Management Software
Free NetCommander-AXS Management Software is available for access and control of all of your NetCommander IP KVM switches (B070 and B072 Series). From a single interface, you can access server ports on any of your KVM switches, power cycle or power on/off outlets of IP PDUs, and manage KVM settings. This software can be found on the model support page of the B072-008-1-IP, or via searching NetCommander-AXS on https://tripplite.eaton.com
Overview
The B072-008-1-IP KVM Switch is the optimal solution for controlling up to eight computers/servers locally from across the room, down the street or around the globe on a network or the Internet.
This KVM switch can be accessed and controlled remotely, so there’s no need to travel to the server room or network closet. A Java-based application allows access via web browser from any secure IP connection. A non-browser client that can bypass browser-related Java Security prompts is available.
The B072-008-1-IP uses inexpensive, user-supplied Cat5e/6/6a cabling with Server Interface Units (sold separately) so you can connect computers/servers located up to 100 feet away from the switch. This switch features dual Ethernet ports. If one fails, the other takes over, keeping remote access uninterrupted. Users can switch easily between the ports using an on-screen display (OSD), hotkey commands or a remote toolbar. Multi-level password protection prohibits unauthorized users from accessing connected computers, and a local user and a remote user can each log on and access different ports simultaneously.
Two serial ports allow control of serial-manageable devices such as IP PDUs, firewalls and routers. Individual ports can be assigned to an IP PDU port to power on/off the server connected to that port. This KVM switch is compatible with both Windows and Linux operating systems, and provides remote access using a Windows computer. It supports VGA video resolutions up to 1920 x 1080 at 60 Hz. Heavy-duty steel housing stands up to frequent use.
Virtual Media allows an .iso file to be mounted to a target server and accessed as if it were stored directly on it. Virtual Media data transfer rates up to 12 Mbps are supported when using a B078-101-USB2 Server Interface Unit. Other features include RADIUS and LDAP/S authentication, system-sent SNMP messaging and an event log that tracks logins, reboots and network setting changes.
