Overview
The HP IP Console Switch combines analog and digital technology to provide
flexible, centralized keyboard, video, and mouse (KVM) control of data center
servers. This solution provides enterprise customers with a significant reduction in
cable volume, secure remote access, and high performance server KVM access.
Each unit has 16 server ports (with RJ-45 connections) and provides optimal digital
video performance with a maximum resolution of 1280 x 1024 at 75 Hz, up to
15.24 meters (50 feet), and a maximum resolution of 800 x 640 at 60 Hz, up to
30.48 meters (100 feet).
The IP Console Switch works over standard LAN connections, providing access
across a 100Base-T Ethernet connection for one or up to three simultaneous IP users,
depending on the model, and for one user directly through a local port. The IP
Console Switch uses Ethernet networking infrastructure and TCP/IP protocol to
transmit KVM information between operators and connected computers.
Although 10Base-T Ethernet can be used, HP recommends a dedicated, switched
100Base-T network for improved performance.
