Aten KL1508AiM 8-Port 17" Dual Rail Cat5 LCD KVM Over IP Switch

With the KL1508AiM 8-Port 17" Dual Rail Cat5 LCD KVM Over IP Switch, you gain secure, efficient, and user-friendly control over up to 8 computers from a single KVM (keyboard, video, and mouse) console. This high-quality device features an integrated LED-backlit LCD monitor, keyboard, and touchpad, all housed within a 1U rack-mountable retractable sliding unit, making it a space-saving solution for your server room or data center.

The unique dual rail design allows the LCD and keyboard/touchpad modules to slide independently, providing flexibility and convenience. When not in use, the keyboard/touchpad module can be tucked away, while the slim LCD monitor can rotate back, flush against the rack, for unobtrusive monitoring of computer activity.

The KL1508AiM stands out with its IP-based connectivity, enabling both local and remote operators to monitor and access the connected computers. Leveraging TCP/IP as its communication protocol, this device can be accessed from any computer on the LAN, WAN, or Internet, providing control whether you're in the next room or across the globe.

The use of compact, high-density RJ-45 connectors and Cat5e/6 cable ensures an efficient wiring configuration. The inclusion of KVM Adapter Cables allows a mix of PCs, Macs, Sun computers, and serial devices to coexist on the installation. Additional ports for an external keyboard, monitor, and mouse are provided, offering the flexibility to manage the switch from a local console.

Enhanced features include a Panel Array Mode for simultaneous display of video output from up to 16 computers, and a Message Board for instant communication between logged-in users, regardless of their location. The KL1508AiM also supports up to 64 user accounts and 32 concurrent remote logins, making it a robust solution for managing multiple users and sessions.

The KL1508AiM is equipped with advanced security features, including remote authentication support, flexible encryption design, and IP/MAC Filter support for enhanced security protection. The Virtual Remote Desktop feature allows for adjustable video quality and video tolerance, full-screen or sizable and scalable Virtual Remote Desktop, and an on-screen keyboard with multi-language support.

The KL1508AiM 8-Port 17" Dual Rail Cat5 LCD KVM Over IP Switch is a reliable, durable, and efficient solution for your server room management needs, offering a blend of functionality, security, and convenience.
