Introduction
Overview
The RM-KB-LCD17x8/16KVM switch is an integrated LCD console and
keyboard, video, and mouse (KVM) switch that offers secure access to 8 or 16
attached computers and mounts in only 1U of rack space. It features an
independently retractable 17” LCD monitor and keyboard with built-in
touchpad. To maximize space in your data center, the keyboard/touchpad
module hides away when not in use, while the thin profile LCD monitor rotates
back – flush against the rack – allowing convenient monitoring of computer
activity.
An extra console port is provided on the rear panel to manage the LCD KVM
switch from an external console (monitor, keyboard, and mouse) up to 20
meters away. For added convenience it also supports an external USB mouse.
The RM-KB-LCD17x8/16KVM supports both PS/2 and USB keyboards and
mice for the connected computers, and supports USB peripheral devices to be
used with the attached computers. A single RM-KB-LCD17x8/16KVM can
control up to 8 or 16 computers.
Your RM-KB-LCD17x8/16KVM investment is protected by an included
firmware upgrade utility. You can stay current with the latest functionality
improvements by downloading firmware update files from our website as they
become available, and using the utility to quickly and conveniently perform the
upgrade.
Setup is fast and easy: plugging cables into their appropriate ports is all that is
entailed. Because the RM-KB-LCD17x8/16KVM intercepts keyboard input
directly, there is no software to configure, no need to get involved in complex
installation routines, nor any need to be concerned with incompatibility
problems.
Access to any computer connected to the installation is easily accomplished
either by entering hotkey combinations from the keyboard, or by means of a
powerful, mouse driven, OSD (on-screen display) menu system. A convenient
Auto Scan feature also permits automatic scanning and monitoring of the
activities of all computers running on the installation one by one.
