KVM Over the NET™ User Manual
can take advantage of the internal network wiring built into most modern
commercial buildings.
Setup is fast and easy; plugging cables into their appropriate ports is all that is
entailed. Because the switch intercepts keyboard input directly, there is no need
to get involved in complex software installation routines, or to be concerned
with incompatibility problems.
Since the firmware is upgradeable over the Net, you can stay current with the
latest functionality improvements simply by downloading firmware updates
from our website as they become available.
With its powerful security features, the KVM Over the NET™ switch provides
the fastest, most reliable, most cost effective way to remotely access and
manage widely distributed multiple server installations.
The KN1108v / KN1116v switches have an Adapter ID function that stores
port information like the adapter ID, OS, keyboard language, adapter name,
operation modes and more, so that when you move a KVM Adapter Cable from
one port to another, the switch recognizes the same adapter cable at the new
location. Also, for greater ease of use when moving the adapter cable to another
switch, the adapter ID, OS, keyboard language, adapter name, and operation
modes of the port stay with the adapter.
The KN1108v / KN1116v switches also support advanced virtual media
functions, such as mapping USB DVD/CD/hard drives; and other storage
media to a server. Virtual media support allows you to conduct file transfers,
installs applications and OS patches, and perform diagnostics remotely. You
can upgrade your entire installation from a single remote console located
anywhere in the world.
In addition, the KN1108v / KN1116v offers dual IP and dual power supplies
so that if one of the IP or power supplies fails, the second automatically takes
over. In addition to supporting dual power, the KN1108v / KN1116v guards
against power failure from your server room outlets. If your server room has
more than one power source, connecting the KN1108v / KN1116v power
supplies to different power sources is a wise choice. If one of the server room
power supplies loses power, the KN1108v / KN1116v will automatically adjust
the power it draws from the second source to keep functioning.
The KN1108v / KN1116v models are also audio enabled. Microphone and
speakers are supported on the Local Console for the servers; speakers are
supported on the remote users' computers.
