The KN Series 24-Port CAT5 KVM over IP Switch from ATEN provides a local console and remote over IP access for users to monitor and access their entire data center over a network. It can control up to 24 servers. By cascading compatible KVM switches, as many as 512 servers can be controlled on a complete two-stage installation. It features the FPGA graphics processor that supports transmission of resolutions up to 1920 x 1200 at 60 Hz with 24-bit color depth up to a distance of 164'. It also supports FIPS 140-2 with level 1 security standards and provides faster virtual media transmission speeds for accessing USB drives.
With dual on-board NICs and dual power supplies, this KN Series switch is built for reliability, to ensure 24/7 availability of remote access to all servers. This unit can be integrated into ATEN's CC2000 Management Software. The CC2000 software provides complete control of remote data centers and branch offices, allowing the IT administrators to remotely monitor and control all devices on a network, including blade server chassis, individual blades, and virtual machines. Additional, the KVM over IP Switch features a message board, Panel Array Mode, Mouse DynaSync, and the Adapter ID.

Configurable Network Bandwidth Settings
Network bandwidth settings allow you to streamline data throughput by adjusting the size of the data stream (bandwidth) to match network traffic conditions
Video performance can be adjusted to optimize the data throughput for the available network bandwidth
With high-speed LAN access, the settings can be adjusted so that a greater amount of video data is sent, resulting in a higher quality video display
Settings can be adjusted to minimize network lag during limited bandwidth
