The 8-Port KVM IP Switch with Virtual Media | ATENfrom 8-Port KVM IP Switch with Virtual Media | ATENallows local console access and remote access over IP for operators to monitor their data center using a web-browser. In addition, it offers out-of-band access with external modem support for BIOS-level troubleshooting when the network is down. To facilitate the management and control of entire data centers, this switch supports blade servers and chassis. The switch's KVM ports can be associated with PDU power outlets for power management of servers from the switch's user interface. Also supported is the Control Center Video Session Recorder software, which records all operations made on servers accessed through the KVM-over-IP switch. Every operation and change from BIOS level to logging in, from running software applications to configuring the operating system, is recorded and saved to a secure video file as evidence.

The Virtual Media function enables mapping to storage media on USB, hard disk, and DVD/CD drives located on remote servers, allowing administrators to conduct file transfers, install applications, run OS updates, or perform diagnostics across a network with ease. Additional features and capabilities of this switch include a Message Board, Panel Array Mode, Mouse DynaSync, Adapter ID, and secure dongle-free access to serial-controlled devices including network equipment, Unix servers, Linux servers, Sun servers, and other serial consoles. With dual on-board NICs and dual power supplies, this switch is designed to ensure 24/7 availability of remote access to all server room computers.

Q: 2. I wonder if this device will work normally when I connect my PTZOptics 30X-SDI Gen 2 Live Streaming Broadcast Camera (1080p/60fps) via a converter AJA U-TAP USB 3.0 (3.2 Gen 1) Powered SDI Capture Device?

A: The IOGEAR True 4K 3-Port HDMI Switch (B&H# IOGHSW8431) will switch between three HDMI inputs to put out a single HDMI output. It supports up to True DCI 4K resolution 4096 x 2160p60 and 18Gbps. If you have a source (such as a camera) putting out 1080p by HDMI then this can allow you to select between that an another HDMI source to put out your choice between the two (or up to three) to a single HDMI output.

Q: 3. Can this be mounted on a wall ?

A: The Netgear GS108T-300NAS does not support wall mounting.

Q: 4. I use one of these for our (AVB) audio network, but would it work for an NDI network (Using a separate network)? I'm looking for a POE switch with an ethercon connector for a portable setup (running only 2 Cat6 (or6a) ethernet cables from FOH to stage), one for NDI video and one for AVB audio. (AVB video not an option)

A: The PreSonus SW5E 5-Port AVB Switch with PoE appears to only offer compatibility with AVB products and does not specify compatibility for use with other network protocols such as NDI.

Q: 5. where is this item made?

A: The Netgear GS305E 5-Port Gigabit Managed Switch is made in China.

Q: 6. How quickly does this device switch from one input to another?

A: The IOGEAR True 4K 3-Port HDMI Switch (BH #IOGHSW8431) could take anywhere from a few milliseconds to a few seconds to switch inputs, depending on the type of input and output, as well as the speeds of the cabling.

Q: 7. Does this switch provide PoE (Power over Ethernet) to devices?

A: This switch BH #NEGS108400NS does not do PoE.

Q: 8. Any idea on how far you can run ethernet to power a simple bullet cam using this switch?

A: The standard recommended limit to a single run of Ethernet cable connection is 100m or about 325 feet. As the POE standard can adapt to power requirements, based off the length, as long as your stay below the 100m you should have no problem. I have run connections out over 150 feet with no problems.

Q: 9. Is it wall-mounted?

A: No, you could wall mount it, but I use mine loose behind my tv like it was a roku.

Q: 10. Is this only compatible with Axis equipment? or can this be used as a media converter & switch ?

A: The Axis Communications T8607 Media Converter Switch (24 VDC) can be used with non-AXIS equipment as a media converter and switch.
