8/16-Port IP KVM Switch

1 Introduction

With the innovative IP-based technology, PLANET has turned the traditional KVM switches into true
networking devices. The IKVM-8010 / IKVM-16010 captures digitize and compresses video signal, then
transmits it with keyboard and mouse signals through IP network. Multiple remote sites can monitor the same
PC server simultaneously. With HTTPS/SSL authentication and data encryption, the IKVM-8010 /
IKVM-16010 provide a non-intrusive solution for remote access and control. The remote access and control
software operates on its embedded processors only, but not on mission-critical servers, so that there is no
interference with server operation or decrease on the network performance.
The IKVM-8010 / IKVM-16010 will detect the current video mode of the console automatically; however,
manual fine-tuning also available to receive an optimal video quality. The IKVM-8010 / IKVM-16010 will
accept video streams with a dot clock rate up to 110MHz, therefore, the remote VGA resolution can up to
1600 x 1200 with a frame rate of 60 Hz.
Built-in 8/16-Port KVM switch, user can connect up to 8/16 PCs to IKVM-8010 / IKVM-16010. It can apply to
the IP network and fully control the PCs of any platform through any at-hand browser or just work as a
normal 8/16-Port KVM Switch in local. Supports daisy chain function, user can cascade two IKVM-8010 /
IKVM-16010 to multiple KVM-800 or KVM-1600, and manage this KVM chain with single IP.
