Benefits

The benefits of the IP Console Switch include:
•
Significant reduction of KVM cable volume by using an Interface Adapter and
single unshielded twisted pair (UTP) CAT5 cabling
•
Facilitation of KVM access in higher server density environments because of an
increase in the number of ports available
•
KVM access through network connection
— No special software or drivers are required on the attached computers,
including the host.
— Users access the unit and all attached systems through Ethernet from a user
running the IP Console Viewer.
— User can be located anywhere a valid network connection exists.
•
Integration with existing HP and Compaq KVM switches, adding IP access
NOTE: The HP IP Console Switch is not compatible with HP classic analog
