1.. Product Overview

The NetCommander IP extends your KVM (keyboard, video, and mouse) from any computer or server over TCP/IP via LAN, WAN, or Internet connection, and comes in multiple configurations: NetCommander 216 IP (B072-016-IP2), NetCommander 232 IP (B072-032-IP2), NetCommander 416 IP (B072-016-IP4), and NetCommander 432 IP (B072-032-IP4). The first digit of the number in the product description represents the number of remote users, and the second and third digits represent the number of server ports. Functionally these KVMs are all the same. The only difference between them is in the number of remote users that can simultaneously access the KVM, and the number of server ports. For example, the NetCommander 216 IP (B072-016-IP2) has 16 Server ports, and allows simultaneous access to up to 2 remote users. In addition to the multiple remote users, one local user can simultaneously access the KVM.
