Description

16-Port 17in. Dual Rail CAT5 LCD KVM over IP Switch

• Exclusive LED illumination light – designed by ATEN to illuminate the keyboard and touchpad to allow visibility in low-light conditions
• Integrated KVM console with 17? or 19? LED-backlit LCD monitor in a Dual Rail housing
• A single console controls up to 16 computers
• Daisy chain up to 15 additional KVM switches to control up to 256 computers*

The KL1516Ai Dual Rail LCD KVM Switch is a control unit that allows secure access up to 16 computers from a single KVM (keyboard video and mouse) console. It consists of an integrated LCD monitor keyboard and touchpad in a 1U rack-mountable retractable sliding housing.

The LCD and keyboard/touchpad modules slide independently of each other. To maximize space in your data center the keyboard/touchpad module slides back to “ hide away ” when not in use while the thin profile LCD monitor rotates back – flush against the rack – allowing convenient monitoring of computer activity.

The KL1516Ai features IP-based connectivity that allows local and remote operators to monitor and access the computers on your installation. Because it uses TCP/IP for its communications protocol the KL1516Ai can be accessed from any computer on the LAN WAN or Internet – whether that computer is located down the hall down the street or halfway around the world

Compact high-density RJ-45 connectors and Cat 5e/6 cable make for a compact efficient wiring configuration while the use of KVM Adapter Cables to link to the computers permits any combination of PCs Macs Sun computers and serial devices to coexist on the installation.

For added convenience ports for an external keyboard monitor and mouse are provided on the rear panel – permitting you to manage the switch from a local console. There is also an external USB mouse port on the keyboard module allowing you to use an external mouse rather than the touchpad.

Enhanced features include a Panel Array Mode™ that displays the video output of up to 16 computers at the same time and a Message Board that allows logged in users to conveniently and instantly communicate with one other – no matter where in the world they actually are. The KL1516Ai is an ideal solution for your server room management.
