Introduction
Overview
The B020-008-17-IP Console KVM Switch with IP Access is a control unit that allows secure access to multiple computers from a single KVM (keyboard, video, and mouse) console. A single B020-008-17-IP can control up to 8 computers. It consists of an integrated LCD monitor, keyboard, and touchpad in a 1U rack-mountable retractable sliding housing.
The LCD and keyboard/touchpad modules slide independently of each other. To maximize space in your data center, the keyboard/touchpad module slides back to "hide away" when not in use, while the thin profile LCD monitor rotates back – flush against the rack – allowing convenient monitoring of computer activity.
The B020-008-17-IP features IP-based connectivity that allows one local operator and multiple remote operators to concurrently monitor and access the computers on your installation. Because the it uses TCP/IP for its communications protocol, the B020-008-17-IP can be accessed from any computer on the LAN, WAN, or Internet – whether that computer is located down the hall, down the street, or halfway around the world.
