ATEN Matrix KVM Switches are designed for modern data centers that require reliable, high security access and
control of multiple servers. With non-blocked access and flexible expansion support, Matrix KVM switches offer
high quality video sessions for secure, real-time control of your entire data center devices.
With automatic skew compensation and Auto Signal Compensation (ASC) techniques, Matrix KVM switches
provide greatly enhanced video quality via Cat 5e/6 cabling – 1280x1024 @60Hz for up to 300 meters. The
industry’s first full screen Graphical User Interface offers a tree view list of installed devices – providing smooth
navigation and convenient access and control – not only saving on training time and costs; but increasing user
efficiency, as well.
The KM0932/KM0532 is the first Matrix KVM Switch to offer both audio and virtual media features. Being audio
enabled, the sound output and beeps from the servers allow administrators to identify and troubleshoot system
problems easily. The sound capability is also ideal for presentation facilities, or studio applications. The Virtual
Media function allows USB storage devices to be shared among all the servers – allowing operators to perform
file transfers or install applications and OS patches from a single console – reducing down-time and saving
maintenance costs.
Servers can be power controlled remotely when the Matrix KVM Switch is used in conjunction with ALTUSEN’s
PN0108 Power Over the NET™ power management device. Its Power Association function enables the switch’s
KVM ports to be associated with a PN0108's power outlets – allowing power management of the server
attached to the port from the switch’s interface. If a server has a dual power supply, secondary power association
support lets you associate a second outlet port and synchronize the operation for both power supplies.
The Matrix KVM switch is designed with dual power supplies, to minimize downtime and offer 24/7 reliability
to ensure the highest level of availability for your server room or data date center. With high availability, high
reliability, high integration, and high security, an ATEN Matrix KVM Switch is the best solution for large server
rooms and data centers.

Benefits
Cost Effective
Matrix KVM Switches allow 5 or 9 consoles to manage up to 32 target devices, while
only taking up 1U of rack space. They also simplify cabling requirements and reduce
cost by using Cat 5e/6 cable to connect console modules and KVM Adapter Cables.
This not only permits extending the distance between console and servers up to 300
meters with 1280x1024@60Hz, but also offers an independent configuration for
secure access, which is especially ideal for the security concerns associated with large
server rooms and data centers.
Graphical User Interface
The Matrix KVM Switch offers an intuitive, full screen Graphical UI for both Console
and Browser-based sessions. The composite integrated tree view of all ports offers
convenient navigation and access.

Dual Power Supply
Dual Power supply operation provides backup redundancy and reliability – ensuring
that down-time is kept at a minimum. Should one of the power supplies become
unavailable, the other will take over in order to keep the system functioning normally.
Power Association
Used in conjunction with ALTUSEN’s Power Over the NET™ power management
device, you can associate a Matrix KVM Switch’s port with a PDU’s power outlet, and
then manage the power operation of a server from the switch’s interface – a single
interface point. It also enables you to associate a second outlet port if the server has
a dual power supply, and lets you synchronize the operation for both power supplies.
In this way, Power Association reduces maintenance time and increases management
efficiency
Flexible Scalability
Matrix KVM Switches can be daisy chained, cascaded, or both in tandem – flexible
expansion configurations allows up to 9 consoles to control thousands of servers.
Add consoles and servers a step at a time to match your company’s growth. Daisy
chaining KM0032 switches offers a further cost-saving configuration, since the
use of dedicated chain ports allow all of the switch's KVM ports to be utilized for
server connections – none of them need to be used for cascading. Your prior KVM
switch*investment is protected, since those switches can also be cascaded.

Dual Root Configuration
for Console Expansion
The advanced Dual Root function allows you to link two KM0932 switches to
achieve an 18 console configuration – letting you to expand the number of
consoles flexibly to fit your requirements. It’s an ideal solution for applications that
utilize multiple video displays, such as large data centers.
Non-blocked Access
All consoles connected to a master switch have simultaneous access to any server
on the same level, as well as having independent access to any server on the
installation.
Superior Video Quality
Matrix KVM Switches provide high video quality – 1280x1024 @60Hz up to 300
meters. The video signals are transmitted via Cat 5e/6 cable and maintain real-time
and true video quality. Auto Signal Compensation (ASC), assures optimum video
resolution over greater distances. In addition, an automatic skew compensation
function corrects color phase and timing errors that occur over long distance
transmissions – making a Matrix KVM Switch an excellent choice for video intensive
applications.
Port Access Control via
RS-232 Port
Each of the Console Modules has a built-in RS-232 port. Administrators can
establish a serial terminal login to the Console Module in order to control the KVM
port access for all consoles connected to switch – any console can be assigned to
access any KVM port from a single interface point. This function is extremely useful
in large data centers where the display of all the consoles can be projected onto a
wall for easy viewing of all operations, and the entire installation can be monitored
on a port-by-port basis
Audio enabled
The Matrix KVM Switch supports audio functions for multimedia-capable devices
connected with audio-capable adapter cables. Sound output and beeps from the
servers can be heard on the console’s speaker – allowing administrators to identify
and troubleshoot system problems at an early stage, minimizing repair costs.
Adapter ID
TheAdapterIDFunctionstoresportinformationsuchastheAdapterID,OS,
keyboard language, adapter name, operation modes, etc. It enables administrators
to relocate servers to different ports without having to reconfigure the adapters or
change the user authorization settings of the KVM switch.
