emote users — Someone who logs into the switch over the net from a
location that is remote from the switch.
Local Console — The keyboard mouse, and monitor are connected
directly to the switch.
User’s Point of View
Local client users — Someone who’s performing operations on the
servers connected to the switch that is remote from him.
emote servers — Servers that are remote from the local client user.
Monospaced Indicates text that you should key in.
[ ]

Chapter 1
Introduction
Overview
The KL1108V and KL1116V switches are IP-based KVM control units that
allow both a local and remote operator to monitor and access multiple servers
from a single KVM (keyboard, video, mouse) console. The KL1108V /
KL1116V can control up to 8 / 16 servers in a single-stage setup, or expanded
to control as many as 128 / 256 servers in a cascaded installation.
Each KL1108V / KL1116V consists of an integrated LED-backlit LCD
monitor, keyboard, and touchpad in a 1U rack-mountable retractable sliding
housing. The similarities and differences among the models in the KL1108V /
KL1116V series are shown in the following table:
The LCD and keyboard/touchpad modules slide independently of each other.
To maximize space in your data center, the keyboard/touchpad module slides
back to "hide away" when not in use, while the thin profile LCD monitor
rotates back — flush against the rack — allowing convenient monitoring of
computer activity.
The KL1108V / KL1116V features IP-based connectivity that allows one local
and one remote operator to concurrently monitor and access the computers on
your installation. Through TCP/IP, the KL1108V / KL1116V can be accessed
from anywhere via LAN, WAN, or Internet — whether it is down the hall,
down the street, or halfway around the world.
Compact, high-density, J-45 connectors and CAT 5e/6 cables make for a
simple wiring configuration, with the flexibility to use PS/2 and USB KVM
adapter cables in any combination to link various types of computers,
including PCs, Macs, Sun computers, and serial devices.

For added convenience, ports for an external keyboard, monitor (DVI-D or
VGA), and mouse are provided on the rear panel — permitting you to manage
the switch from a local console. There is also an external USB mouse port on
the keyboard module, allowing you to use an external mouse, rather than the
touchpad.
Access and switching to any computer connected to the installation from the
local console is easily accomplished by means of a powerful menu-driven OSD
(On Screen Display). A convenient Auto Scan feature also permits automated
monitoring of all connected computers by switching views from one to another
at set intervals.
emote operators connect to the KL1108V / KL1116V via its IP address from
anywhere on the LAN, WAN, or Internet via their browsers. Once they
successfully log in, they can take control using either the Windows Client or
Ja a Client utility. Inclusion of a Java-based client ensures that the KL1108V
/ KL1116V is able to work with most operating systems.
System administrators can handle a multitude of tasks smoothly and efficiently
remotely — from installing and running GUI applications, to BIOS-level
troubleshooting, routine monitoring, concurrent maintenance, system
administration, rebooting, and even pre-booting functions.

emote operators can exchange keyboard, video and mouse signals with the
computers attached to the KL1108V / KL1116V just as if they were present
locally and working on the equipment directly.
Enhanced features include a Panel Array Mode that displays the video output
of up to 8 (KL1108V) or 16 (KL1116V) computers at the same time, and a
Message Board that allows logged in users to conveniently and instantly
communicate with one other — no matter where in the world they actually are.
The unit can be integrated into ATEN’s CC2000 Management Software.
CC2000 puts administrators in complete control of remote data centers and
branch offices no matter where they are in the world — allowing them to
remotely monitor and control all devices on a network. efer to ATEN’s
website to get more information on CC2000.
The LCD KVM over IP Switch is compatible with ATEN’s KVM over IP
Console Station, the KA82 series. The KA82 series is a hardware-based,
standalone console solution that can centrally manage multiple KN devices. It
is especially suitable for environments where a PC is inaccessible. efer to
ATEN’s website to get more information on the KVM over IP Console Station.
The KL1108V / KL1116V now also supports web-friendly KVM-over-IP
access with its Web Client Viewer functionality. Being fully compatible with
major web browsers, the Web Client Viewer runs directly off the browser
without Java or browser plug-in installation. Like the Java or Windows plug-
in counterparts, the Web Client Viewer allows users to remotely access all the
servers and PCs connected to the KL1108V / KL1116V, but benefiting from a
more simultaneous, direct access option for management and operation.
For added convenience to management, an iPad application — PadClient, is
also available. It has an intuitive interface that makes real-time access and
control of the servers/computers simple and mobile. efer to ATEN’s website
to get more information on PadClient.
Setup is fast and easy — plugging cables into their appropriate ports is all that
is entailed. There is no need to get involved in complex installation routines or
to be concerned with incompatibility problems.
Since the KL1108V / KL1116V’s firmware is upgradable over the Internet,
you can stay up-to-date with the latest functionality improvements simply by
downloading firmware updates from our website as they become available.
With its advanced security features, the KL1108V / KL1116V is the fastest,
most reliable, and cost-effective way to remotely access and manage widely
distributed multiple computer installations.
