How to set up ATEN Single-port KVM over IP Switches (CN Series) for remote work

Secure Your New Normal with a Direct Hack-proof Connection

The CN9600 provides over-IP capability for remote access to a dedicated PC/server via a direct BIOS-level, hack-proof network connection, as well as visual excellence up to 1920 x 1200 @ 60 Hz at both local and remote consoles by utilizing an FPGA graphics processor. It allows for secured remote access to audio, video, and virtual media, facilitating instant file sharing and system updates over the network without the need for any extra software installation or configuration.

The CN9600 KVM over IP switch is ideal for global organizations and companies with several office locations by bridging local and remote workplaces with a seamless connection without any restriction or loss in productivity. It is a secure and practical solution to help keep businesses afloat during a downturn or global crises.

 

Security Guarded Remote Access, Wherever You Are

The CN9600 provides a direct BIOS-level connection to the dedicated PC/server to allow for instant remote access from different locations without requiring any extra software installation or configuration.

Dual LAN / Power Redundancy

The CN9600 is equipped with dual LAN / power connectivity that strengthens system reliability by maintaining uninterrupted operations during any contingency. Power connectors are fastened with screw locks to ensure robust power failover, and power status can be identified easily via the LED indicators.

 
 

Virtual Media Support for Prompt System Updates

The CN9600 enables authorized virtual media support to run file applications and software installations over the network, and this is especially useful for diagnosing and troubleshooting network and BIOS issues, as well as performing software updates and patches to keep your system up-to-date.

Applications

The CN9600 is ideally suited for use in control rooms and server rooms of diverse industries, as well as work-from-home scenarios.

Hack-proof Remote Access Solution in Action

Unlike third-party solutions, such as RDP (Remote Desktop Protocol) and VNC (Virtual Network Computing), a KVM over IP switch does not require any additional driver/software and can operate independently of a functional operating system when the PC/server is in its BIOS-level state. KVM access to the PC/server is built upon a direct connection with the keyboard, video and mouse, while the communication between the PC/server and the remote workstation is securely strengthened with encryption. This hack-proof hardware-based remote access path is separated from the operation network to keep data and workflow secure from end to end, and allows the PC/server to remotely perform system reboots and installation of software updates in case of emergency. Hence, there are zero concerns about data leakage, backdoors, or any form of cyber attack, which is something that a software solution simply cannot guarantee.

The CN9600 DVI KVM over IP Switch is a cost-efficient over-IP device, which allows remote access of digital video, audio and virtual media via remote control of a PC or workstation. The CN9600 enables over-IP capability by connecting compatible ATEN DVI KVM switch and/or LCD console, such as the CS1768 (8-Port USB DVI/Audio KVM Switch) or the CL3800 (DVI LCD Console).

 ENQUIRE A TEST NOW!

The CN9600 expands on previous models by providing a more compact, slimmer space-saving design for utility optimization, and a FPGA graphics processor that offers better image and video quality to enhance user experience, while also meeting the RS-232 DTE/DCE standards for serial control.

For user-friendly operation, a mini USB port on the front panel is designed as a Laptop USB Console (LUC) port. Users just simply connect a laptop to the LUC port, and can access any computer connected to the switch for easy on-site management. That means no additional monitor, keyboard and mouse is strongly required locally for routine maintenance. Besides, the CN9600’s Virtual Media function allows a user to perform diagnostic testing, file transfers, or apply OS/applications updates and patches from a remote console.

To ensure seamless connectivity, the CN9600 is equipped with dual LAN and dual power functionality to keep operation in the server room smooth and efficient. The CN9600 also supports microphone and speakers on the local and remote console.

Integrating all these advanced functionalities, the CN9600 provides an affordable and durable over-IP server management solution while assuring users with operational dependability and efficiency.
