Introduction
Overview
The KN2108 and KN2116 are IP-based KVM control units that allow both
local and remote operators to monitor and access multiple computers from a
single console. For example, a single KN2116 can control up to 16 computers.
By cascading up to 16 compatible KVM switches, up to 256 computers can be
controlled on a complete two stage installation.
Since the KN2108 / KN2116 uses TCP/IP for its communications protocol, it
can be accessed from any computer on the Net - whether that computer is
located down the hall, down the street, or half-way around the world.
Access to any computer connected to the installation from the local console is
easily accomplished either by entering
hotkey combinations from the
keyboard, or by means of a powerful mouse driven 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 KN2108 or KN2116 via its IP address.
Software utilities provided with the switch make remote access smooth and
efficient. A menu driven OSD
Administration function enables system
administrators to 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.
