RE: Electronics question

["Paul Gordon" <paul_gordon@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

The Avocent is mains powered by an internal PSU, so only has an IEC
mains
(kettle) lead powering it. It's also a sealed box, - no screws - the case
is
riveted shut as far as I can tell, so there is no prospect of making
modifications to the box to hack the signals wired to the output ports. The
only place to make any mods is at the 3145 boards, which - truth be told,
I'd much rather do anyway, - they're far more expendable than my sole
serial-over-ip box in the event that I FUBAR something up!

Missed that it was an IP box!
So how about some more bodging of cables and sending the power down the
unused pairs on the cat5.
Or how is the avocent box being powered? read the label on the PSU and if
>8V and shows '=' alongside the value then tap
power off this lead for the 3145s (+wire to DTR -wire to GND).
