Marketing description

Tripp Lite's B072-032-IP2 KVM Switch is the optimal solution for controlling up to 32 computers/servers locally, from across the room, down the street or around the globe on a network or the Internet.
This KVM switch can be accessed and controlled remotely, so there's no need to travel to the server room or network closet. A Java-based application allows access via web browser from any secure IP connection; a non-browser client that can bypass browser-related Java Security prompts is available.
The B072-032-IP2 uses inexpensive, user-supplied Cat5e/6/6a cabling with Server Interface Units (sold separately) so you can connect computers/servers located up to 100 ft. away from the switch. This switch features dual Ethernet ports and dual power supplies; if one fails, the other takes over, keeping access uninterrupted. Switch easily between the 32 ports using an on-screen display (OSD), hotkey commands or a remote toolbar. Multi-level password protection prohibits unauthorized users from accessing connected computers, and a local user and up to two remote users can each log on and access different ports simultaneously.
Two serial ports allow control of serial-manageable devices such as IP PDUs, firewalls and routers; individual ports can be assigned to an IP PDU port to power on/off the server connected to that port. This KVM switch is compatible with Windows and Linux operating systems and it supports VGA video resolutions up to 1920 x 1080 @ 60 Hz. Heavy-duty steel housing stands up to frequent use.
Virtual Media allows an.iso file to be mounted to a target server and accessed as if it were stored directly on it. Virtual Media data transfer rates up to 12Mbps are supported when using a B078-101-USB2 Server Interface Unit. Other features include RADIUS and LDAP/S authentication, system-sent SNMP messaging and an event log that tracks logins, reboots and network setting changes.
Free NetCommander-AXS Management Software is available to access and control all of your Tripp Lite NetCommander IP KVM switches (B070 and B072 series). From a single interface, you can access server ports on any of your KVM switches, power cycle or power on/off outlets of IP PDUs and manage KVM settings. This software can be downloaded free of charge from the model support page for the B072-032-IP2.

Key selling points

• Directly connect up to 32 computers/servers.
• Connected computers/servers can be located up to 100 ft. (30 m.) away from the KVM using inexpensive Cat5e/6 cabling and B078-101-USB, B078-101-USB-1, or B078-101-PS2 SIUs.
• Supports HD video resolutions up to 1920 x 1080, including widescreen formats such as 1680 x 1050 and 1600 x 1200
• Supports up to 2 simultaneous remote sessions.
• In addition to multiple remote sessions, a local user can access the KVM simultaneously to the remote users.
• Java-based application allows for control of a target server via web browser from any location over a secure IP connection.
• Remote authentication support - RADIUS and LDAP/S
• Supports both IPv4 and IPv6
• Accessing the connected computers is a breeze; a wide range of video and mouse sync settings ensure optimal remote session performance in any situation.
• Virtual Media allows an .iso file located in a Shared folder of a SAMBA or NFS server that is accessible to the KVM to be mounted to a Target Server and accessed as if it were directly stored on it. Virtual Media data transfer rates up to 12Mbps (B078-101-USB2 required) are supported.
• Supports the highest security standards for encryption (128-bit AES and HTTPS).
• BIOS level control to any server’s brand and model, regardless of the server condition and network connectivity. Covers the entire spectrum of crash scenarios.
• PDU Control – Allows you to add IP PDU’s as devices that can be controlled by the KVM. Individual ports on the KVM can be assigned to a port on a PDU, allowing you to Power Cycle or Power Off/On the computer/server connected to that port without leaving the KVM session screen.
• Multi-Level account access – Administrator and User accounts can be created, with a password being required to access the KVM switch and your assigned permissions. Administrator accounts have full access, while User accounts can be set up to access only the ports and features necessary to that individual.
• Dual Ethernet Ports – If one network port fails, the other takes over.
• Dual Power Supplies – If one power supply fails, the other takes over.
• Dual Serial Ports – Connect serial manageable devices, such as PDUs, firewalls, and routers.
• Allows for system sent messages to SNMP server to notify of LAN or power failures.
• Event log records events that take place on the installation, such as logins, reboots, network settings changes, etc..
• Allows for the installation of a SSL certificate to ensure secure transactions between the Web servers and browsers.
• Access and control the KVM via the graphical remote interface, or a text based local OSD.
• Flash upgradeable firmware over the network.
