KVM Switchboxes

Aten?s new generation of KVM over IP switches - KN series allows local console access and remote over IP access for operators to monitor and access their entire data center over a network using a web-based browser. In addition, they offer out-of-band access with external modem support for BIOS-level troubleshooting when the network is down.

To help you manage and control an entire data center, our KVM over IP switches support blade servers and chassis. With powerful new features such as Power Association - KVM ports can be associated with ATEN PDU power outlets for power management of servers from the KVM over IP switches' user interface.

KVM over IP switches now support the new Control Center Video Session Recorder (CCVSR) software. The CCVSR records all operations made on servers accessed through KVM over IP switches. Every operation and change from the BIOS level to logging in, from running software applications to configuring the operating system- is recorded and saved to a secure video file as evidence, without exception.

The Virtual Media function lets you map to storage media on USB, hard disk and DVD/CD drives located on remote servers - allowing administrators to conduct file transfers, install applications, run O.S. updates, or perform diagnostics across a network with ease.

Enhanced capabilities of KVM over IP switches also include: a Message Board, Panel Array Mode™, Mouse DynaSync™, Adapter ID and Secure Serial Server Access. The secure access to serial-controlled devices includes network equipment, Unix servers, Linux servers, Sun servers and many more serial consoles. It provides installation without needing expensive serial dongles.

With dual on-board NICs and dual power supplies, the KVM over IP switches are built for reliability, to ensure 24/7 availability of remote access to all server room computers.

A Windows Client and a Java Client are available for remote access. They allow IP connection and login from anywhere over the internet. In addition, ATEN also provides an iOS APP - PadClient, whose intuitive interface makes it easy to connect to the KVM over IP switch and control computers direct from your iPad. Please visit the PadClient webpage for more information.

With Aten KVM over IP switches, IT administrators can manage their server rooms and data centers from practically anywhere - minimizing travel costs and MTTR (Mean Time to Repair) - ensuring the highest availability of data center services possible.

ATEN's new KN1000A Single Port KVM over IP Switch provides access and control "over-IP" for conventional KVM switches and servers that do not have built-in over-IP functionality. It allows system operators to monitor and access computers from remote locations for "down to the BIOS-level" troubleshooting, using standard Web browsers or Windows and Java based application programs, without the need to be on site for constant IT maintenance. In addition, the KN1000A supports out-of-band access in case the LAN goes down, with external modem support as backup.

To help you manage and control widely distributed servers efficiently from a remote console, a built-in single-port power switch provides remote power management of a server connected locally, allowing you to turn a server On or Off, and reboot it. In addition, you can add an ATEN PDU unit to manage the power status of even more devices. The KN1000A also provides serial console management over the Internet which can remotely control serial console devices such as network switches.

The KN1000A makes it easy to work on many tasks simultaneously, featuring a unique LUC (Laptop USB Console) port for quick KVM access via a laptop, user-friendly OSD, virtual media functionality without additional cables, and video resolutions up to 1920 x 1200.

The KN1000A's Virtual Media function allows you to perform file transfers, system diagnostic testing, software patches and application installations, all from the remote console. There is no need to physically mount an optical drive directly at the server to perform data related tasks. Now you can conveniently troubleshoot and resolve OS and BIOS-level problems from any remote location.

Both Windows GUI Client and Java Client Applet are available from a browser based and Windows application program to provide easy and flexible remote access. Each application provides a unique way to login and access the remote server from anywhere over a network. The inclusion of a Java-based client ensures that the KN1000A platform is independent and able to work with most operating systems.

With these advanced features, the KN1000A is the fastest, most reliable and cost effective solution to remotely access and manage widely distributed multi-server installations, such as for kiosks and automated banking machines.

The CS82U PS/2-USB KVM Switch is a desktop control unit that allows users to access two computers from a single KVM console (PS/2 or USB keyboard and mouse, and VGA monitor). In addition, CS82U comes with ATEN's new Video DynaSync™ technology, which eliminates boot-up display problems and optimizes resolution.

Setup is fast and easy; simply plug cables into their appropriate ports. There is no software to configure, no installation routines, and no incompatibility problems. Since the CS82U intercepts keyboard input directly, it will work on multiple computing platforms.

The DKM Compact II KVM Matrix Switches come in sizes of 1, 2, and 4 RU. With their capability to facilitate 1G and 3G network speed technology within a single frame, they support modern applications with a mix of HD and 4K video, USB, audio, and serial extension and switching in a very economical way. Their custom-design chassis allows for future field upgradability, so you can scale your system from 40 ports to 80 ports or even up to 160 ports to meet your business needs.

Extend Signals up to 10 Kilometers over Fiber
Send your signals as far as you need them to go. These DKM Switches enable you to extend KVM signals up to 400 meters (1312 feet) over standard multimode fiber or even 10 kilometers (6.2 miles) over single mode fiber.

Grid Connectivity
With a 10G grid option, you can link multiple DKM Compact II KVM Switches together to create a bigger system. This functionality allows you to build a homogeneous large matrix grid for your enterprise.

Setup Is Simple
Just connect extender units to the chassis, and the internal application control software will recognize and auto-configure the port as a transmitter or receiver device. This technology saves a ton of time for system installers, who normally have to preconfigure ports to specific I/O requirements.

Switch between Sources Instantly
The DKM system supports instant switching technology. Switching between sources is glitch-free and instantaneous to reduce eye strain and annoying video tearing common in lesser solutions.

Where centralized switching of KVM is necessary, DKM is the perfect KVM solution. It is especially suited for factory floor automation control systems, traffic control, and command and control environments.

Compatible with All DKM Solutions
DKM Compact II KVM Matrix Switches are compatible with all current and future DKM extenders. Just make sure to use the correct link speed, interface, codec version, and firmware.

Use DKM Modular or preconfigured Extenders and Extender Kits to connect DKM Compact II Switches with computers (connect to transmitter units) and users (connect to receiver units):

Works with:
Preconfigured DKM DVI and USB Extenders
Preconfigured DKM Compact Extender Kits
DKM Modular Extender Chassis and I/O Cards
