he is connecting to the switch from the Local Console right next to the
switch, or from a Local Client login located half-way around the world.
By Remote, we mean the equipment that connects to the switch via the
Adapter Cables – as in “remote servers.”

Introduction
Overview
The KN2124v / KN2140v / KN4124v / KN4140v / KN2132 / KN4116 /
KN4132 switches are IP-based KVM control units that allow both local and
remote operators to monitor and access multiple computers from a single
console. A single KN4140v can control up to 40 computers, and by cascading
up to 40 compatible 16 port switches, as many as 640 computers can be
controlled on a complete two stage installation.
The switches are differentiated according to the number of buses they support
and the number of KVM ports they provide – as shown in the table below:
Each bus permits a separate user session so that up to three (KN2124v /
KN2140v / KN2132) or five (KN4124v / KN4140v / KN4116 / KN4132)
concurrent independent connections to the local servers can take place.
Since the KVM Over the NETTM switches use TCP/IP for their
communications protocol, they can be accessed via their IP addresses from
anywhere on the LAN, WAN, or Internet – whether the connecting computer
is located down the hall, down the street, orhalf-way around the world. Remote
operators can log in via their browser or make use of stand-alone Windows or
Java GUI applications. Java allows the switches to work with Sun Java
Runtime Environment (JRE) enabled operating systems – ensuring multi-
platform operability. The client software allows operators to exchange
keyboard, video and mouse signals with the computers attached to the KVM
Over the NETTM switches as if they were present locally and working on the
equipment directly.

Up to 32 users can share the remote buses. A Message Board feature allows
them to communicate with each other to facilitate port sharing.
Administrators can handle a multitude of maintenance tasks with ease – from
installing andrunningGUIapplications, toBIOS leveltroubleshooting,routine
monitoring, concurrent maintenance, system administration, rebooting and
even pre-booting functions.
Local console operation is easily accomplished either by entering hotkey
combinations from the keyboard with a full screen GUI display.
Monitoring the installation’s activities couldn’t be easier. An convenient Auto
Scan feature permits automatic switching from port to ports at user-specified
intervals, while the Panel Array Mode can display the video output of up to 40
computers at the same time.
The switches feature RJ-45 connectors allowing them to use CAT 5e cable to
link to the computers. This space-saving innovation means that a full 16, 24,
32 or 40 port switch can be conveniently installed in a 1U system rack, and the
installation can take advantage of the internal network wiring built into most
modern commercial buildings.
Setup is fast and easy; plugging cables into their appropriate ports is all that is
entailed.Becausethe switchintercepts keyboardinputdirectly,thereis noneed
to get involved in complex software installation routines, or to be concerned
with incompatibility problems.
Since the firmware is upgradeable over the Net, you can stay current with the
latest functionality improvements simply by downloading firmware updates
from our website as they become available.

With its advanced security features, the KVM Over the NETTM switch provides
the fastest, most reliable, most cost effective way to remotely access and
manage widely distributed multiple computer installations.
KVM Over the NETTM switches have an Adapter ID function that stores port
information like the adapter ID, OS, keyboard language, adapter name,
operation modes and more, so that when you move a KVM Adapter Cable from
one port to another, the switch recognizes the same adapter cable at the new
location.Also,for greaterease ofusewhen movingthe adapter cableto another
switch, the adapter ID, OS, keyboard language, adapter name, and operation
modes of the port stay with the adapter.
With its advanced virtual media features, the KN2124v / KN2140v / KN4124v
/ KN4140v series of switches let you map DVD/CD drives and other storage
media to a remote server. This function allows you to conduct file transfers,
installs applications and OS patches, and perform diagnostics remotely. You
can upgrade your entire installation from a single remote console located
anywhere in the world.
The KN4140v offers dual power supplies so that if one of the power supplies
fails, the second power supply automatically takes over. In addition to
supporting dual power, the KN4140v guards against power failure from your
server room outlets. If your server room has more than one power source,
connecting the KN4140v power supplies to different power sources is a wise
choice. If one of the server room power supplies loses power, the KN4140v
will automatically adjust the power it draws from the second source to keep
functioning.
The KN2124v/2140v/4124v/4140v models have support for four temperature
sensors that can control up to six fans. The sensors regulate the fans to run at
optimum speed depending on the server room temperature, throttling down
when necessary, using energy more efficiently and prolonging the life of both
the fans and the switch.
The KN2124v/2140v/4124v/4140v models are audio enabled. On the local
unit, speakers and a microphone are supported; while remote units offer
support for speakers only.
