Switch KVM ATEN KL1516AIM-AXA-AG Montaggio rack Nero

The KL1516Ai Dual Rail LCD KVM Switch is a 1U rack-mountable control unit that provides secure access to up to 16 computers from a single KVM console. It integrates a 17" LCD monitor with a retractable keyboard and touchpad in a sliding metal housing and supports VGA video output plus USB and PS/2 keyboard and mouse connections. The unit uses compact RJ-45/Cat 5e/6 cabling and KVM adapter cables to connect a mixed environment of PCs, Macs, Sun systems, and serial devices.

Advantages

The dual-rail design lets the LCD and keyboard/touchpad modules slide independently so the keyboard can hide away while the thin-profile monitor folds flush against the rack, saving space in dense installations. IP-based connectivity and TCP/IP protocol enable both local and remote access over LAN, WAN, or the Internet. Rear ports for an external monitor, keyboard and mouse plus a USB mouse port on the keyboard module provide local-console management options. Additional features include a Panel Array Mode for simultaneous display of many systems and a Message Board for instant user communication.

How to use

Install the KL1516Ai into a 19" rack occupying a single U. Connect each target computer using the appropriate KVM adapter cable to the unit’s RJ-45 ports and connect the LCD, keyboard and touchpad module to the front. For local control, attach an external monitor, keyboard and mouse to the rear ports or use an external USB mouse via the keyboard module. Configure network settings to enable remote access over TCP/IP and authenticate user accounts according to your security policy. Use the device’s on-screen menus to select target computers, manage Panel Array Mode and adjust scan intervals.

Recommendations

Place the unit in a secure, climate-controlled rack space and use Cat 5e/6 cabling for reliable connections. Keep KVM adapter cables clearly labeled to simplify server identification. For remote access, ensure proper firewall rules and strong authentication are configured and limit administrative access to authorized personnel.
