The ATEN KL1508AiM 8-Port 17" Dual Rail CAT5 LCD KVM over IP Switch is a control unit that allows secure access for up to 8 computers from a single KVM (keyboard, video, and mouse) console. It consists of an integrated LCD monitor, keyboard, and touchpad in a 1U rack-mountable retractable sliding housing. The LCD and keyboard/touchpad modules slide independently of each other. To maximize space in your data center, the keyboard/touchpad module slides into "hide-away" when not in use, while the thin profile LCD monitor rotates back -flush against the rack- allowing convenient monitoring of computer activity. The KL1508AiM features IP-based connectivity that allows local and remote operators to monitor and access the computers on your installation. Because it uses TCP/IP for its communications protocol, the KL1508AiM can be accessed from any computer on the LAN, WAN, or Internet, whether that computer is located down the hall, down the street, or halfway around the world. Compact, high-density, RJ-45 connectors and Cat 5e/6 cables make for a compact and efficient wiring configuration, while the use of KVM Adapter Cables to link to the computers permits any combination of PCs, Macs, Sun computers, and serial devices to coexist on the installation. Ports for an external keyboard, monitor, and mouse are provided on the rear panel, permitting you to manage the switch from a local console. There is also an external USB mouse port on the keyboard module, allowing you to use an external mouse, rather than the touchpad. Enhanced features include a Panel Array Mode that displays the video output of up to 8 computers at the same time, and a Message Board that allows logged-in users to conveniently and instantly communicate with one other, regardless of their physical location. The KL1508AiM is a suitable solution for your server room management.Hardware LED illumination light - designed by ATEN to illuminate the keyboard and touchpad to allow visibility in low-light conditions Integrated KVM console with 17 LED-backlit LCD monitor in a Dual Rail housing A single console controls up to 8 computers One bus for remote KVM over IP access Space-saving RJ-45 connectors and Cat 5e/6 cabling KVM adapter cables designed with automatic conversion to allow flexible interface combinations (PS/2, USB, Sun, and serial) to control all computer types Extra console port - manage computers in the LCD KVM switch from an external console (monitor, USB or PS/2 keyboard, and USB or PS/2 mouse) Multiplatform support: PC, Mac, Sun, and Serial Supports external USB mouse Dual Rail housing is slightly less than 1U with top and bottom clearance for smooth operation in 1U of rack space Dual Rail LCD monitor slides independently of the keyboard/touchpad LCD module rotates up to 120 degrees for a more comfortable viewing angle Console lock - enables the console drawer to remain securely locked away in position when not in use LCD power button helps save energy and prolong displays life Daisy chain up to 15 additional KVM switches to control up to 128 computers* Management Up to 64 user accounts and up to 32 concurrent remote logins End session feature: administrators can terminate any running session Adapter ID stores port information allowing administrators to relocate servers to different ports, without having to reconfigure the adapters and switch Port Share Mode allows multiple users to gain access to a server simultaneously Remote power control for attached Power Over the NET devices Integration with ALTUSEN CC2000 Management software Event logging and Windows-based Log Server support Local Log Event Firmware upgradeable IPv6 capableEasy-to-Use Interface Easy computer selection via pushbuttons, Hotkey Mode, OSD (On Screen Display), and Browser-based GUI Local Console, Browser, and AP GUIs offer a unified multi language interface to minimize user training time and increase productivity Multiplatform client support (Windows, Mac OS X, Linux, Sun) Multi-browser supp
