Features
The features of an Interface Adapter include:
• Connection to an IP Console Switch through a single UTP CAT5 cable
• Reduction of cable bulk
• No external power required
• Compatible with Compaq legacy console switches
• Keep Alive functionality, enabling continuous mouse and keyboard data activity
to attached servers, even when the IP Console Switch is powered off
• Ability to identify Interface Adapter ID or EID from local or remote access
