PX - Single server IP device
The PX is a compact, cost effective, single server IP device for non-blocking access to servers. The high performance device provides superior video, real-time mouse synchronization, SSL encryption, and full screen mode. Connecting a PX to each of your mission critical servers turns the KVM.net II system into a fully secure, digital, non-blocking matrix solution allowing any number of remote users to control any number of servers, regardless of their physical location and topology. The rack-mountable PX uses Power Over Ethernet technology (POE switch or MidSpan power hub) for efficient, clutter free power management.
Smart IP Access - Remote access to your legacy switches and servers
Smart IP Access provides KVM/IP access to servers and analog KVM switches. It is designed to work with all Minicom and most 3rd party switches. The feature rich device provides superior video, real-time mouse synchronization, SSL encryption, and full screen mode. The Smart IP Access can also be used in stand-alone applications for direct remote KVM access.
