The ATEN CS1708i is an 8-port KVM over IP switch for IT teams and server administrators who need to monitor and control up to eight computers from one console, locally or remotely over a network. It supports USB and PS/2 computers, BIOS-level access, and daisy chaining for larger setups.
Recommended For
- IT administrators who need to reach up to eight rack-mounted servers over the network for BIOS-level checks, troubleshooting, or maintenance without being physically at the local console.
- Small server-room teams that want one local keyboard, monitor, and mouse console to switch among several computers, with optional daisy-chaining as the installation grows.
- Administrators maintaining older or mixed-generation computers that use VGA and PS/2 or USB keyboard-and-mouse connections.
- Support staff who need remote console access to machines that are difficult to reach in person, and whose workflow can use the switch’s Windows or Java client software.
Real-World Use Scenarios
- A technician managing a small server rack can switch among up to eight connected machines from one local keyboard, monitor, and mouse, avoiding repeated trips between consoles.
- When a server is stuck during startup or needs BIOS-level attention, an administrator can use the KVM console to view and control it before its operating system is available.
- An administrator away from the equipment can connect over the network to check a machine’s screen and perform basic keyboard-and-mouse troubleshooting, reducing the need to be physically at the rack.
- In a lab or server room with a mix of older PS/2 and USB-connected computers, staff can manage the connected machines through the same KVM setup rather than maintaining separate consoles.
- For a larger rack that outgrows eight directly connected computers, an IT team can daisy-chain compatible units and continue selecting machines from a centralized KVM setup.
