This NetDirector Cat5 KVM switch is the smart solution for controlling multiple computers and servers in a complex, demanding IT environment. The B064-008-01-IPG provides complete control of up to8 computers and/or servers directly, including blade servers, from a single monitor, USB keyboard and USB mouse. Redundant dual power supplies confirm the unit will continue running in the event one power supply fails, ensuring reliability 24/7.A Laptop USB Console (LUC) port allows direct connection of a laptop for easy console operation of the KVM switch.

The B064-008-01-IPG offers a comprehensive, cost-effective network management solution that installs in 1U of space in an EIA-standard 19-inch rack using the included hardware. No server-resident software is required, so server performance and reliability are never compromised. Flash-upgradable firmware over an Ethernet network fine-tunes compatibility with emerging standards.

The B064-008-01-IPG supports all major server platforms and VT100-based serial devices. Because compatibility is based on common hardware standards, rather than system software dependencies, almost any platform can be accommodated.

This Cat5 KVM switch is designed to ease multi-server management in data centers, server rooms and other high-density environments. Built-in IP capability allows up to two users - one local and one remote - to access the network independently and simultaneously. An optional dial-in connection (modem port) is provided to ensure access in situations when the KVM switch is not available over the primary network. You may also select a connected computer using on-console pushbuttons, GUI (graphical user interface), OSD (on-screen display) or keyboard hotkey commands. An LED per KVM port indicates when a computer is connected to the port, when it is powered on and when it is selected.

The advanced OSD with high-resolution video up to 1920 x 1200 at 60Hzwith 24-bit color depth provides a graphical user interface with management tools, including custom port labeling, auto-scanning and panel array mode. The OSD may be set to display in English, German, Russian, Japanese, traditional Chinese and simplified Chinese.

PS/2and USB console ports are included, though only one keyboard and mouse may be connected at a time.

The B064-008-01-IPG supports IPv4, Link Local IPv6 Address and IPv6 Stateless Auto configuration protocols. You may set the IP address manually or have it automatically assigned via DHCP server (the default method).

The B064-008-01-IPG offers three levels of password protection (super administrator, administrator and user) to prevent unauthorized persons from gaining access to connected servers/computers. Remote authentication support is provided via RADIUS, LDAP, LDAPS and Active Directory. The B064-008-01-IPG also incorporates advanced encryption technologies: 1024-bit RSA, 56-bit DES, 256-bit AES and 128-bit SSL. Supports high grade security FIPS 140-2 level 1 security standards.

Virtual Media capability allows any computer connected to the KVM via a B055-001-USB-V2, B055-001-UDP, B055-001-UDV or B055-001-UHD server interface unit to access DVD/CD drives, flash drives and other storage media from a remote computer, as if it was directly connected. Three USB ports are provided on the front panel for use with Virtual Media or USB peripheral devices.

Temperature sensors automatically increase or decrease the speed of the unit's fans as necessary to ensure efficient cooling.
