ATEN KL1508AM – manage eight computers from one console

Key specifications at a glance

Keep console access close at hand

The dual-rail design lets the LCD move independently of the keyboard and touchpad. So you can position the display and controls separately when accessing equipment in a rack. The LCD module rotates up to 120 degrees for a more comfortable viewing angle.

The console locks away when it is not in use. An additional console port also lets you manage the connected computers from an external monitor, keyboard and mouse.

Switch between systems with ease

Choose a computer using the front-panel buttons, hotkeys or the on-screen display. The OSD presents computers in a tree structure, making it easier to find the system you need. Auto Scan can monitor selected computers continuously.

For routine tasks across several systems, Broadcast Mode sends commands to all connected computers. You can also set port access rights and use password-protected accounts, with support for one administrator and up to ten users.

Plan cabling and resolution

RJ-45 connections use Cat 5e or Cat 6 cabling, helping keep rack cabling organised. KVM adapter cables support flexible interface combinations, including USB, PS/2, Sun and serial. Check that you have suitable adapters for the computers you plan to control.

The switch supports resolutions up to 1600 x 1200 pixels. It also supports RoHS compliance.
