The CS1708i KVM switch is IP-based KVM control units that allow both local and remote operators to monitor and access multiple computers. Remote users access the switches over the Internet by means of a web browser using TCP/IP for its remote communications protocol. A built-in feature that resembles an Internet chat program - the Message Board - lets them communicate with each other. The ability to exchange information in real time allows them to cooperatively manage the installation in a smooth and efficient manner.Among the CS1708i's other outstanding features, a panel array mode provides the ability to simultaneously monitor up to 16 servers per switch; while the Mouse DynaSync feature automatically synchronizes the local and remote mouse pointer movements for perfect alignment regardless of what the mouse acceleration settings on the server are.These powerful features not only help administrators manage their server room in an efficient and flexible manner, it provides a cost effective management solution for the SMB sector.
