Benefits
The benefits of the IP Console Switch include:
Significant reduction of KVM cable volume by using an Interface Adapter and
single unshielded twisted pair (UTP) CAT5 cabling
Facilitation of KVM access in higher server density environments because of an
increase in the number of ports available
KVM access through network connection
No special software or drivers are required on the attached computers,
including the host.
Users access the unit and all attached systems through Ethernet from a user
running the IP Console Viewer.
User can be located anywhere a valid network connection exists.
Integration with existing HP and Compaq KVM switches, adding IP access
NOTE: The HP IP Console Switch is not compatible with HP classic analog
KVM switches.
