The B022-U16-IP Net Director 16-Port 1U Rack-Mount IP KVM Switch is the smart solution for controlling up to 16 computers or servers from one monitor, keyboard and mouse, all from the next room, next door, or the next continent.

The B022-U16-IP takes up just 1U of rack space and works with all major operating systems. Built-in IP access allows you to control computers via LAN, WAN or the Internet. Just log on to a Web browser using the Windows- or Java-based browser client, and navigate the user-friendly interface in English, Spanish, French, German or Japanese. You can also access the KVM Switch without a browser if you prefer.

The advanced on-screen display (OSD) supports high-definition video up to 2048 x 1536 at the local console and up to 1600 x 1200 at 60 Hz with 24-bit color depth at the remote console. Compatible with both USB and PS/2 connections using the included cable kits, the KVM Switch allows you to select a connected computer using on-console pushbuttons or keyboard hotkey commands. It also supports both IPv4 and IPv6, as well as Link Local IPv6 Address and Stateless Auto Configuration protocol.

Advanced encryption technologies, such as 128-bit SSL, 128-bit RC4, 1024-bit RSA, 56-bit DES, 256-bit AES and 168-bit 3DES, keep your important data secure. The KVM Switch supports RADIUS and LDAP/S remote authentication. Three levels of security allow you to delegate proper access to approved personnel, and you can create up to 64 separate accounts.
