Convenience and space
saving have long been the major concerns
for all kinds of equipment room management
solutions. The ATEN "LCD KVM &
Remote Control Solution", mainly comprising
the LCD KVM and the remote management devices,
provides the user with more convenient use
and effective space saving, as well as increased
efficiency in equipment room management.
Product Features
The "LCD KVM & Remote Control
Solution" kit comprises:
- KL0116 x 1
- CN6000 x 1
- KA9250 x 1
Via combination of above components, users
are enabled to configure their equipment
room with ease based on practicality and
convenience. These products have the following
features:
KL0116--- 16-port LCD
KVM Switch
KL0116 is a 16-port LCD KVM Switch. The
term "LCD KVM" refers to the hardware
that integrates all the monitor, keyboard
and mouse functions of the console into
a single set of LCD, keyboard and mouse
with a KVM switch. The design concept of
such a product is for satisfying the requirements
in the equipment room. By adding ingenious
mechanism designs to the KVM functions,
the user is enabled to build a KVM console
without the need of purchasing any additional
monitor, keyboard or mouse. Owing to the
1U-scale of the resulting KVM-console integration,
plus with the folding design of the monitor,
you just need to pull it out from a drawer
when required; when not used, the set can
be compacted into a 19" rack effectively
saving the rack space.
A single KL0116 is capable of connecting
16 PS/2-interfaced servers; by way of daisy
chain connection, compatible KVM switches
(KH0116) can be linked in series for expanding
manageable servers, with a maximum of 31
KVM switches connecting up to 512 servers.
The set integrates a 15" LCD, 1024x768
(250 cd/m2), XGA, offering exquisite video
quality, with a keyboard and a touch-panel-mouse.
The set is user friendly, Plug-N-Play supported,
requires no additional software, and provides
OSD and Hotkey functions; it provides for
all the port-switching requirements. Furthermore,
aside from controlling all the connected
servers with the integrated LCD KVM, a KA9250
– the KVM remote extension – can be incorporated
to link a user beyond a distance of up to
500 feet for controlling the servers.
KL0116 also supports hot-plugging. The
user can add or remove server mainframes
freely without turning off the KVM console;
the OSD "port-connection menu"
will automatically display the number of
connected servers, add or remove, and rename
according to the adding-in or removal of
server connection. The system also provides
Auto Scan function of which the user can
setup a scanning interval (1-255 sec.) for
each port; system will scan the connected
servers accordingly, so as to provide the
user with a flexible control over use status
of each server. Via OSD inspection, versatile
display modes are available for meeting
with user's particular monitoring requirements;
this includes List All mode, Power On mode,
Quick View mode, and Power On + Quick View
mode. As for the management, KL0116 provides
for user account and password for the system
Administrator, as well as other functions
such as self specified Time Out for automatic
log-out protection, port name-editing by
the administrator, and so on. It also supports
firmware upgrade; users are welcome to download
latest Firmware editions from the company
website, so as to ensure the optimal functionality
and investment effectiveness of the entire
system.
KA9250--- Extended KVM
for remote control
KA9250 is a remote control device that
connects to the remote control port of KL0116
via a Cat. 5 cable and supports an extension
of up to 500 feet. It comprises a set of
connectors for connecting the remote PS/2
keyboard, mouse, and monitor. Besides a
1280 x 1024 XGA resolution, it also provides
automatic signal compensation which adjusts
the video quality automatically.
CN6000---- Remote Management
Solution
CN-6000 is a single-port "remote KVM/server
control" device for enhancing remote
control functions of a KVM Switch. Via a
CN-6000, the user is enabled to link with
a computer/server or a KVM Switch, for controlling
the Internet/LAN-linked server or KVM from
a remote location.
- Compact and light-weight design, 0U
form factor for next-to-none rack occupancy,
creates the maximum area-effectiveness
of an equipment room.
- Industrial TCP/IP protocol is used for
the user to manage from anywhere in the
world, with the convenience of Remote
IP Management, as long as the Internet
service is available.
- Supports BIOS level access; direct control
of BIOS of the PS/2 Server can be achieved
through Internet Protocol (IP). Although
products similar to the remote control
software exist in the market place, they
require installation of the program in
each computer and can only be applicable
when the OS is initiated. By contrast,
this product requires no software installation
and is directly capable of BIOS level
control.
- Uses UTP cables, supports twisted-pair
type cables of CAT5, CAT5e, CAT6 and CAT7;
upgrades company IT level by the compatibility
of more advanced twisted-pair cables.
- The system employs RSA 1024bit advanced
safety encryption as well as DES 56bit,
AES 256bit, and SSL 128bit data encrypt
systems; furthermore, functions such as
IP filter, MAC filter, Admin Station Filter,
Java Program Name, etc. are also provided
for ensuring system safety control by
the system administrator.
- Firmware can be upgraded directly through
IP network, facilitating convenient upgrading
without the need of additional line connections
as well as maintaining the system in an
optimal use condition.
- Provides event log function for recording
system activities. To the system administrator,
the event log provides for relative information
concerning the system operation in addition
to supervision of the status of use.
- It provides multiple login with a maximum
of 16 users and a maximum registration
of 64 users; to a system administrator,
this means additional control conveniences
and the capability of providing sufficient
user accounts to different users.
- Supports all the operation systems:
DOS, UNIX, and so on.
Descriptions of Use
- A single KL0116 unit can connect up
to 16 servers via its CPU Ports; should
the user require more server control in
the equipment room, optional KH0116 can
be used by using the serial port connecting
up to 31 KVM switches for controlling
up to 512 servers.
- Connecting the KL0116 with the KA9250
provides for the possibility of remote
control from a distance as far as 150m.
In this solution, it allows connection
of the CN6000 with the KA9250, for supporting
functions of remote management via TCP/IP.
- Further more, CN6000 also provides
a Local Console connection for connecting
a PS/2 keyboard, a mouse and a monitor.
- On completion of installation of the
KL0116 and CN6000 according to the relevant
instructions, remote control of the KL0116
and of the servers connected to the rear
end of the serial KVM link can be activated
via the LAN and Internet connection.
Application environment
1. Basic setup of the
small-to-medium enterprise equipment rooms
For KVM management solutions in equipment
rooms, ATEN's LCD KVM and remote control
solution provides an integral range of applications
covering the KVM console that provides serial
link of servers for management of multiple
servers from a single terminal; the basic
configuration of controlling devices such
as the keyboard, mouse and monitor; or the
setup that extends the control to meters
away by KVM extenders; and of course the
IP remote control solutions that have already
become the mainstream of today's market
place. In a small-to-medium enterprise equipment
room, the configuration normally involves
a small number of racks; by purchasing this
product, the user can easily accomplish
the basic requirements in the equipment
room, which include devices for the control
terminal, KVM, KVM extension, and the IP
remote solution. It is also likely the case
that all the requirements are satisfied
in a one-stop procurement. Furthermore,
the KL0116 KVM switch system in combination
can also provide serial extension functions,
providing even more flexible scalabilities
in configuring enterprise equipment rooms.
2. Zoning management of
medium-to-large equipment rooms
Medium-to-large equipment rooms normally
comprise multiple racks and mainframes with
an extensive occupation of the premises;
ATEN's LCD KVM and remote control solutions
are capable of providing the zoning management
functions of the medium-to-large equipment
rooms; each zone can be configured with
a set of this product, with the integral
basic configuration of the zone assisting
the enterprise in systematical planning
of expansion. Since each zone is provided
with the CN6000 IP remote management solution,
the user is allowed for remote connection
of servers of each zone via TCP/IP, which
in turn, virtually links together all the
servers in the separate zones. |
