Overview

The KN4164V / KN8132V / 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. The KN4164V / KN8132V / KN8164V can
control up to 32/64 servers, and by cascading compatible KVM switches, as
many as 512 servers can be controlled on a complete two stage installation.
These V-Series KVM over IP switches provide superior video quality – with
resolutions up to 1920 x 1200, fast virtual media access to connected USB
drives and supports IPS 140-2 level 1 security standards.
The switches in this series are differentiated according to the number of buses
they support and the number of KVM ports they provide – as shown below:

Each bus permits a separate user session so that up to 5 (1 Local; 4 Remote) or
nine (1 Local; 8 Remote) concurrent independent connections to the attached
servers can take place. The diagram below shows how the KN8164V /
KN8132V switches can be connected and accessed locally and remotely.
