This what a terminal server component is.  In general some number of RS-232/Serial ports (today 9 pin connector) and at least one Ethernet LAN interface:

You then connect the LAN interface to some Ethernet network and access the various terminal servers remotely.  For true OOB you need a separate OOB network for this.  Some folks do this by connecting to a LAN port on the local switch, but when the switch may have a problem, defeats the purpose being able to get to the switch remotely, no matter what.

 

Other remote mgmt option is using some in-band IP address on the switch(es) themselves.  For more on terminal servers go here:

You can find lots of information about this subject with simple Google/Yahoo/whatever search.
