4.1Overview

The NetDirector 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. It consists of an integrated LCD monitor, keyboard, and touchpad in a 1U rack-mountable housing. The NetDirector Console KVM Switch with IP Access features dual-rail technology. 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 NetDirector Console KVM Switch with IP Access features IP-based connectivity that allows multiple remote operators to concurrently monitor the computers on your installation. It uses TCP/IP for its communications protocol, allowing it to 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.
