Introduction
Overview
The Altusen KA9233 Combo Graphic Console Module offers secure access to
the servers in a matrix KVM switch from a keyboard, monitor, mouse (KVM)
console or a computer workstation. It provides user-friendly server
management, flexible console interface support, and superior video graphics.
The KA9233 has console ports for both PS/2 and USB keyboards and mice and
an SPHD port for integration with a computer workstation. It enables network
administrators to seamlessly switch between a workstation computer and
servers in the matrix KVM switch. This eliminates the constant need to move
from one workstation to another to manage servers. Moreover, because the
KA9233 can be placed up to 300 meters (980') away from the servers, network
administrators can respond to problems as they arise, not only when they have
time to visit the data center.
An intuitive graphical user interface, the Graphical OSD, features easy-to-use
menus, icons, and shortcut keys to access servers, manage users and groups,
control port access, upgrade firmware versions, and perform many other
administrative functions. Login password protection and three-level user
access control ensure that unauthorized users cannot gain control of the servers
in your matrix KVM switch. The Graphical OSD is platform independent and
does not require you to install any software.
Superior video display resolutions are supported up to 2048 x 1536 for the local
computer and 1024 x 768 for the matrix KVM switch for crisp, clear graphics.
Support for Display Data Channel (DDC) emulation eliminates complex power
on procedures and ensures the highest possible video resolution.
As server densities increase, so does cable bulk. To combat this effect, the
KA9233 uses a single, economical Cat 5 cable to connect to the matrix KVM
switch, greatly reducing cable volume and the overall cost of the installation.
Other useful features include Auto Scan mode to continuously monitor servers,
a log file, free lifetime firmware upgrades, and a 1U rack mount kit.
