Control as Many as 16 Computers or Servers from Anywhere in the World
This NetDirector® Cat5e KVM over IP switch provides BIOS-level access to as many as 16 computers and/or servers directly, including blade servers, from a single monitor, USB keyboard and USB mouse (and up to 128 computers indirectly using the cascade option). Dual redundant C14 power inlets (cords are included) keep KVM control intact in case one power supply fails. A Laptop USB Console (LUC) port allows direct connection of a laptop for easy console operation of the B064-016-02-IPH.
Simple Network Control That Gives You More Flexibility
The B064-016-02-IPH eases multi-server management in small to large enterprise data centers, as well as applications with multiple or remote users accessing equipment. Built-in IP capability allows up to three users (one local and two remote) to access the network independently and simultaneously. An optional dial-in connection (modem port) is provided to ensure access in situations when the KVM switch is not available over the primary network. You may also select a connected computer using on-console pushbuttons, GUI (graphical user interface), OSD (on-screen display) or keyboard hotkey commands. An LED per KVM port indicates when a computer is connected to the port, when it is powered on and when it is selected.
High-Resolution On-Screen Display Offers Multi-Language Support
HDMI and VGA ports with high-resolution video up to 1920 x 1200 (at 60 Hz) with 24-bit color depth provide a GUI with management tools, including an event log, auto-scanning and panel array mode. Both ports may be in use at the same time. The OSD may be set to display in English, German, Russian, Japanese, traditional Chinese or simplified Chinese.
Supports Both IPv4 and IPv6 Addresses
The B064-016-02-IPH supports IPv4, Link Local IPv6 Address and IPv6 Stateless Autoconfiguration protocols. You may set the IP address manually or have it automatically assigned via DHCP server (the default method).
Heightened Security for Every Connection
Management software is Java-free to help prevent vulnerabilities. Three levels of pre-defined user access (including fundamental BIOS access) allow you to control who gains access to connected servers/computers. Remote authentication support is provided via RADIUS, LDAP, LDAPS and Active Directory. The B064-016-02-IPH also incorporates advanced encryption technologies: 1024-bit RSA, 56-bit DES, 256-bit AES and 128-bit SSL. It also supports high-grade FIPS 140-2 level 1 security standards that use an embedded FIPS 140-2 certified OpenSSL cryptographic module.
Network-Wide Storage Media Access
Three USB ports are provided on the front panel for use with Virtual Media or USB peripheral devices. Virtual Media capability allows any computer connected to the KVM via a B055-Series server interface unit to access DVD/CD drives, flash drives and other storage media from a remote computer, as if it were directly connected. This allows administrators to perform file transfers, install software and perform diagnostics across a network.
