Aten KL1516AiN 16-Port 19" Dual Rail Cat5 LCD KVM Over IP Switch
The KL1508Ai and KL1516Ai Dual Rail LCD KVM Switches are control units that allow secure access up to 8/16 computers from a single KVM (keyboard, video and mouse) console. They consist of an integrated LED-backlit LCD monitor, keyboard and touchpad in a 1U rack-mountable retractable sliding housing. The LCD and keyboard/touchpad modules slide independently of each other. To maximize space in your data center, the keyboard/touchpad module slides back to "hide away" when not in use, while the thin profile LCD monitor rotates back - flush against the rack - allowing convenient monitoring of computer activity. The KL1508Ai / KL1516Ai features IP-based connectivity that allows local and remote operators to monitor and access the computers on your installation. Because it uses TCP/IP for its communications protocol, the KL1508Ai / KL1516Ai can be accessed from any computer on the LAN, WAN or Internet - whether that computer is located down the hall, down the street or halfway around the world. Compact, high-density, RJ-45 connectors and Cat5e/6 cable make for a compact, efficient, wiring configuration, while the use of KVM Adapter Cables to link to the computers, permits any combination of PCs, Macs, Sun computers and serial devices to coexist on the installation. For added convenience, ports for an external keyboard, monitor and mouse are provided on the rear panel - permitting you to manage the switch from a local console. There is also an external USB mouse port on the keyboard module, allowing you to use an external mouse, rather than the touchpad. Enhanced features include a Panel Array Mode that displays the video output of up to 16 computers at the same time and a Message Board that allows logged in users to conveniently and instantly communicate with one other - no matter where in the world they actually are. The KL1508Ai / KL1516Ai is an ideal solution for your server room management.

Convenient Monitoring The Dual Rail system separates the LCD module from keyboard/touchpad module so they can move independently of each other. This allows the keyboard/touchpad to be pushed back into the housing and out of the way when not in use, while the LCD screen can be rotated up to the rack for convenient monitoring of server operation - the LCD module's range of rotation is adjustable to provide the best viewing angle. Enhanced Console Control The extra console ports provide administrators with the ability to use a standard keyboard/monitor/mouse console, if they like. Other, even more powerful options for the external console ports are to connect a KVM extender. Easy Cabling The KL1508 Ai /KL1516 Ai features RJ-45 connectors and Cat5e/6 cable to link to the computers. Utilizing PS/2, USB and serial KVM Adapter Cables for the final linkup, the KL1508 Ai /KL1516 Ai reduces cable bulk and simplifies cable management. Adapter Cables with ID The KL1508 Ai /KL1516 Ai supports automatic ID recognition of the new ATEN KVM Cable Adapter KA7000 series. Using the new adapter cables with ID means it is not required to change cable configuration settings when moving cables from port to port- allowing you to hot-swap port connections without having to reconfigure attributes. Panel Array Mode Panel Array Mode permits simultaneous monitoring of the video output of the installations' servers. Operators can monitor the screen display of up to 8/16 servers for real-time server monitoring. Mouse DynaSync Automatically synchronizes the local and remote mouse movements for perfect alignment of mouse pointers, regardless of server mouse acceleration settings. Message Board To alleviate the problem of access conflicts arising from multiple logins, the Message Board functions like an Internet chat program, allowing users who are logged in to instantly communicate with each other. Easy Operation • Computer selection via front panel pushbuttons, hotkeys and multilingual onscreen display (OSD) menu • Multi-language keyboard support includes English(US); English(UK); French, German, German(Swiss), Greek, Hungarian, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Russian, Spanish, Swedish and Traditional Chinese.
