Introduction
Overview
The B020-008-17-IP Console KVM Switch with IP Access is a control unit
that allows secure access to multiple computers from a single KVM (keyboard,
video, and mouse) console. A single B020-008-17-IP can control up to 8
computers. It consists of an integrated 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 B020-008-17-IP features IP-based connectivity that allows one local
operator and multiple remote operators to concurrently monitor and access the
computers on your installation. Because the it uses TCP/IP for its
communications protocol, the B020-008-17-IP 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.
