Aten KL1508AN 8-Port Cat 5 Dual Rail LCD KVM Switch with
Daisy-Chain Port
Overview
ALTUSEN KL1508A LCD KVM Switch features independently retractable, dual slide
17" or 19" LED-backlit LCD monitor and keyboard with built-in touchpad. The
KL1508A KVM switches are control units that allow IT administrators to access
and control multiple computers from the LCD console and an extra PS/2 or USB KVM
console.
For increased reliability and efficiency, RJ-45 connectors and Cat 5e/6 cable
are used to link to the computers. Utilizing KVM Adapter Cables for the final
linkup, the KL1508A permits any combination of PCs, Macs, Sun computers, and
serial devices to coexist on the installation. These switches have been designed
with unique and powerful features that enable administrators to manage their
entire server room and data center devices easily and conveniently.
For example, the advanced Adapter ID feature stores the Adapter Cable's
configuration information such as its ID, port name, OS, keyboard language, etc.
This feature allows administrators to relocate servers to different ports
without having to reconfigure the adapters . Other advances found with these
switches includes enhanced video quality extending the distance to the servers
to up to 50 m at a resolution of 1280 x 1024.
A KL1508A installation provides one of the best and most economical solutions
ATEN offers to the SMB market. There is no better way to save time, space, and
money than with a KL1508A KVM switch.
