The Optimal Solution for Controlling Multiple Computers

Tripp Lite's B072-016-1-IP Cat5 IP Rackmount KVM Switch is the optimal solution for controlling multiple computers and servers from either a local console or a remote location. A single unit occupies a mere 1U of rack space, yet can control up to 16 directly connected computers or 256 remote computers by cascading a second level of switches. Each computer/server can be located up to 100 ft. from the KVM switch using Cat5e/6 cabling, with support for video resolutions up to 1920 x 1080 @ 60Hz. The B072-016-1-IP is compatible with both PS/2 and USB connections and comes backed by a three-year warranty.

Simultaneous Local and Remote Support for 2 Users

The B072-016-1-IP enables control of multiple computers from either a local console or a remote location by offering simultaneous support for one local and one remote user. With simultaneous local/remote support, users can each access a different port on the KVM at the same time.

IP remote access enables system administration, BIOS-level troubleshooting, GUI application installations and equipment reboots from any location using a standard Web browser or multi-platform client software. The B072-016-1-IP also lets you add IP PDU's as devices that can be controlled by the KVM. Users can assign individual ports on the KVM to a PDU port to Power Cycle or Power Off/On the computer/server connected to that port.

The B072-016-1-IP’s dual serial ports connect serial-manageable devices such as PDU's, firewalls, and routers for comprehensive local device management.

Other rich features include dual Ethernet ports to provide redundancy in the event of a crash, SNMP messaging and an event log function that records events that take place on the installation.

Supports Multiple Platforms, Access Virtual Media and Secure Access

The B072-016-1-IP supports PS/2 and USB connections (Tripp Lite B078-101-PS2, B078-101-USB-1 or B078-101-USB2 Server Interface Module and Cat5 patch cabling required, sold separately) and is compatible with most major operating systems (IP remote access not compatible with Mac OS X).

With the B072-016-1-IP, users are provided Virtual Media access, which allows an .iso file located in a Shared folder of a SAMBA or NFS server to be mounted to a Target Server and accessed as if it were directly stored on it. Virtual Media data transfer rates up to 12Mbps (B078-101-USB2 required) are supported.

The B072-016-1-IP incorporates the most advanced 128-bit SSL and HTTPS encryption technologies with three levels of password protection. Remote authentication support is achieved via full-screen graphical OSD with multi-level authentication (Administrator and User) so users can quickly and efficiently manage installations. The B072-016-1-IP supports RADIUS and LDAP/S as well as IPv4 and IPv6 protocols.
