Tripp Lite by Eaton NetDirector 32-Port Cat5 KVM over IP Switch - Virtual Media 1 Remote + 1 Local User 1U Rack-Mount TAA

Control As Many As 32 Computers or Servers from Anywhere in the World

This NetDirector® Cat5 KVM switch offers BIOS-level access to multiple computers and servers in a complex, demanding IT environment. The B064-032-01-IPG provides complete control of up to 32 computers and/or servers directly, including blade servers, from a single monitor, USB keyboard and USB mouse. Dual redundant power supplies confirm the unit will continue running in the event one power supply fails, ensuring 24/7 reliability. A Laptop USB Console (LUC) port allows direct connection of a laptop for easy console operation of the KVM switch.

All-in-One Network Management for Critical Systems

The B064-032-01-IPG offers a comprehensive, cost-effective network management solution that installs in 1U of space in an EIA-standard 19-inch rack using the included hardware. No server-resident software is required, so server performance and reliability are never compromised. Flash-upgradable firmware over an Ethernet network fine-tunes compatibility with emerging standards.

Supports All Major Operating Systems and Most Web Browsers

The B064-032-01-IPG supports all major server platforms and VT100-based serial devices. Because compatibility is based on common hardware standards, rather than system software dependencies, almost any platform can be accommodated. Supported web browsers for users who log in remotely include Internet Explorer, Firefox, Mozilla, Safari, Opera and Netscape Navigator.

Simple Network Control That Gives You More Flexibility

This Cat5 KVM switch is designed to ease multi-server management in data centers, server rooms and other high-density environments. Built-in IP capability allows up to two users-one local and one remote-to access the network independently and simultaneously. An optional dial-in connection (modem port) is provided to ensure access in situations when the KVM switch is not available over the primary network. You may also select a connected computer using on-console pushbuttons, GUI (graphical user interface), OSD (on-screen display) or keyboard hotkey commands. An LED per KVM port indicates when a computer is connected to the port, when it is powered on and when it is selected.

High-Resolution On-Screen Display Offers Multi-Language Support

The advanced OSD with high-resolution video up to 1920 x 1200 (at 60 Hz) with 24-bit color depth provides a GUI with management tools, including custom port labeling, auto-scanning and panel array mode. The OSD may be set to display in English, German, Russian, Japanese, traditional Chinese and simplified Chinese.

Allows Connection of Either PS/2 or USB Keyboard and Mouse

PS/2 and USB console ports are included. Only one keyboard/mouse combination may be connected at a time.

Supports Both IPv4 and IPv6 Addresses

The B064-032-01-IPG supports IPv4, Link Local IPv6 Address and IPv6 Stateless Autoconfiguration protocols. You may set the IP address manually or have it automatically assigned via DHCP server (the default method).

Heightened Security of Every Connection

The B064-032-01-IPG offers three levels of password protection (super administrator, administrator and user) to prevent unauthorized persons from gaining access to connected servers/computers. Remote authentication support is provided via RADIUS, LDAP, LDAPS and Active Directory. The B064-032-01-IPG also incorporates advanced encryption technologies: 1024-bit RSA, 56-bit DES, 256-bit AES and 128-bit SSL. It also supports high-grade FIPS 140-2 level 1 security standards.

Virtual Media Capability Allows Any Connected Computer to Access Storage Media

The B064-032-01-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.
