Product Features – IP KVM Switch with Cat5/6 ports (P/Ns 37207-360, 37207-420)
• 16 or 32 Cat5/6 RJ45 KVM switch device ports which provide low-level keyboard, video and
mouse connectivity to equipment within a rack. KVM Switches with Cat5/6 ports use
standard Cat5/6 UTP cabling with RJ45 connectors and dongles to connect computers,
which allow computers to be located much farther from the switch, up to 132 feet (40
meters) away. Dongles (P/N 37208-103 or 37208-104) are purchased separately.
• Buttons on the front panel that allow easy switching between computer ports. LED indicators
on the front panel to show if the computers are connected and powered on and which port is
selected. Users can also switch between ports using an intuitive on screen display menu or
using keyboard hot keys.
• A local console to connect external peripherals, like the 17” LCD KVM Drawer
(P/N 37200-11X or 37201-11X). Access to the switch can be password protected for eight
accounts.
• A remote console connection that provides access from a separate computer located
nearby. The remote console attaches to the switch using standard Cat5/6 UTP cabling with
RJ45 connectors which allows the computer to be located up to 500 feet (150 meters) away
from the switch.
• An IP connection that provides remote management capability for one user over a 10/100
TCP/IP network. Users access equipment through a Java-compatible web browser, like
Microsoft Windows Internet Explorer, using a password protected logon and switch between
computers using an intuitive on screen menu. Supports fifteen user accounts.
• An expansion connection that allows up to eight switches to be connected together
(cascade) providing access to 128 or 256 computers from the local, remote or IP consoles
on the first switch. KVM Switches with Cat5/6 ports use a proprietary cascade cable (P/N
37208-165) to connect together. No device ports are used. KVM Switches with Cat5/6 ports
will not connect to KVM Switches with DB15 ports.
