Tripp Lite’s B072-016-IP2 NetCommander Multi-User IP KVM Switch is the smart solution for controlling multiple servers and serial devices from one monitor, keyboard and mouse. The B072-016-IP2 offers a complete network management solution. This 16-port KVM switch stores neatly in a 1U rack drawer and pulls out when needed. No server-resident software is required, so server performance and reliability are never compromised. Upgradable firmware fine-tunes compatibility with emerging standards.
The B072-016-IP2 supports both PS/2 and USB connections using B078-101-series USB or PS/2 server interface units and inexpensive, readily available Cat5e/6 cabling. Connected computers/servers can be located up to 100 feet from the switch. Because compatibility is based on common hardware standards rather than system software dependencies, Windows and Linux operating systems can be accommodated.
The B072-016-IP2 is designed to ease multi-server management in data centers, server rooms and other high-density environments. BIOS-level access allows network administrators to solve complex problems efficiently and restore service before downtime affects productivity. Dual serial ports enable connection of serial devices, like PDUs, firewalls and routers, for access over IP. Dual Ethernet ports and power supplies provide redundancy in the event of a crash. Event logs record events that take place on the installation, such as logins, reboots and changes to network settings. The B072-016-IP2 also allows 'system sent' messages to notify you of LAN or power failures.
The B072-016-IP2 provides secure IP remote access to connected computers/servers without requiring additional rack space. IP remote access enables system administration, BIOS-level troubleshooting, GUI application installations and equipment reboots to be accomplished from any location using a standard Web browser or multi-platform client software. The B072-016-IP2 also allows remote control of connected PDUs. Individual ports on the KVM can be assigned to a port on the PDU, allowing you to Power Cycle or Power ON/OFF connected servers without leaving the KVM session screen. The B072-016-IP2 allows direct connection of up to 16 computers/servers and offers support for one local and up to 2 simultaneous remote sessions. Connected computers/servers can be located up to 100 feet from the KVM using inexpensive Cat5e/6 cabling and a B078-101-USB, B078-101-USB-1 or B078-101-PS2 server interface module.
The B072-016-IP2 is manufactured in compliance with strict RoHS specifications, reflecting Tripp Lite's commitment to environmental responsibility. For peace of mind, it comes backed by a three-year warranty.
