[labnetwork] Interlock Boxes

[Michael Rooks]

We use ethernet relay boards from National Control Devices 
<http://www.controlanything.com/Relay/Relay/ETHERNET_PROXR>, controlled 
by Badger (the new version of Coral). NCD also makes wifi connected 
relays. Having two relays on a board makes it easy to keep isolated 
grounds isolated. Each board requires its own static IPv4 address. The 
boards can be easily mounted in a 6"x6" electrical box, or in the 
custom-fitted plastic case from Badgerlms. <http://badgerlms.com/> I 
suggest you keep these boards behind a firewall, since they run a tiny 
operating system and web page, but with only minimal security.
