @netswitch

Anyone still using these? I want to aquire one that will work with html5.

We still have the ones we updated in 2020 and even if we rarely use them (only when ipmi/bmc controller of a given motherboard is showing strange behaviour), they still work fine. Not checked for updates since then I must say.

Pleasantly surprised to have updated a SLS200, just picked up of ebay, to a firmware dated 2025 to HTML5, just needed to switch KVM mode in settings to get HTML5.
