8 / 16 Port KVM Switch
1. Introduction
8/16 port KVM switch can control attached servers and computers from a local or
remote console. This KVM switch is loaded with features such as one local console port, one
optional IP based remote console port, Daisy Chain function, On Screen Display (OSD) Menu,
Password security, Hotkey Control, Push Button selection and Auto Scan control. It has complete
keyboard and mouse emulation for flawless, simultaneous booting of computers.
With the optional IP based remote console port you can control connected servers locally at the
rack or remotely via the Internet using a standard browser. You can securely gain BIOS level access
to systems for maintenance, support or failure recovery over the Internet. Communication is
secure via SSL encryption.
The optional IP based console is a shared console. Both the local console and remote console can
access and view the same computer port, but only one console can control the computer at any
one time. These two consoles operate on a first come, first served basis. The non-controlling
console will mirror the screen from the controlling console. If the controlling console does not
have keyboard or mouse activity for 2 seconds, the other console can take control.
