Access to the web console is user-ID and SSL-password secure. The Remote Server Management over IP card supports 32 user accounts and incorporates SSL encryption of session data and SSL web communication encryption.

With both USB and PS/2 support, this switch easily handles a mixed platform environment to provide a central point of administration for all your servers. For added flexibility, you can attach your existing KVM switches to the SV841HDIE to remotely control up to 64 computers. The Auto Scan Mode lets you switch between computers for easy monitoring, and each computer name can be defined using the OSD (on-screen display) menu. This switch features hot-plugging that allows computers to be added or removed without you having to shut them down. It also includes an onboard Web Server, providing browser-based configuration and administration.
