Our (larger) company decided to get a bunch of OpenGear ACM5003-M OOB analog modem based console servers and we've run into a snag...
When dialing into most of North America(From within NA), we have no issues...When dialing into them anywhere below Mexico and Latin America we cannot get the modems to even handshake...as the line quality is so poor.
Has anyone had any experience with OOB management over large distances(multuiple countries or continents away)? We failed to take into account the distance our analog modems would be communicating.
Before you mention 3G cellular access, that would be too costly for the occasional OOB access to justify, but we still need it for the occasional site outage.
Any other products or workarounds? Even with our current console servers?
