ATEN LCD KVM Switches - CL1316N

With limited server room space and rising maintenance costs, network administrators are looking for solutions that reduce both costs and space requirements. This ATEN LCD KVM switch offers a space-saving, streamlined approach to KVM switching technology by integrating an LCD panel, a full keyboard, and a touchpad into a rack-mountable sliding housing. The switch features an integrated 19" LCD panel allowing access and control of multiple computers from a single console (keyboard, mouse, and monitor). As many as 16 additional switches can be cascaded bringing the total number of connected computers to 256 computers that can be controlled from a single keyboard-monitor-mouse console. Setup is fast and easy - plugging cables into their appropriate ports is all that is needed. The switch supports both USB and PS/2 connections for the computers. The CL1316 intercepts keyboard input directly, thus eliminating the need for any software configuration. Switching between computers can be easily accomplished either by manually pressing the front panel push button port LEDs, entering hotkey combinations from the keyboard, or via a menu-driven multilingual on-screen display (OSD) system.
