Features

Control As Many As 64 Computers or Servers from Anywhere in the WorldThis NetDirector® Cat5

KVM switch offers BIOS-level access to multiple computers and servers in a complex, demanding IT
environment. The B064-064-08-IPG provides complete control of up to 64 computers and/or servers
directly, including blade servers, from a single monitor, USB keyboard and USB mouse. Dual redundant
power supplies confirm the unit will continue running in the event one power supply fails, ensuring 24/7
reliability. A Laptop USB Console (LUC) port allows direct connection of a laptop for easy console
operation of the KVM switch.
All-in-One Network Management for Critical SystemsThe B064-064-08-IPG offers a comprehensive,
cost-effective network management solution that installs in 2U of space in an EIA-standard 19-inch rack
using the included hardware. No server-resident software is required, so server performance and reliability
are never compromised. Flash-upgradable firmware over an Ethernet network fine-tunes compatibility with
emerging standards.
Supports All Major Operating Systems and Most Web BrowsersThe B064-064-08-IPG supports all
major server platforms and VT100-based serial devices. Because compatibility is based on common
hardware standards, rather than system software dependencies, almost any platform can be
accommodated. Supported web browsers for users who log in remotely include Internet Explorer, Firefox,
Mozilla, Safari, Opera and Netscape Navigator.
Simple Network Control That Gives You More FlexibilityThis Cat5 KVM switch is designed to ease
multi-server management in data centers, server rooms and other high-density environments. Built-in IP
capability allows up to nine users—one local and eight remote—to access the network independently and
simultaneously. An optional dial-in connection (modem port) is provided to ensure access in situations
when the KVM switch is not available over the primary network. You may also select a connected
computer using on-console pushbuttons, GUI (graphical user interface), OSD (on-screen display) or
keyboard hotkey commands. An LED per KVM port indicates when a computer is connected to the port,
when it is powered on and when it is selected.
High-Resolution On-Screen Display Offers Multi-Language SupportThe advanced OSD with high­resolution video up to 1920 x 1200 (at 60 Hz) with 24-bit color depth provides a GUI with management
tools, including custom port labeling, auto-scanning and panel array mode. The OSD may be set to
display in English, German, Russian, Japanese, traditional Chinese and simplified Chinese.
Allows Connection of Either USB Keyboard and MouseUSB console ports are included. Only one
keyboard/mouse combination may be connected at a time.
Supports Both IPv4 and IPv6 AddressesThe B064-064-08-IPG supports IPv4, Link Local IPv6 Address
and IPv6 Stateless Autoconfiguration protocols. You may set the IP address manually or have it

Heightened Security of Every ConnectionThe B064-064-08-IPG offers three levels of password
protection (super administrator, administrator and user) to prevent unauthorized persons from gaining
access to connected servers/computers. Remote authentication support is provided via RADIUS, LDAP,
LDAPS and Active Directory. The B064-064-08-IPG also incorporates advanced encryption technologies:
1024-bit RSA, 56-bit DES, 256-bit AES and 128-bit SSL. It also supports high-grade FIPS 140-2 level 1
security standards.
Network-Wide Storage Media AccessVirtual Media capability allows any computer connected to the
KVM via a B055-001-USB-V2, B055-001-UDP, B055-001-UDV or B055-001-UHD server interface unit to
access DVD/CD drives, flash drives and other storage media from a remote computer, as if it were directly
connected. This allows administrators to perform file transfers, install software and perform diagnostics
across a network. Three USB ports are provided on the front panel for use with Virtual Media or USB
peripheral devices.
Energy-Efficient Operation Prolongs the KVM’s LifespanTemperature sensors automatically increase
or decrease the speed of the unit's fans as necessary to ensure efficient cooling. This decreases the
amount of energy consumed, while prolonging the life of the fans and KVM switch.
Free Management Software IncludedFree NetDirector-AXS management software is available for
accessing and controlling the B064-064-08-IPG. From a single interface, you can remotely access server
ports and manage KVM settings. You can install this software from the included CD or download it at
