I was trying to figure out if the local console port is the only port you can admin the system from. I'm looking at 3 options.
1. putting a PC near the main system box (and it might get used for other HA stuff)
2. installing the ethernet option (nice features but expensive)
3. using the M1XSP (least expensive, but I can't tell if it's supported-doesn't appear so)
Since the ethernet option is just talking via the serial port, I guess you could write something for the PC to do the same web UI stuff. Has anyone created this yet?
I was also wondering what options people have connected via the serial port. I'm looking for a way to send IR commands out from the M1G. Are there good serial-to-IR boxes that have been used?
Thanks,
Frank
