The CN9600 DVI KVM over IP Switch is a cost-efficient over-IP device, which allows remote access of digital video, audio and virtual media via remote control of a PC or workstation. The CN9600 enables over-IP capability by connecting compatible ATEN DVI KVM switch and/or LCD console, such as the CS1768 (8-Port USB DVI/Audio KVM Switch) or the CL3800 (DVI LCD Console). The CN9600 expands on previous models by providing a more compact, slimmer space-saving design for utility optimization, and a FPGA graphics processor that offers better image and video quality to enhance user experience, while also meeting the RS-232 DTE/DCE standards for serial control. For user-friendly operation, a mini USB port on the front panel is designed as a Laptop USB Console (LUC) port. Users just simply connect a laptop to the LUC port, and can access any computer connected to the switch for easy on-site management. That means no additional monitor, keyboard and mouse is strongly required locally for routine maintenance. Besides, the CN9600’s Virtual Media function allows a user to perform diagnostic testing, file transfers, or apply OS/applications updates and patches from a remote console. To ensure seamless connectivity, the CN9600 is equipped with dual LAN and dual power functionality to keep operation in the server room smooth and efficient. The CN9600 also supports microphone and speakers on the local and remote console. Integrating all these advanced functionalities, the CN9600 provides an affordable and durable over-IP server management solution while assuring users with operational dependability and efficiency.
