Chapter 1 Introduction
With the innovative IP-Based technology, PLANET has turned the traditional KVM
switches into true networking devices. The IKVM-8010 / IKVM-16010 capture,
digitizes and compresses video signal, then transmits it with keyboard and mouse
signals through IP network. Multiple remote sites can monitor the same PC server
simultaneously. With HTTPS/SSL authentication and data encryption, the IKVM-8010
/ IKVM-16010 provide a non-intrusive solution for remote access and control. The
remote access and control software operates on its embedded processors only, but
not on mission-critical servers, so that there would be no interference with server
operation or decrease on the network performance.
The IKVM-8010 / IKVM-16010 will detect the current video mode of the console
automatically; and manual fine-tuning is also available to receive an optimal video
quality. The IKVM-8010 / IKVM-16010 will accept video streams with a dot clock
rate up to 110MHz, therefore, the remote VGA resolution can up to 1600 x 1200
with a frame rate of 60 Hz. User can connect up to 8 / 16 PCs to the IKVM-8010
/ IKVM-16010. The IKVM-8010 / IKVM-16010 can fully control the connected PCs
of any platform through any at-hand browser or just work as a normal 8/16-Port
KVM Switch in local site. By the support of daisy chain function, users can cascade
one IKVM-8010 / IKVM-16010 to multiple KVM-800 or KVM-1600, and manage this
KVM chain with one single IP. The IKVM-8010 / IKVM-16010 are the ideal choice
for those users who want to maintain their PC system at office or home 24/7.
