Opengear questions
Which Opengear model do you recommend for a branch FortiGate site?
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. See out-of-band management.
Are you an Opengear partner?
Yes. Ambio Edge Networks is an Authorized Opengear Partner and buys through Opengear’s authorized U.S. distribution.
What about the OM1200?
The OM1200 reached end of sale on March 24, 2026; the OM1300 replaces it. Send the serial and we check with Opengear what support remains.
