Introduction
Overview
The KVM Over the NET
TM
series of switches are IP-based KVM control units
that allow both local and remote operators to monitor and access multiple
servers from a single console. A single KN4140v can control up to 40 servers,
and by cascading up to 40 compatible 16 port switches, as many as 640 servers
can be controlled on a complete two stage installation.
The switches are differentiated according to the number of buses they support
and the number of KVM ports they provide – as shown in the table below:
Each bus permits a separate user session so that up to three (1 Local; 2 Remote)
or five (1 Local; 4 Remote) concurrent independent connections to the attached
servers can take place.
