Your KL9108 / KL9116 investment is protected by an included Firmware
Upgrade Utility . You can stay current with the latest functionality
improvements by downloading firmware update files from our Website as they
become available, and using the utility to quickly and conveniently perform the
upgrade.
Access to any computer connected to the installation from the local console is
easily accomplished by means of a powerful mouse driven graphical OSD (On
Screen Display) menu system. A convenient
Auto Scan feature also permits
automatic scanning and monitoring of the activities of all computers running
on the installation one by one.
Remote consoles connect to the KL9108 / KL9116 via its IP address. Software
utilities are provided with the KL9108 / KL9116 that make remote access
smooth and efficient. System 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-booting functions - all from the
remote console.
Remote operators can log in from anywhere on the LAN, WAN, or Internet via
their browsers. Once they successfully log in, operators can take control using
either the
Windows Client or Java Client utility. Inclusion of a Java-based
client ensures that the KL9108 / KL9116 is platform independent, and is able
to work with all operating systems.
The client software allows operators to exchange keyboard, video and mouse
signals with the computers attached to the KL9108 / KL9116 just as if they
were present locally and working on the equipment directly.
With the KL9108 / KL9116's Panel Array feature, the video output of up to
8/16 computers can be displayed at the same time.
The Message Board allows widely separated users to conveniently and
instantly communicate with one other. It also includes features that allow users
to take control of share ports.
The KL9108 / KL9116 features high density 15-pin KVM port connectors
instead of the usual 25-pin connectors. This space-saving innovation allows a
full 8/16 port switch to be conveniently installed in one unit of system rack
space.
Setup is fast and easy - plugging cables into their appropriate ports is all that is
entailed. Because the KL9108 / KL9116 intercepts keyboard input directly,
there is no need to get involved in complex installation routines or to be
concerned with incompatibility problems.
