AV3216: 16-port KVM over IP switch 

provides access to a remote user via a Web browser + local access at the rack to control DisplayPort, HDMI, DVI, or VGA, USB or PS/2 targets, with CAC and virtual-media support 

Built for small datacenters and remote/branch office environments, AutoView 3000-series KVM over IP switches provide consolidated, streamlined access to server resources. Centralize the management of the switches with DSView 4 management software.

AV3216 switch supports two concurrent users (one remote + one local) to control up to 16 servers. It also supports two local users (one at a time).

When in share mode, additional, authenticated users can share remote sessions for a total of up to 4 remote, concurrent users. Each AutoView™ switch supports VGA, DisplayPort, DVI and HDMI video targets and four USB 2.0 ports for USB enabled devices.

When additional systems are added, AutoView switches can be tiered to provide consolidated management of up to 256 servers.

Streamlined Management
Vertiv Avocent AV3000-series KVM over IP switches ship with two intuitive, integrated management interfaces: OSCAR™ on-screen display for local access and the Web User Interface for remote management.

Additionally, AV3000-series KVM over IP switches are compatible with Avocent DSView™ management software for consolidated management across the infrastructure.

Secure
In high security environments, CAC support with encryption for smart cards and password protection for local users, provides security you can depend on for your virtual media sessions. AES encryption can be selected for keyboard, mouse and video signals and virtual media sessions.
