The KVM Over the NET switches allow local and remote operators to monitor and 
access the entire enterprise data center over the Internet using a web-based browser. 
In addition, they offer out-of-band access – including external modem support – for 
BIOS-level troubleshooting when the network is down.

These switches have been designed with unique and powerful features that enable 
administrators to manage their entire server room and data center devices easily and 
conveniently from just about anywhere in the world.

To  help  you  manage  and  control  your  entire  datacenter  environment,  we  now 
support blade servers and chassis. Also, there are some new powerful features such 
as Power Association, which enables the switch’s KVM ports to be associated with 
power outlets on an ATEN/ALTUSEN PDUs – therefore allowing power management 
of the server attached to the port from the switch’s interface. If a server has dual 
power supply, secondary power association lets you associate a second outlet port 
and  synchronize  the  operation  for  both  power  supplies.  The  KVM  Over  the  NET 
switches’ powerful capabilities further include: Message Board , Panel Array Mode, 
Mouse DynaSync, and Adapter ID. 

A special Message Board feature – which like an internet chat program – lets any 
number of remotely logged in users exchange information and communicate with 
each other or to cooperatively manage the installation. A Panel Array Mode- allows 
real-time monitoring of up to 32 servers at once. Other features that contribute to 
the switches’ powerful capabilities include: Mouse DynaSync, and Adapter ID 

With Altusen KVM over the NET switches, IT administrators can manage their server 
rooms  and  data  centers  from  practically  anywhere  –  minimizing  travel  costs  and 
MTTR (Mean Time to Repair) – and ensuring the highest availability of data center 
services possible.

Used in conjunction with ATEN/ALTUSEN PDUs  power management device, you 

can associate a KVM Over the NET Switch’s port with a PDU’s power outlet, and 

then manage the power operation of a server from the switch’s interface – a 

single interface point. It also enables you to associate a second outlet port if the 

server has a dual power supply, and lets you synchronize the operation for both 

power supplies. In this way, Power Association reduces maintenance time and 

increases management efficiency

Support for blade server associations with KVM switch ports allows the blade 

server chassis and individual blades to be integrated into the sidebar tree view 

and accessed easily.

Monitor the critical events on your system and customize the settings according 

to your needs. Logged events are divided into categories providing clear and 

complete information to administrators.

Dual IP operation provides the backup redundancy, and reliability. Should one of 

the IP become unavailable, the other will take over in order to keep the system 

functioning normally.

A special hideaway control panel with configurable function icon enables you to 

control and manage the servers more convenient.

A user-friendly, intuitive, GUI provides convenient, access, configuration and 

operation. Local Console , browser-based and AP GUIs offer a unified 

multilanguage interface to minimize user training time and increase productivity.

The remote desktop can appear full-screen or as a window with a flexible scaling 

video display. Advanced features such as the Message Board, Mouse DynaSync, 

and Keyboard Pass Through, create a Virtual Remote Desktop that allows users 

to operate servers from remote locations just as if they were actually at the local 

site.

With enhanced fps throughput for crisp responsive video display, the switches 

offer resolutions of up to 1600 x 1200 @ 60Hz; vibrant 24-bit color depth for 

rich remote session display at up to 50m

A Network setting is provided that allows you to streamline data throughput by 

adjusting the size of the data stream (bandwidth) to match network traffic 

conditions. Video performance can be adjusted so that data throughput is 

optimized for the available network bandwidth. With high speed LAN access, 

the network setting can be adjusted so that a greater amount of video 

information is sent, resulting in a higher quality video display. In a limited 

bandwidth situation, the network setting can be adjusted so that net lag is 

minimized.

Automatically synchronizes the local and remote mouse movements for perfect 

alignment of mouse pointers, regardless of server mouse acceleration settings. 

Panel array mode permits simultaneous monitoring of the video output of the 

installations’ servers. Operators can monitor the screen display of up to 40 

servers for real-time server monitoring.

To alleviate the problem of access conflicts arising from multiple logins, the 

Message Board functions like an Internet chat program, allowing users who are 

logged in to instantly communicate with each other.

With Intelligent Bus Assignment users are automatically assigned to one 

of four buses as they log in. With Flexible Port Switching, up to 32 users 

can be flexibly distributed over 4 separate bus sessions and multiple users 

are allowed to share access to one server for maximizing system 

efficiency. 

The Adapter ID Function stores port information such as the Adapter ID, 

OS, keyboard language, adapter name, operation modes, and etc. This 

enables administrators to relocate the servers to different ports, without 

having to re-configure the adapters and the switches
