Opengear · Console Manager
A compact console manager: serial console ports, two network uplinks and an optional 5G modem, without the OM1300’s built-in switch. The lower-cost choice when console access is all a site needs.

List prices are Opengear’s U.S. list prices from its price list effective October 26, 2026, shown for reference; we confirm the exact part number and price when we quote. Specs are from Opengear’s price-list descriptions and datasheets. Models ending in -LSP are the same hardware with Lighthouse Service Portal enabled, at the same list price. Dual-DC (-DDC) and ACM7000 models are on the same price list; ask and we quote them.
Cellular data plan: from your carrier, quoted separately.
List price, shown for reference. Whether a site needs Lighthouse depends on the remote-access design and how many sites you run. Installation and management are quoted after scoping.
Need a built-in out-of-band switch? The OM1300 adds one. More than 8 console ports? The CM8100 starts at 16. Opengear CM8000 datasheet.

Usually the OM1304-4E-C. Its four console ports reach the FortiGate and up to three switches, its four switched gigabit ports put the FortiGate MGMT port and the switches’ management ports on the out-of-band network, and its 5G modem keeps that path off the site’s internet circuit. If console access is all the site needs, the CM8004-C costs less. For five to eight console connections, use the OM1308-8E-C. For more than eight, see the model chooser. We confirm the model when we scope the site.

Count the console ports you need to reach, decide whether the site needs its own cellular link, and check the uplink. We do that with you when we scope the site and put the exact part number on the quote.
Yes. We stage the configuration, ship the unit to your site and connect it during the install; installation is quoted after scoping. See out-of-band management for how it fits a managed FortiGate site.
