Tripp Lite B020-008-17-IP 8-Port NetDirector IP KVM Switch TAA Compliant

Tripp Lite's B020-008-17-IP is compliant with the Federal Trade Agreements Act (TAA) for GSA Schedule purchases. The B020-008-17-IP Console KVM Switch with built-in IP access allows secure access to multiple computers from a single KVM (keyboard, monitor and mouse) console. A single B020-008-17-IP can control up to 8 connected computers. By cascading a B022-U16 from each port, the number of connected computers can be expanded to 128. It consists of an integrated 17" LCD monitor, keyboard and touch pad in a 1U rackmountable, retractable sliding housing. The LCD and keyboard/touch pad modules slide independently of each other. To maximize space, the keyboard/touch pad module slides back to "hide away" when not in use, while the thin profile LCD monitor rotates back flush against the rack allowing convenient monitoring of computer activity. The B020-008-17-IP features IP-based connectivity that allows one local operator and one remote operator to simultaneously monitor and access the computers attached to the console. Because it uses TCP/IP for its communications protocol, the B020-008-17-IP can be accessed from any computer on the LAN, WAN or Internet whether that computer is located down the hall, down the street, or halfway around the world.
