Introduction

Overview

The KN9116 is an IP-based KVM control unit that allows both local and

remote operators to monitor and access multiple computers from a single

console. A single KN9116 can control up to 16 computers.

Since the KN9116 uses TCP/IP for its communications protocol, it can be

accessed from any computer on the Net - whether that computer is located

down the hall, down the street, or half-way around the world.

Access to any computer connected to the installation from the local console 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.
