16-Port IP Based KVM
The IOGEARs GCS1816i is an IP-based KVM
switch that allows both local and remote
operators to monitor and access multiple
computers. Remote users access the switches
over the Internet through a web browser
using TCP/IP protocol. GCS1816i supports up
to 64 user accounts and allows 32 concurrent
user logins for a single-bus computer
access. The Message Board, a built-in
feature that resembles an Internet chat
program, lets users communicate with each
other. The ability to exchange information
in real time allows users to manage the KVM
switch and connected computers in a smooth
and efficient manner.
Secure Connection
The GCS1816i features many security tools
such as 128-bit SSL encryption for browser
access and RC4 128-bit encryption for secure
data transmission. The 16 port IP based KVM
switch also supports third party
authentication such as RADIUS, LDAP, LDAPS,
and MS Active Directory. In addition, IP and
Mac filters provide added security against
unauthorized access. The Log Server, a
Windows-based administrative utility,
records all the events that take place on
the GCS816i and writes them to a searchable
database.
Once logged in to GCS1816i, users can
manage the computers via the virtual remote
desktop window. Mouse DynaSync™ optimizes
the remote and local cursors
synchronization.
