Introduction
Overview
The CL5708I / CL5716I Slideaway
TM
LCD KVM over IP Switch is a keyboard,
video, and mouse (KVM) switch integrated with a LCD console that offers
secure access to 8 or 16 attached computers and can be mounted onto a 1U rack
space. It features an independently retractable 17” or 19” LED-backlit LCD
monitor, a keyboard with built-in touchpad, and an external USB mouse
support for added convenience. Additionally, an extra console port is also
provided on the rear panel of the LCD KVM switch, for connection to and
access by an external console (monitor, keyboard, and mouse) station up to 20
meters away.
The CL5708I / CL5716I supports both PS/2 and USB keyboard and mouse
interface for the managed computers, as well as provide USB peripheral device
support to be used with the attached computers.
A single CL5708I / CL5716I can control up to 8 / 16 computers. And as many
as 15 additional compatible KVM switches can be daisy chained to the
CL5708I / CL5716I for management of up to 128 / 256 computers from a
single keyboard, monitor, and mouse console (refer to the Compatible
Products on the product web page for the compatible ATEN KVM switches).
Built with a modular design, the CL5708I / CL5716I’s KVM section can be
detached from the switch section for convenient maintenance and repair.
There are four models in the series as outlined in the following table:

complex installation routines. Access to any computer connected to the
installation is easily accomplished either by entering hotkey combinations
from the keyboard, front panel pushbuttons, or via its powerful, keyboard &
mouse-driven OSD (on-screen display). A convenient Auto Scan feature also
permits automated port switching at set intervals for easy monitoring of all
activities from the managed computers.
There is no better way to save time and money than with a CL5708I / CL5716I
installation. By using the CL5708I / CL5716I’s sliding LCD console to
manage your installation, users can not only eliminate the expense of having to
purchase a separate keyboard, monitor, and mouse for each computer, while
saving all the space and energy costs those extra components would otherwise
use up, save the space that a keyboard, monitor, and mouse would take with a
standard KVM switch, but also eliminate the inconvenience and wasted effort
involved in constantly moving the required consoles from one computer to
another.
