The KL1516AiM KVM switch is a dual-rail LCD KVM switch that allows you to control up to 16 computers from a single console (keyboard, monitor, and mouse). It features a built-in 43 cm LCD screen, a full-size keyboard, and a touchpad, and is mounted in a 1U rackmount for 19-inch racks in a retractable housing. The LCD monitor and the keyboard module with touchpad can be pulled out of the rack independently. To create more space in the data center, the keyboard module with touchpad can be pushed in while the slim LCD screen remains extended and flat against the rack for monitoring the computers - allowing for convenient observation of computer activity. The KL1516Ai enables local and remote sysops to monitor and control multiple computers over an IP network. Because it uses the TCP/IP protocol for communication, the KL1516Ai can be operated from any computer in the LAN, WAN, or Internet - regardless of whether it is in the same room, across the street, or on another continent.
