NetCommander 32-Port Cat5 KVM over IP Switch

- 4 Remote + 1 Local User, 1U Rack-Mount

MODEL NUMBER: B072-032-IP4

Control up to 32 computers from virtually anywhere with one Cat5 KVM switch. This KVM switch with IP
remote access is a smart solution for efficient server control. Low-cost Cat5 cables let you locate servers
up to 100 ft. away.

Description

Tripp Lite’s B072-032-IP4 KVM Switch is the optimal solution for controlling up to 32 computers/servers
locally, from across the room, down the street or around the globe on a network or the Internet.

This KVM switch can be accessed and controlled remotely, so there’s no need to travel to the server room
or network closet. A Java-based application allows access via web browser from any secure IP
connection; a non-browser client that can bypass browser-related Java Security prompts is available.

The B072-032-IP4 uses inexpensive, user-supplied Cat5e/6/6a cabling with Server Interface Units (sold
separately) so you can connect computers/servers located up to 100 ft. away from the switch. This switch
features dual Ethernet ports and dual power supplies; if one fails, the other takes over, keeping access
uninterrupted. Switch easily between the 32 ports using an on-screen display (OSD), hotkey commands or
a remote toolbar. Multi-level password protection prohibits unauthorized users from accessing connected
computers, and a local user and up to four remote users can each log on and access different ports
simultaneously.
