How to do Winspm over a netowrk 1

Check out merlinman's answer to this question when I asked it before.

SOCKETMAGIX. But if you are trying to admin several on a network, it gets pricey because you need one for every switch.
Merlinman also says:
Yes, SOCKETMAGIX is the preferred way.
However, it is my understanding that it costs over $800.00 per site.
A cheap desktop that could be set up for REMOTE DESK TOP could be as little as $250.00.
So, if you know how to do it that way, it could be a bit cheaper.

Why not use a Terminal Server device to connect the serial admin port to the LAN. Lantronix and DIGI amoung others make one port Terminal Servers to connect serial devices to the LAN.
They certainly do not cost $800.00...
Hope this helps!

nowbt2509,
I have 14 of these in use and will be installing 20 more in the next 3 years. It saves hundreds of miles of driving and is a great dependable tool.
That being said, here's the deal,,
That's all you need is an IP (static) address at the Merlin Magix or Legend location. Tell your LAN administrator that LAN port 10001 needs to be "open".
The good part is that you don't need QOS or LLQ activated on the static address. I can see your LAN guy smiling
At the monitoring location you need a desk or laptop (Windows 98SE or better) with WINSPM 5.0 and Socket Magix 9.0 loaded. The software comes with the Socket Magix unit.
Hope this helps, email me if you want.
