IOGEAR GCS1816i 19" Rack Mount 16-Port IP Based KVM Switch Kit with 4x PS/2 and 12x USB KVM Cable

16-Port IP Based KVM
The Iogear GCS1816i is an IP-based KVM switch that allows both local and remote operators to monitor and access multiple computers. Remote users access the switches over the Internet through a web browser using TCP/IP protocol. GCS1816i supports up to 64 user accounts and allows 32 concurrent user logins for a single-bus computer access. The Message Board, a built-in feature that resembles an Internet chat program, lets users communicate with each other. The ability to exchange information in real time allows users to manage the KVM switch and connected computers in a smooth and efficient manner.

The GCS1816i features many security tools such as the 128-bit SSL encryption for browser access and RC4 128-bit encryption for secure data transmission. GCS1816i also supports third party authentication such as RADIUS, LDAP, LDAPS and MS Active Directory. In addition, IP and Mac filters provide added security against unauthorized access. The Log Server, a Windows-based administrative utility, records all the events that take place on the GCS816i and writes them to a searchable database. Once logged in to GCS1816i, users can manage the computers via the virtual remote desktop window. Mouse DynaSync optimizes the remote and local cursors synchronization.

Additional PS/2 and USB KVM Cables
This kit includes an additional 3 PS/2 cables (1 x 6ft, 2 x 10ft) and 11 USB KVM cables (5 x 6ft, 6 x 10ft). Their custom-made cables are designed to provide the highest signal capacity with the lowest signal loss. This important technology produces the highest quality video output - even after long distance transmission or in the most electronically noisy environments such as server cabinets. Iogear's premium custom-made KVM cables guarantee optimum signal integrity for high-grade server needs. The keyboard and mouse cables are made of double-sealed 22-gauge wire and are neatly wrapped with a heavy-duty video cable for simplified connections.
