Aten CS1716I Product Data Sheet

CS1708i/CS1716i

8/16-Port PS/2-USB KVM over IP Switch

With 1 Local/Remote User Access

The CS1708i and CS1716i KVM switches are IP-based KVM control units that allow both local and remote

operators to monitor and access multiple computers. Remote users access the switches over the Internet by means

of a web browser using TCP/IP for its remote communications protocol. The CS1708i and CS1716i support up to

32 concurrent user logins for single-bus computer access. A built-in feature that resembles an Internet chat

program – the Message Board – lets them communicate with each other. The ability to exchange information in

real time allows them to cooperatively manage the installation in a smooth and efficient manner.

Among the CS1708i and CS1716i's other outstanding features, a Panel Array Mode provides the ability to

simultaneously monitor up to 16 servers per switch; while the Mouse DynaSync™ feature automatically

synchronizes the local and remote mouse pointer movements for perfect alignment regardless of what the mouse

acceleration settings on the server are.

The CS1708i/ CS1716i supports the highest security protocols, such as 128 bit SSL encryption for the browser, and

RC4 128 bit encryption for secure keyboard, mouse, and video data transmission . For easier and more efficient user

management integration, the CS1708i/ CS1716i also support authentication and authorization via remote servers,

such as RADIUS, LDAP, LDAPS, and MS Active Directory.

These powerful features not only help administrators manage their server room in an efficient and flexible manner,

they provide a cost effective management solution for the SMB sector.

Panel Array Mode

Message Board

A user-friendly, intuitive, GUI provides convenient, access, configuration and
operation. Local Console , browser-based and AP GUIs offer a unified
multilanguage interface to minimize user training time and increase productivity

The remote desktop can appear full-screen. Advanced features such as the
Message Board, and Mouse DynaSync™, create a Virtual Remote Desktop that
allows users to operate servers from remote locations just as if they were
actually at the local site.

With enhanced fps throughput for crisp responsive video display, the switches
offer resolutions of up to 1600 x 1200 @ 60Hz; vibrant 24-bit color depth for
rich remote session display

Panel array mode permits simultaneous monitoring of the video output of the
installations’ servers. Operators can monitor the screen display of up to 16
servers per switch for real-time server monitoring

To alleviate the problem of access conflicts arising from multiple logins, the
Message Board functions like an Internet chat program, allowing users who are
logged in to instantly communicate with each other.

Mouse DynaSync™

Automatically synchronizes the local and remote mouse movements for perfect
alignment of mouse pointers, regardless of server mouse acceleration
settings.For Mouse DynaSync™ support, USB Adapter cables must be used on
all connected ports.
