Remote Console Switch Features and Benefits

SIP Intelligent Module

The Remote Console Switch also provides SIP intelligent module capability. The SIP module with CAT 5 design dramatically reduces cable clutter, while providing optimal resolution and video settings. The built-in memory of the SIP module simplifies configuration by assigning and retaining unique device names and Electronic ID (EID) numbers for each attached device. The SIP module is powered directly from the device and provides Keep Alive functionality even if the Remote Console Switch is not powered.

PS/2 and USB SIP modules are available allowing direct KVM connectivity to devices. A USB2 virtual media SIP is also available. Each Remote Console Switch has up to 32 Analog Rack Interface (ARI) ports for connecting SIP modules.

Utilizing the SIP module, you can attach additional switches to expand your Remote Console Switch system. This flexibility allows you to add capacity as your data center grows.
