Lantronix Spider KVM network device found

A Lantronix Spider KVM network device found was found in a clients server room. It was plugged into the network and a larger KVM switch to some servers. They forgot this thing was even there. But do remember a past IT admin installed it. It was discovered from an arpwatch notification. It came from an odd static ip address that didn't look like normal client laptops. So it looked very suspect. Not sure why it finally triggered an arpwatch now since it's been plugged in for years.

Could this device have been hacked then used to hack other devices in the network? Maybe not by the old IT admin but just someone finding the Lantronix account (cloud). If they even have that? I'm not familiar with them.
