Overview

The ATEN KA8288 is a Dual HDMI IP KVM Console Station designed for extending and switching console control over a network. This unit enables remote access to KVM extenders, allowing for operation of computers from a distance.

The KA8288 model supports a maximum resolution of 1920 x 1200 @ 60Hz, ensuring clear visual feedback for monitoring and operation.

Compatibility

This console station is engineered to interface with ATEN's IP KVM extenders. It functions as the remote console endpoint, receiving video, keyboard, and mouse signals over an IP network. It is compatible with ATEN's KVM extender series that utilize an RJ-45 cascade port for KVM signal transmission. Specific compatibility extends to systems requiring a dedicated console interface for management purposes, such as those used in server rooms or industrial control environments.

Installation Notes

The KA8288 features a recessed mount for integration into control panels or racks, alongside a standard rack mount capability. It includes a semi-recessed push-button for reset functions. The device operates within a humidity range of 0-80% RH (non-condensing). Firmware can be upgraded to v1.7.165, facilitating potential feature enhancements or bug fixes. A single RJ-45 female port serves as the cascade connection for KVM signal routing.
