Fingerprint recognition takes security to a new level

With the CL5708, 8-Port PS/2-USB LCD KVMP Switch and the 16-port version
CL5716, Aten launched the LCD KVM switch with 'optional' fingerprint
recognition. In addition to enhanced data center security, the CL5708 and CL5716
provide the latest in KVM switch technology.

A single CL5708 or CL5716 Slideaway LCD KVMP (P—peripheral) Switch with two
consoles (one bus) can control 8 or 16 servers. By daisy-chaining as many as 31
additional KVM switches, up to 512 servers can be controlled from a single KVM
console. For added security, the optional fingerprint identification system can
be used to control access to the CL5708 /CL5716, and all devices under its
command. For this feature, an administrator and up to four user accounts can use
any one of the recorded fingerprints to log in.

For installation, the CL5708 / CL5716 does not require any software, and
servers can be added or removed without having to power down the switch. As
professional solution for multi-platform environments, the switch supports all
major operating systems (Windows 2000, Windows XP, Windows Vista, Linux, Mac,
and Sun).
