The iPath Controller helps to build and manage an Agility IP-Based KVM Switching and Extension Network. The controller connects multiple Agility extender units and allows to combine cross-point switching and point-to-point extension to build a KVM matrix system that works over a local area network (LAN). The iPATH management system controls transmitters, receivers, users, passwords, and access rights over a single IP network.

If combined and managed by iPath, Agility transmitter and receiver units allow multiple users to access multiple host computers hosted in a secure, central location. The iPATH Agility Controller centrally manages these connections. Using the intuitive iPATH web-based interface, one or more administrators can manage potentially thousands of users who are interacting with an almost unlimited number of devices.

With support for pixel-perfect HD video, audio, USB, and serial signals, the IP-based Agility KVM matrix switching system is extremely flexible in terms of adding additional user stations and computers as the need arises. Since it uses standard Ethernet protocol (i.e. a managed IP switch) to operate, no proprietary technology is used to enable switching. This facilitates both the implementation and future management of the KVM network.

Easy to Configure, Deploy, and Operate
iPATH operates as a self-contained compact server (including its own DHCP server) unit that can be situated anywhere within your network of Agility devices. It is supplied pre-loaded and is straightforward to deploy, requiring only a network connection and a power input to begin operation. All configuration of your Agility local units (channels), remote units, and users are performed using the intuitive iPATH browser interface via a network-connected computer.

Each Channel is a Virtual Transmitter
In most cases, video, audio, and USB streams will originate from a single transmitter. However, with iPATH, you can arrange for the video and USB streams to come from one source, and audio to stream from another source. You could also have two channels coming from a host computer with different access rights.

Groups Facilitate Administration
To accommodate potentially large numbers of users and devices, iPATH uses a system of groups: User Groups, Receiver Groups, and Channel Groups. Groups enable the system administrators to apply collective settings to all members, and for those members to benefit from settings and permissions in other groups where appropriate. This saves administrators time.

Active Directory Support
To streamline administration further, iPATH supports Active Directory. By synchronizing with an LDAP/Active Directory server, users' details (including usernames, passwords, and group memberships) can be securely synchronized from existing databases. This minimizes initial configurations and streamlines ongoing updates.

Administration Rights
System administrators are able to add, edit, and remove users, passwords, and access rights via the Agility iPATH Controller. Also, the admin can designate a hotkey sequence that users use to log in to the system. Once users are logged in, they are able to see a list of target computers that are available to them. The admin can see who is actively logged into the system, and also force a user to switch to a specific target.

Small Form Factor KVM over IP
The Agility ZeroU KVM Transmitters are small form factor KVM dongles that enable KVM switching and extension over an existing or dedicated LAN while consuming virtually no rack space (Dimensions: (L) 110mm/4.3" x (W) 55mm/2.17" x (D) 25mm/1").

Pair with Agility receivers to enable matrix connections between any number of remote user workstations and computers that are securely stored in your server room.

USB-Powered
ZeroU Transmitters can be powered over USB from the connected server or optionally via an external PSU. They require Zero U of rack space and it easily retrofits into existing infrastructure. This leaves plenty of space for whatever else you need in your rack.

Beautiful, Clear Picture Quality
Deliver pixel-perfect digital video: The transmitters support video resolutions up to 1080p at 60 Hz (VGA, DVI, DisplayPort, or HDMI models) or dual-link up to 2560 x 1600 at 60 Hz (DisplayPort or HDMI models). The transmitters' no-loss compression minimizes bandwidth use while maximizing user experience.

Take Control With USB 2.0
To provide latency-free control of your computers and all connected devices, the ZeroU transmitters support USB 2.0 Full and Low Speed HID devices such as mice, keyboards, graphic tablets, jog shuttles, joysticks, or 3D explorers at up to 50-Mbps. Their extended USBr functionality makes sure your remotely connected USB devices are recognized as if they were directly connected to the computer in the server room.

Digital Audio Support
The transmitter dongles support USB stereo audio (bi-directional) as well as embedded video standard stereo audio (uni-directional).

Designed for Mission-critical, 24/7 Applications
Don't worry about your KVM system going down in the most pressing situations. The transmitters feature power redundancy, support link redundancy from the receiver units, and support the KVM system manager hub/spoke topology (primary/backup system) to ensure your KVM installation works when you need it most.
