Introduction
Overview
The KL9108 and KL9116 Dual Rail LCD KVM Switches are control units that
allow secure access to multiple computers from a single KVM (keyboard,
video, and mouse), console. A single KL9108 or KL9116 can control up to 8
or 16 computers, respectively. They consist of an integrated LCD monitor,
keyboard, and touchpad in a 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 KL9108 / KL9116 features IP-based connectivity that allows one local
operator and multiple remote operators to concurrently monitor and access the
computers on your installation. Because the it uses TCP/IP for its
communications protocol, the KL9108 / KL9116 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.
