8-Port IP Based KVM
The IOGEAR GCS1808i 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. GCS1808i 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.
The GCS1808i features many security tools such as the 128-bit SSL encryption for browser access and RC4 128-bit encryption for secure data transmission. GCS1808i 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 GCS1808i, users can manage the computers via the virtual remote desktop window. Mouse DynaSync™ optimizes the remote and local cursors synchronization.
Additional PS/2 and USB KVM Cables
This kit includes an additional 3 PS/2 cables (1 x 6ft, 2 x 10ft) and 3 USB KVM cables (1 x 6ft, 2 x 10ft). Our custom-made cables are designed to provide the highest signal capacity with the
lowest signal loss. This important technology produces the highest quality video output - even after long distance transmission or in the most electronically noisy environments such as server
cabinets. IOGEAR's premium custom - made KVM cables guarantee optimum signal integrity for high -grade server needs. The keyboard and mouse cables are made of double-sealed 22-gauge
wire and are neatly wrapped with a heavy-duty video cable for simplified connections.
