IP KVM Switch Provides Complete Control of Up to 8 Servers or Computers from Any Location

Tripp Lite's B064-008-01-IPG NetDirector 8-Port Cat5 IP KVM Switch is the smart solution for controlling multiple computers and servers in a complex, demanding IT environment. Its rugged housing, premium connectors and superior functionality ensure trouble-free operation. The B064-008-01-IPG can control up to 8 servers/computers directly, including blade servers. It is compatible with both PS/2 and USB connections using Tripp Lite B055-001-series server interface units and inexpensive Cat5/5e patch cables. Redundant dual power supplies ensure this KVM will continue running if the primary power supply fails. Built-in IP capability allows up to two users—one local and one remote—to access the network, either independently or simultaneously.

Typical Applications

  • Manage and control up to 8 servers or computers from an off-site location
  • Provide support and service to outsourced hardware
  • Keep mission-critical equipment in a data center or server room up and running 24/7

Provides Simple, Flexible Network Control

This KVM switch is designed for data centers, server rooms and other high-density environments. In addition to its built-in IP capability, an optional dial-in connection provides access when the primary network is unavailable. Each KVM port features an LED that lets you know when a computer is connected, powered on and selected. An advanced on-screen display (OSD) with high-resolution video up to 1920 x 1200 at 60 Hz provides a GUI (graphical user interface) with management tools, including custom port labeling, auto-scannng and panel array mode. The OSD may be set to display in English, German, Russian, Japanese, traditional Chinese and simplified Chinese.

  • Designed for data centers, server rooms and other high-density environments
  • Features an optional dial-in connection in case your primary network is unavailable
  • KVM port LEDs show power and connection status at a glance
  • Advanced on-screen display provides additional management tools

Advanced Technologies Ensure Heightened Security at Every Connection

Three levels of password protection (super administrator, administrator and user) and authentication support (via RADIUS, LDAP, LDAPS and Active Directory) prevent unauthorized people from gaining access to servers and computers.

  • Three levels of password protection
  • Authentication support via RADIUS, LDAP, LDAPS and Active Directory
  • Supports high-grade FIPS 140-2 level 1 security standards
  • Incorporates 1024-bit RSA, 56-bit DES, 256-bit AES and 128-bit SSL encryption technologies

Virtual Media Capability Allows Any Connected Computer to Access Storage Media

The B064-008-01-IPG features Virtual Media capability. That means any computer connected to the KVM via a server interface unit, such as a Tripp Lite B055-001-USB-V2 (sold separately), can access flash drives, DVD/CD drives and other storage media remotely, as though it were directly connected. This lets administrators perform diagnostics, install software and transfer files from across a network, reducing the need for on-site visits. Three USB ports are provided on the KVM’s front panel for use with Virtual Media or USB peripheral devices.

  • Virtual Media capability allows connected computers to remotely access storage media as though they were directly connected
  • Reduces the need to perform on-site software installations, file transfers and system diagnostics
