Overview

The KN2116VA / KN4116VA / KN2124VA / KN4124VA / KN1132V /
KN2132VA / KN4132VA / KN8132V / KN2140VA / KN4140VA / KN4164V
/ KN8164V switches are IP-based KVM control units that allow both local and
remote operators to monitor and access multiple servers from a single console.
This series of KVM over IP Switches can control up to 16/24/32/40/64 servers,
and by cascading compatible KVM switches, as many as 512 servers can be
controlled on a complete two-stage installation. In addition, up to 4 KVM over
IP Switches can be centralized and controlled by a single CM1164A or
CM1284. Each KVM over IP switch features superior video quality (Full HD
resolution of 1920 x 1200), FIPS 140-2 with level 1 security standards and
virtual media transmissions at twice the speed. The KN series provides local
console and remote over IP access for users to monitor and access their entire
data center over a network. In addition, it offers out-of-band access with
external modem support for BIOS-level troubleshooting when the network is
down.
These KN series of KVM over IP Switches are differentiated according to the
number of buses they support and the number of KVM ports they provide – as
shown below:
