Introduction

Overview

The RCM KVM over IP Switch is a 1-local/remote share access single port

over-IP KVM device exclusively designed for production line applications,

which grants the video, audio, mouse & keyboard, and virtual media access of

a PC or workstation at a production line to a remote console.

The RCMVGA101, RCMDVI101, RCMHD101U, and RCMDP101U

respectively supports one VGA, one DVI, one 4K HDMI, and one 4K

DisplayPort video transmission, and is equipped with an FPGA graphics

processor for optimal image quality.

The RCM KVM switches are integrated with ATEN’s exclusive RCM API to

offer users a multitude of functions, such as OCR, for customizable system

integration and automation.

With RS-232 DTE / DCE standards, it also provides serial control with its CPU

COM and local console COM ports.

For user-friendly operation, an USB Mini-B port on the front panel is designed

as a laptop USB console (LUC) port. By simply connecting a laptop to the LUC

port, users can access any computer connected to the switch for easy on-site

management. That means no additional monitor, keyboard and mouse is

required for routine, local maintenance. Additionally, the RCM KVM switch’s

virtual media function allows users to perform diagnostic testing, file transfers,

or apply OS/application updates and patches from a remote console.

To ensure seamless connectivity, the RCM KVM over IP Switch is designed

with dual LAN and dual power functionality for keeping operation at the

production line smooth and efficient. The switch also supports microphone and

speakers on the local and remote console.

For ease of remote management, the RCM KVM over IP Switch supports web-

friendly KVM-over-IP access with its Web Client Viewer functionality, which

is compatible with major web browsers and runs directly off the browser

without Java or browser plug-in installations. Like its Java or Windows plug-

in counterparts, it allows users to remotely access the server / PC connected to

the device, but benefiting from a more direct and simple access option for

management and operation.
