Each bus permits a separate user session so that up to three (1 Local; 2 Remote)
or five (1 Local; 4 Remote) concurrent independent connections to the attached
servers can take place.

Since the switches use TCP/IP for their communications protocol, they can be
accessed via their IP addresses from anywhere on the LAN, WAN, or Internet
– whether the connecting computer is located down the hall, down the street,
or half-way around the world. Remote operators can log in via their browser or
make use of stand-alone Windows or Java GUI applications. Java allows the
switches to work with JRE (Java Runtime Environment) enabled operating
systems – ensuring multi-platform operability.
The client software allows operators to exchange keyboard, video and mouse
signals with the servers attached to the switches just as if they were present
locally and working on the equipment directly.
Up to 32 users can share the switch's buses. A Message Board feature allows
them to communicate with each other to facilitate port sharing.
Administrators can handle a multitude of maintenance tasks with ease – from
installing and running GUI applications, to BIOS level troubleshooting, routine
monitoring, concurrent maintenance, system administration, rebooting and
even pre-boot functions.
Local console operation is easily accomplished by entering hotkey
combinations from the keyboard with a full screen GUI display.
Monitoring the installation's activities couldn't be easier. A convenient Auto
Scan feature permits automatic switching from port to port at user-specified
intervals, while the Panel Array Mode can display the video output of up to 42
servers at the same time.
