The ATEN KN Series 16-Port KVM IP Switch Dual Power LANfrom ATEN KN Series 16-Port KVM IP Switch Dual Power LANsupports HD resolution video, FIPS 140-2 with level 1 security standards, and virtual media transmissions at twice the speed. The KN series provides local console and remote over IP access for users to monitor and access their entire data center over a network. In addition, it offers out-of-band access with external modem support for BIOS level troubleshooting when the network is down.

With dual on-board NICs and dual power supplies, the KN series are built for reliability, to ensure 24/7 availability of remote access to all servers. KN2116VA can be integrated into the CC2000 Management Software. The CC2000 puts administrators in complete control of remote data centers and branch offices, allowing IT administrators to remotely monitor and control all devices on a network, including blade servers and virtual machines. To help you manage and control an entire data center, ATEN KVM over IP switches support blade servers and chassis.

Thanks to Power Association feature, KVM ports can be associated with ATEN PDU power outlets for power management of servers from the KVM over IP switches' user interface. Additional, the KVM features a message board, Panel Array Mode, Mouse DynaSync, and the Adapter ID.

Q: 4. Thumderbolt to USB 2.0 hub on my MacBook since I use most of the other ports for power and external monitors. I need a KVM switch for KB/mouse because Universal Control stopped working for me. Will this device work if plugged into the USB 2.0 hub with a thunderbolt to USB 2.0 cable?

A: The ATEN US3310 is not designed for use with Thunderbolt ports or Thunderbolt devices, and may not work as intended in this scenario. It may be possible if connected to Thunderbolt generation 3 or higher, but the switch is designed specifically for USB 3.0/USB 3.1 and is not intended for use with a USB 2.0 host connection.

Q: 5. when a pc is connected through this switch, during boot are the motherboard bios screens, shown in the monitor? that is the post report, or the boor menu if called for , the bios itself if called for.............I just returned a Tripp Lite 4 port display port switch that would not display any video until the windows welcome screen which is when the windows video drivers take over...... A switch that will not display the motherboard bios...has no value...Tech support had no comment...these PC worked perfectly with a StarTach switch...so no issue with the PCs

A: Yes, this switch should do the trick. I use this switch for my work laptop, which uses disk encryption and won't boot windows until a password is entered. I also have my desktop machine connected to the switch and see the BIOS splash screen and on occasion I've interrupted the boot process via keyboard (connected to the switch) to modify the BIOS setting. I hope this info helps.

Q: 6. COMPATIBLE WITH MAC?

Q: 9. Would I be able to use this KVM switch to have audio playing out my studio monitors? I use the scarlett 2i2 interface to connect to a pc via USB. Would it be possible to connect both PC towers to the KVM switch and use the same Scarlett USB audio interface to switch playback for the studio (audio) monitors from each pc tower?

A: While the Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 2x2 USB Audio Interface could be connected to multiple PCs using the IOGEAR 2-Port 4K Dual View DisplayPort KVMP Switch with USB 3.0 Hub and Audio, it would not be able to serve as an audio source for two separate software programs running on two PCs at the same time. It could be used with software on one PC and then, if that software is closed or the Scarlett is disconnected from it, could be used again with another software on a separate PC.

Q: 10. Will this KVM switch work with a 5K monitor?

A: While you are able to connect a 5K monitor to the IOGEAR 2-Port 4K Dual View DisplayPort KVMP Switch with USB 3.0 Hub and Audio, the resolution will only be able to hit up to 4K.
