1-Local/Remote Shared Access 8-Port Multi-Interface Cat 5 Dual Rail LCD KVM over IP switch
KL1508Ai
- Exclusive LED illumination light - designed by ATEN to illuminate the keyboard and touchpad to allow visibility in low-light conditions
- Dual Rail – LCD monitor slides independently of the keyboard/touchpad
- One local/remote share access bus –allowing IT administrators to monitor and control up to 8 servers
- Superior Video Quality – supports input video resolutions up to 1920 x 1200 @ 60Hz** up to 30 meters, 1600 x 1200 @ 60Hz up to 40 meters, and 1280 x 1024 @ 75Hz up to 50 meters
The KL1508Ai Dual Rail LCD KVM Switch is a control unit that allows secure access up to 8 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 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 KL1508Ai features IP-based connectivity that allows local and remote operators to monitor and access the computers on your installation. Because it uses TCP/IP for its communications protocol, the KL1508Ai 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.
Compact, high-density, RJ-45 connectors
For added convenience, ports for an external keyboard, monitor, and mouse are provided on the rear panel – permitting you to manage the switch from a local console. There is also an external USB mouse port on the keyboard module, allowing you to use an external mouse, rather than the touchpad.
Enhanced features include a Panel Array Mode™ that displays the video output of up to 8 computers at the same time, and a Message Board that allows logged in users to conveniently and instantly communicate with one other – no matter where in the world they actually are. The KL1508Ai is an ideal solution for your server room management.
Note:
1. The input video resolution of KL1508Ai has been enhanced to Full HD. To distinguish between the
2. The KL1508Ai does not support virtual media even when paired with a virtual media-enabled KVM adapter.
