So how about using an ethernet to serial adapter to gain access to the switch serial management port remotely? See attached.
Obviously I would recommend that you fully test the solution locally on an identical switch if you have one, before shipping to the remote site for somebody to simply plug in.
I've successfully used such devices to access serial ports of remote RAID controllers using nothing more than an IP address from PuTTy.
Just an idea. There are, of course, a variety of ethernet to serial adapters out there. Just search for them.
I have a serial modem connected to a usb port using an adapter cable. The system is a HP DL360. RedHat ES3.0
I am using the device /dev/ttyUSB0
When I issue the command "mgetty ttyUSB0" I get the following output in the log file.
How do I get the system to see the modem.

umcs
UMCS(4) BSD Kernel Interfaces Manual UMCS(4)NAME
umcs -- USB support for serial adapters based on the MCS7820 and MCS7840 chips
SYNOPSIS
To compile this driver into the kernel, place the following lines in your kernel configuration file:
device usb
device ucom
device umcs
Alternatively, to load the driver as a module at boot time, place the following line in loader.conf(5):
umcs_load="YES"
DESCRIPTION
The umcs driver provides support for various multiport serial adapters based on the MosCom MCS7820 and MCS7840 chips. They are 2- or 4-port
adapters with full-featured 16550-compatible UARTs and very flexible baud generators. Also, these chips support RS422/RS485 and IrDA opera-
tions.
The device is accessed through the ucom(4) driver which makes it behave like a tty(4).
Different ports on device are presented as sub-units, like /dev/ttyU0.1 and /dev/ttyU0.2.
HARDWARE
The umcs driver was tested on the following adapters:
o ST Lab U-360 two-port serial USB adapter
o ST Lab U-400 four-port serial USB adapter
SEE ALSO tty(4), ucom(4), usb(4)HISTORY
The umcs driver appeared in ports since December of 2010.
AUTHORS
The umcs driver was written by Lev Serebryakov <lev@FreeBSD.org>.
BUGS
This driver doesn't support access to any fine tunes of chip, like RS522/RS485 mode, non-standard baudrates, etc.
