Introduction
Thank you for purchasing a StarTech.com IP KVM Switch with USB Console. The
SV441DUSBI / SV841DUSBI revolutionizes remote server management by combining
our industry-leading, third generation Server Remote Control technology with a
proven Enterprise class digital KVM switch.
This IP KVM Switch empowers you to securely manage up to four or eight computers
remotely from almost anywhere using the internet or your local area network (LAN).
Unlike software solutions that require installation and work through your server’s
operating system, the IP KVM Switch gives you BIOS level control and full interaction
with your system’s boot process. Control does not come at the expense of security: SSH
tunneling, SSL encryption, RADIUS authentication, and a configurable firewall are all
included to ensure that your network stays secure. Its standardized 1U rack-mountable
metal chassis allows easy installation in your existing rack or cabinet solution.
Server Remote Control is about more than just servers. Using the Serial Remote
Interface Module (RPORT), you can interact with virtually any device that uses a
RS-232 serial terminal interface like routers, switches, environmental controls, alarm
systems, and more. You can also use StarTech.com’s 8 outlet Remote Power Module
(PCM815SHNA) to power computers and equipment on an off using an interactive
menu.
