LevelOne 16-portový PS/2-USB VGA KVM prepínač

The LevelOne KVM-1631 16-port combo KVM switch allows control and management of up to 16 servers or computers from a local console or via remote console modules. The local console supports PS/2 or USB keyboard and mouse connections plus a VGA monitor for direct on-site access. For remote operation, the device includes an expansion slot for optional modules (for example the ACC-1000 Cat.5 Console Module) that convert Cat.5 signals to computer video/keyboard/mouse signals, enabling control from distances up to 300 meters. Multiple units can be cascaded to manage larger systems.

Advantages

The KVM-1631 supports both local and remote control modes through a modular expansion slot, providing flexible installation and remote access options. It supports daisy-chaining up to eight compatible KVM units to manage up to 128 computers from a single console. The switch offers high video quality, wide OS compatibility, built-in security controls and a web-based user interface for straightforward administration.

Key specifications

• Ports: 16 computer ports (combo KVM)
• Local console: PS/2 or USB keyboard and mouse, VGA monitor
• Remote modules: expansion slot for optional modules (e.g. ACC-1000 Cat.5 Console Module)
• Remote control distance (with Cat.5 module): up to 300 m
• Daisy chain: up to 8 units (up to 128 computers)
• Video resolution: up to 1920 x 1440
• OS support: Windows, NetWare, Unix, Linux, Mac OS, Sun Microsystems
• Interface: web-based user interface

How to use

Connect PS/2 or USB keyboard and mouse and a VGA monitor to the local console port to control connected systems directly. To enable remote control, install an optional module (such as the ACC-1000 Cat.5 Console Module) into the expansion slot and connect Cat.5 cabling between the KVM-1631 and remote units; the module converts Cat.5 signals to computer signals and supports remote control up to 300 m. For larger deployments, cascade up to eight compatible KVM units using the daisy-chain port to expand control to as many as 128 computers from a single console. Use the web-based interface to configure security, scanning and device settings.

Recommendations

Use shielded Cat.5e/Cat.6 cabling and quality Cat.5 modules to ensure stable remote connections. When cascading units, label each KVM and attached systems to simplify navigation and management through the console interface.
