Running a serial cable back to a rack is often impossible, but there is nearly always structured cabling nearby. The IP2SL sits at the device, takes an Ethernet drop, and the control system talks to it over TCP as though the serial cable ran the whole way.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 14px;\"\u003eIt is equally at home in a rack. Managed PDUs, older UPS units, environmental monitors and industrial controllers frequently expose configuration only through a console port. Putting an IP2SL on that port means the next firmware change or log pull happens from a desk instead of from a crash cart, and because the unit accepts up to eight simultaneous sessions, a monitoring poller and a human can share the device without fighting over it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 24px;\"\u003eTwo limits worth stating plainly. First, \u003cstrong\u003ethis is the IP2SL, not the IP2SL-P\u003c\/strong\u003e, so it does not take Power over Ethernet — it needs its own 5 to 16 V DC supply or USB power, and no adapter is supplied with this unit. Second, it is \u003cstrong\u003eRS-232 only\u003c\/strong\u003e: RS-485 and RS-422 devices are not supported, and if you need infrared or contact-closure control instead, those are the IP2IR and IP2CC
