KN4064VB switch is an IP-based KVM control unit that allow both local and remote operators to monitor and access multiple servers from a single console. This KVM over IP switch can control up to 64 servers, and by cascading compatible KVM switch, as many as 512 servers can be controlled on a complete two-stage installation.

Each KVM over IP switch features superior video quality (Full HD resolution of 1920x1200), virtual media transmissions at double speed, FIPS 140-2 with level 1 security standards by using an embedded FIPS 140-2 certified OpenSSL cryptographic module. Equipped with dual on-board NICs, KN4064VB is built to ensure reliability and availability of remote access to all servers. 

The KN series provides local console and remote over IP access for users to monitor and access their entire data center over a network. In addition, it offers out-of-band access with external modem support for BIOS-level troubleshooting when the network is down.

KN4064VB can be remotely accessed via WinClient / JavaClient at a console from a separated location for management and operation. ATEN also provides an iOS app - PadClient, whose intuitive interface makes it easy to connect to the KVM over IP switch and control computers direct from user's iPad.

Since the switch uses TCP/IP for its communications protocol, it can be accessed via its IP address from anywhere on the LAN, WAN, or Internet - whether the connecting computer is located down the hall, down the street, or half-way around the world. Remote operators can log in via their browser or make use of stand-alone Windows or Java GUI applications. Java allows the switch to work with JRE (Java Runtime Environment) enabled operating systems - ensuring multi-platform operability.

The client software allows operators to exchange keyboard, video and mouse signals with the servers attached to the switch just as if they were present locally and working on the  quipment directly. 

Up to 16 users can share the switch's buses. A Message Board feature allows them to communicate with each other to facilitate port sharing. Administrators can handle a multitude of maintenance tasks with ease - from installing and running GUI applications, to BIOS level troubleshooting, routine monitoring, concurrent maintenance, system administration, rebooting  and even pre-boot functions.

KN4064VB also supports web-friendly KVM-over-IP access with its Web Client Viewer functionality. Being fully compatible with major web browsers, the Web Client Viewer runs directly off the browser without Java or browser plug-in installation. Like the Java or Windows plug-in counterparts, the Web Client Viewer allows users to remotely access all the servers and PCs connected to the KN series, but benefiting from a more simultaneous, directaccess option for management and operation.

For added convenience to management, an iPad application - PadClient, is also available. It has an intuitive interface that makes real-time access and control of the servers/computers simple and mobile.

Local console operation is easily accomplished by entering hotkey combinations from the keyboard with a full screen GUI display.

Monitoring the installation's activities couldn't be easier. A convenient Auto Scan feature permits automatic switching from port to port at user-specified intervals, while the Panel Array  Mode can display the video output of up to 64 servers at the same time.

KN4064VB supports 4 buses and up to 64 connected and controlled computers. Each bus permits a separate user session so that up to 4 (shared local and remote) concurrent independent connections to the attached servers can take place.

KN4064VB provides out-of-band access with external modem support for BIOS-level troubleshooting when the network is down. It enables IT administrators to manage network devices (e.g. server, storage, router, and switch) in server rooms via management networks that are separate from the main / production networks. If there's difficulty in accessing the network devices through the production network, the administrators can still access them via the KVM switch. The KVM switch offers several out-of-band access methods, such as a direct console connection from a local computer, a USB console connection from a laptop, a PSTN connection via modem, or a dedicated management network connection via the Ethernet (LAN) port.

The switch features RJ-45 connectors allowing it to use CAT-5e cable to link to the servers. This space-saving innovation means that a full 64-port switch can be conveniently installed in a 2U system rack, and the installation can take advantage of the internal network wiring built into most modern commercial buildings.

Setup is fast and easy - plugging cables into their appropriate ports is all that is entailed. Because the switch intercepts keyboard input directly, there is no need to get involved in complex software installation routines, or to be concerned with incompatibility problems.

Since the firmware is upgradeable over the network, you can stay current with the latest functionality improvements simply by downloading firmware updates from our website as they become available.

With its powerful security features, the KVM over IP switch provides the fastest, most reliable, most cost-effective way to remotely access and manage widely distributed multiple server installations.

KN4064VB has an Adapter ID function that stores port information like the adapter ID, OS, keyboard language, adapter name, operation modes and more, so that when you move a KVM Adapter Cable from one port to another, the switch recognizes the same adapter cable at the new location. Also, for greater ease of use when moving the adapter cable to another switch, the adapter ID, OS, keyboard language, adapter name, and operation modes of the port stay with the adapter.

KN4064VB switch supports advanced virtual media functions that allow higher transmission speed and mapping of USB DVD/CD/hard drives and other storage media directly to a server. Virtual media support allows you to conduct file transfers, install applications and OS patches and perform diagnostics remotely. You can upgrade your entire installation from a single remote console located anywhere in the world.

KN4064VB offers dual power supplies so that if one of the power supplies fails, the second power supply automatically takes over. In addition to supporting dual power, they guard against power failure from your server room outlets. If your server room has more than one power source, connecting the power supplies to different power sources is a wise choice. If one of the server room power supplies loses power, the switch will automatically adjust the power it draws from the second source to keep functioning.

KN4064VB supports temperature sensors that can control internal fans. The sensors regulate the fans so that they run at optimum speed depending on the server room temperature - throttling down when necessary, to use energy more efficiently and prolong the life of both the fans and the switch.

KN4064VB is also audio enabled. Microphone and speakers are supported on the local console for servers connected with dongles that support analog (3.5mm) microphone and speakers. Speakers are supported on the remote users' computers only for servers connected with HDMI and DisplayPort dongles, as well as with dongles that support analog (3.5mm) speakers. Both microphone and speakers are supported on the remote users' computers only for servers connected with dongles that support analog (3.5mm) microphone and speakers.

KN4064VB can be integrated into ATEN's CC2000 management software. CC2000 puts administrators in complete control of remote data centers and branch offices no matter where they are in the world - allowing them to remotely monitor and control all devices on a network.

KN4064VB is compatible with ATEN's KVM over IP Console Station, the KA82 series (see listing below). The KA82 series is a standalone console that replaces PC or NB, enabling users to remotely access, monitor and control all servers connected to multiple ATEN's KN series with impenetrable security against virus threats. It is especially suitable for environments where a PC is not allowed.

To help you manage and control an entire data center, ATEN KN4064VB switch supports blade servers and chassis. With powerful features such as Power Association - KVM ports can be associated with ATEN PDU power outlets for power management of servers from the KVM over IP switch' user interface.

In addition, the KN series works with ATEN's PDU remote power management systems from the KVM over IP switch' user interface. 

Additional exclusive features of KN series include Message Board, Panel Array Mode, Mouse DynaSync™, and the adapter ID.

ATEN KVM over IP switch save user's time and money by allowing administrators to manage their data centers from practically anywhere - minimizing travel and MTTR (Mean Time to Repair) costs, ensuring the highest availability for data center services.
