ATEN 2K DVI-D Dual Link KVM over IP Receiver with PoE

Experience powerful, flexible, and secure remote management of your critical workstations with the ATEN KE6912 system. This 2K DVI-D Dual Link KVM over IP extender is designed to bring the console to you, not the other way around. Comprised of a high-performance IP-based transmitter (KE6912T) that connects directly to your computer, and a receiver (KE6912R) that delivers a local-style console experience from a separate location, the KE6912 enables seamless control of a PC, server, or workstation over an IP network. The KE6912 supports a remote USB console, so you can operate with a keyboard, mouse, and other USB peripherals from a distant position without sacrificing performance or usability.

The KE6912 system is built for environments that require centralized access to multiple computers, data centers, broadcasting suites, control rooms, and workstations where space is at a premium and personnel need fast, reliable remote access. By transmitting video, audio, and USB signals over an IP network, the KE6912 eliminates the need for dedicated point-to-point cabling runs and enables flexible placement of consoles, monitors, and peripherals wherever it is most convenient. This makes it an ideal solution for IT labs, data centers, and enterprise environments that demand efficient asset management and rapid response times for maintenance and repairs.

• Remote access over IP: Connect to a computer from a distant location using the KE6912T transmitter and KE6912R receiver, enabling central control of servers and workstations without leaving your desk.
• 2K DVI-D Dual Link video: Delivers crisp, high-resolution output suitable for modern displays, ensuring that graphics, spreadsheets, and diagnostic tools appear with outstanding clarity and detail.
• Remote USB console: Use a keyboard, mouse, and USB peripherals at the remote console for authentic, native-sized interaction with the host computer as if you were seated in front of it.
• PoE-enabled receiver: The receiver benefits from Power over Ethernet, simplifying installation by reducing the need for separate power supplies and streamlining cable management.
• Modular, scalable design: The KE6912T/KE6912R pairing supports scalable deployments, making it straightforward to add additional systems or reconfigure layouts as needs evolve.

how to install ATEN 2K DVI-D Dual Link KVM over IP Receiver with PoE

• Plan your layout: Determine the location of the host computer, the KE6912T transmitter, and the KE6912R receiver. Ensure both devices can connect to the same IP network or routed networks with proper latency characteristics for responsive performance.
• Connect the host to the transmitter: Use a DVI-D Dual Link cable to link the computer’s video output to the KE6912T’s DVI input. Connect the USB keyboard and mouse (or USB hub with peripherals) to the transmitter if required by your setup.
• Establish the remote console: Position the KE6912R near the display, keyboard, and mouse for the remote console. Connect the display to the KE6912R’s DVI-D output and attach the USB peripherals to the receiver as needed for local access.
• Network wiring: Run network cables to link the KE6912T and KE6912R through a standard Ethernet switch or direct link, depending on your network design. Ensure the connection supports the required bandwidth for smooth video and USB performance.
• Power and deployment: If you are using PoE, connect the Ethernet cable from a PoE-enabled switch to the KE6912R to power the receiver. If PoE is not available, use an appropriate external power source for the receiver. Power up the transmitter as directed by the user manual.
• Configuration and testing: Power on the system and verify that the remote console can correctly display the host video and that keyboard/mouse input is transmitted back to the PC. Test USB peripheral connectivity to confirm interoperability with common devices.

Frequently asked questions

• Q: What does the KE6912 system include and how does it work?

  A: The KE6912 system includes a KE6912T transmitter that connects to the host computer and a KE6912R receiver that provides the remote console. The components communicate over an IP network, enabling keyboard, video, and mouse signals to be extended to a distant location with a USB console available for peripherals. This setup allows centralized management of multiple systems without sacrificing performance or user experience.

• Q: What video resolution can I expect with 2K DVI-D Dual Link support?

  A: The KE6912 supports 2K DVI-D Dual Link video, which provides high-quality, detailed displays suitable for contemporary monitors and professional workloads. You can rely on crisp imagery for diagnostics, data visualization, and multimedia tasks while maintaining responsive control from the remote console.

• Q: Is Power over Ethernet (PoE) required for operation?

  A: The receiver version includes PoE capabilities, allowing power delivery through the Ethernet connection. This feature simplifies installation and reduces the number of cables needed. If PoE is not available in your network, an external power supply can be used to power the receiver.

• Q: Can I use this system with multiple computers or expansion units?

  A: The KE6912 is designed for scalable deployments and can be integrated into broader KVM over IP environments. It enables central access to the connected host systems, and you can extend the solution by adding additional KE6912T/KE6912R pairs as your environment grows, while maintaining the same remote console experience.

• Q: Are USB devices supported at the remote console?

  A: Yes, the KE6912 system supports a remote USB console, enabling the use of keyboards, mice, and compatible USB peripherals at the remote location. This allows full interaction with the host system from the remote console as if you were directly in front of the machine.
