ATEN KA8278 VGA/HDMI IP KVM Console Station
Overview
The ATEN KA8278 is an IP KVM console station designed for remote management of servers and network devices. It provides a high-resolution video interface (up to 1920 x 1200 @ 60Hz) allowing administrators to view and control systems from a distant location over an IP network. This unit is suited for control rooms or NOC environments where direct access to hardware is impractical or undesirable. The KA8278 model offers a cascade port for daisy-chaining multiple units, expanding management capabilities.
Compatibility
This console station is compatible with ATEN's range of KVM-over-IP switches and extenders that support the KA8278's video and network protocols. It is designed to interface with systems requiring a VGA or HDMI video input and a USB keyboard/mouse connection. The cascade port allows for integration into larger ATEN IP KVM matrix setups.
Installation Notes
The KA8278 supports both recessed and rack mounting configurations, providing installation flexibility within server racks or custom console setups. It requires a standard network connection via its RJ-45 port. Environmental considerations include operation within 0-80% RH, non-condensing humidity levels. Firmware can be upgraded to v1.7.165.
