The KVM Switch is designed to facilitate the management of server room and data center devices.

Auto Scan provides hands-free monitoring of selected devices at changeable speeds.

Broadcast Mode sends commands from the console to all computers, allowing users to perform operations such as software installations, upgrades, and shutdowns on all computers simultaneously.

Any KVM console can control any type of computer. Mixed combinations (PS/2 & USB) are

supported on both the KVM console and computer sides.

Supports up to one administrator and 10 user accounts.

Port access rights for users are configured on a port-by-port basis.

The switch supports Windows, Mac, Sun, and serial platforms.

Password protection prevents unauthorized access to the installation.

The switch can be installed in a 1 RU system rack, and the installation can take advantage of the internal network wiring built into most modern commercial buildings.

The KVM switch supports automatic ID recognition of the ATEN KVM Cable Adapter KA7000 series (available separately). Using these adapters with an ID means cables do not need to be reconfigured when moved from port to port. Device ID and attributes are stored in the adapter cables, allowing you to hot-swap port connections without having to change the settings.
