1. Product Overview
1.1 Introduction
The IP-based KVM (IP-KVM) redirects the local keyboard, mouse and video data to a remote
management console. The operator can safely manage one or many computers locally at
the server site or remotely via a standard internet browser. Securely gain BIOS level
access to systems for maintenance, support or failure recovery over the internet.
The IP-KVM console integrates multiple KVM switches in a 1U height console. It can
control multiple computers with a set of devices including monitor, keyboard and mouse;
saving cost and space by consolidating the hardware to a single device.
The IP-KVM console is fast and easy to install. Simply connect corresponding cables to the
correct ports of the KVM and its module without software configuration. Connect
multiple computers with compact RJ-45 connectors and CAT5e/6/7 cables, transmitting
distance is up to 100M.
