CS1708i/CS1716i are IP-based KVM multi-computer switchers with remote management capabilities. They allow remote management personnel and local access to and control of multiple computers. Remote management personnel can access the KVM multi-computer switchers via a web browser using the TCP/IP communication protocol on the Internet. CS1708i and CS1716i can support up to 32 administrators to simultaneously log in to a single channel to access computers. Its innovative Message Board function, similar to a chat program, allows administrators to communicate with each other and exchange information in real time. This makes management more efficient when multiple systems are managed.
The CS1708i and CS1716i are IP‑based KVM switches that let remote administrators access and control up to 16 (CS1708i) or 32 (CS1716i) computers from a web browser. They support up to 32 simultaneous users, a message board for chat, and advanced security such as 128‑bit SSL and RC4 encryption.
The devices can be daisy‑chained to expand the system (up to 128 units for CS1708i or 256 for CS1716i), offer multi‑language web and OSD interfaces, and provide high‑resolution video (2048×1536 locally, 1600×1200 remotely). Power consumption is low, and the hardware fits a 1U rack with dimensions 43.30 × 16.00 × 4.40 cm. This manual is written in Chinese.
