Utilizing expertise in over IP KVM solutions, KE6940A series is an IP based DVI KVM extender that allows access to a computer system from a remote USB console (USB keyboard, USB mouse, DVI monitor) anywhere over an intranet and the Internet.

KE6940A dual-view extender supports two DVI displays at each end, allowing the video output to display on two monitors.

KE6940A extender is consisted of a high performance IP-based Transmitter (KE6940AiT) that connects to the computer and a Receiver (KE6940AR) that provides console access from a separate location. KE6940A allows extended access of computer systems remotely via USB consoles (USB keyboard, USB mouse, DVI monitor) over intranet and the Internet, enabling users to place the computer system in secure and temperature controlled environments, which maybe isolated from users' workstation.

KE6940A DVI-I dual-display KVM over IP extender supports two DVI displays at each end and provides lossless and low latency video transmissions up to 1920x1200 @ 60Hz.

KE6940AiT supports Control Center Video Session Recorder (CCVSR) software. CCVSR records all operations made on servers accessed through KVM over IP switches. Every operation and change – boot-ups at BIOS level to system level, logging in and logging out, running software applications to configuring the operating system – are recorded and saved to a secure video file for security reference and troubleshooting purposes, etc.

KE6940A supports connections via an RJ-45 port or a SFP slot. The transmitter and receiver can be connected either directly to each other, or via a high-speed network over a copper-based or fiber-based LAN. Connecting via the SFP slot with 1Gbps SFP fiber module* expansions on fiber optic network, you can extend transmission distances up to 6.2 miles (10 km). KE6940A also features dual power supplies for redundancy to ensure dependable services.

As an IP-based matrix extender, KE6940A can be used as a point-to-point / point-to-multipoint / multipoint-to-point extender, or integrated into a KVM over IP matrix system (multipoint-to-multipoint) when combined with the KE Matrix Management software (CCKM), providing more flexible applications in different working environments.

As a matrix extender it can connect single/multiple (computers-to-consoles) in several ways:
• One-to-one (extender mode)
• One-to-many (splitter mode)
• Many-to-one (switch mode), or
• Many-to-many (matrix mode)

Implementing the KE Matrix Management software (CCKM) with KE6940A, IT administrators can benefit from advanced features such as auto detection of all KE6940A devices on the same subnet for the sake of fast installation or configuration, username/password authentication and authorization, and the ability to define different types of connections that can be switched and shared.

KE Matrix Manager^® software provides advanced features for username/password authentication, autodetection of all KE6940A devices on the same subnet and define connections that can be switched and shared. New security features also provide extra protection, supporting AES-128bits encryption for secured data transmission, while RADIUS, LDAP, AD or remote user authentication provides added layer of connection security.

Security features also provide extra protection, supporting AES-128bits encryption for secured data transmissions, while RADIUS, LDAP, AD or remote user authentication provides an added layer of connection security.

Moreover, with an OSD, RS-232 support, and Auto MDIX, KE6940A is the most cost-effective and convenient way to get a full digital extension from anywhere on the intranet and the Internet.

Over IP
Extend a computer's KVM console any distance over a LAN by connecting the Tx and Rx units to your network. Extend a computer's KVM console up to 328 feet (100 meters) by directly connecting the Tx and Rx units with a single CAT-5e/6 cable. Standard IP protocols ensure maximum compatibility with your existing IT infrastructure and staff skill set.

Redundancy
KE6940A supports connection via Gigabit Ethernet port (RJ-45) and SFP port for failover or for dual IP addresses access. Moreover, KE6940A supports dual power for redundant power supply.

SFP Module
KE6940A supports 1Gbps SFP fiber module*** expansions, enabling connections with network switch allowing either an optical fiber channel SFP module or active copper SFP module. The single-mode SFP module provides 1GbE connectivity up to 6.2 miles (10 km) while the multi-mode SFP module provides 1GbE connectivity up to 1804 feet (550 meters).

Unprecedented Video Quality
ATEN's advanced graphics processor delivers video that ensures you to experience the same vivid and sharp image quality on the remote monitor no matter how far away the console is located.

Advanced Management System
The KE Matrix Management software (CCKM) allows you to easily administer all KE devices over a network, using an intuitive user-friendly web based GUI.

Boundless Switching*
Simply move the mouse cursor across screen boundaries to switch between different receivers. The function expedites the process of switching between receivers for a smooth and hassle-free user experience and enables immediate monitoring and management of receivers.

Flexibility
KE extender allows you to access, share, and switch full control of Tx connected computers - from any Rx (KVM console) on the network. Flexibly allows One-to-One, One-to-Many, Many-to-One, or Many-to-Many computer to KVM console connections.

Enhanced Security Features
Compliant with universal enterprise grade security standards (AES encryption to secure video/keyboard/mouse/data transmission and Transport Layer Security (TLS) protocol), KE extender provides different levels of username / password authentication and authorization.
