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 KH88 KVM switches from its KVM ports,
up to 128 computers can be controlled on a complete installation.
Since the switches use TCP/IP for their communications protocol, they 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.
