Aten International introduced its first digital KVM extender. The CE790 is an
IP-based KVM extender with automatic cable detection (auto-MDIX) and RS-232
serial functionality that allows access to a computer system from a remote USB
console (USBkeyboard, monitor, and USB mouse) anywhere on the Intranet.
The CE790 system consists of a transmitter (CE790T) that connects to the
computer system and a receiver (CE790R) that is located on a user's desk. Any
number of transmitters can be configured with any number of receivers, providing
access and control of various computing resources from any number of remote
consoles via a standard TCP/IP network.
Both the transmitter and receiver units are assigned a unique IP address and
connect via a single Cat 5e cable, making the CE790 digital KVM extender system
perfect for use in any type of installation where multiple consoles in
conveniently accessible locations are needed, such as control rooms, Internet
cafes, or computer-aided learning classrooms, or where a user wants the various
system equipment to reside in environmentally controlled and/or secure equipment
rooms.
