Introduction

Overview

The KVM over IP Console Station (KA8270/KA8278/KA8280/KA8288)

is a standalone console that replaces PC or NB, enabling users to

remotely access, monitor and control all servers connected to multiple

ATEN’s KVM over IP switches* with impenetrable security against virus

threats. It also supports various data encryption methods, ensuring

impervious data protection. The KVM over IP Console Station can be

deployed anywhere instant access is needed and stringent security

required, ideal for applications such as studios, offices, data centers,

broadcast stations, control rooms, or network operations centers

(NOC).

All the KA8270, KA8278, KA8280, and KA8288 support USB mouse/

keyboard and two USB ports for Virtual Media function, and

respectively support 1 VGA video output, 1 VGA plus 1 HDMI video

outputs, 1 HDMI video output, and 2 HDMI video outputs at resolutions

up to 1920 x 1200 @ 60 Hz. With KA8278 and KA8288, users can

multitask across two displays with a single keyboard and mouse.

In addition, the KVM over IP Console Station provides Panel Array

Mode™ function, enabling administrators to monitor the video output of

up to 64 servers simultaneously. The feature makes it possible for

previewing the content of all the ports at the same time, which is

especially suitable for environments such as manufacturing and

surveillance that often require monitoring of a much higher number of

ports.

The KVM over IP Console Station can be set on a desk, mounted on a

wall or at the rear of a rack with its space-saving 0U rack mount design.

It is flexible and easy to install, and provides a GUI with multi-language

Overview

This chapter outlines different ways of mounting your KVM over IP

Console Station as well as a quick hardware connection summary in the

form of single stage installation.

Before You Begin

1. Important safety information regarding the placement and

grounding of this device is provided on page 81 and

onwards. Please review it before proceeding.

2. Make sure that power to all the devices you will be

connecting up have been turned off. You must unplug the

power cords of any computers that have the Keyboard

Power On function.

Mounting

The KVM over IP Console Station can be rack mounted or wall

mounted. The following sections take you through the procedures for

each method.

Rack Mounting

The KVM over IP Console Station is designed to be mounted at the rear

of a rack, where it occupies 0U to save space.

1. Remove two bottom screws of the unit and use those to screw the

mounting bracket to the bottom of the unit as shown in the diagram

below:

2. Screw the mounting bracket to any convenient location on the rack.

Note: Rack screws are not provided to mount the unit. We

recommend that you use M5 x 12 Phillips type I cross screws.

Wall Mounting

1. Remove two bottom screws of the unit and use those to screw the

mounting bracket to the bottom of the unit as shown in the diagram

below:

2. Use the mounting bracket’s center screw hole to mount the unit on

a wall.

Single Stage Installation

For a single stage installation, refer to the installation diagram and

procedures shown below (KA8278 is used as an example):

Note: The numbers shown in the diagram are the installation steps

corresponding directly to the steps below.

1. Plug the connectors of your USB mouse, USB keyboard, micro-

phone, and speakers into their respective ports on the front panel of

the KVM over IP Console Station. Each port is color coded and

marked with an icon.

2. Plug the monitor into the VGA or the HDMI port on the rear panel of

the KVM over IP Console Station.

Note:

1. KA8270 supports 1 VGA video output, KA8278 supports 1 VGA

and 1 HDMI video outputs, KA8280 supports 1 HDMI video

output, and KA8288 supports 2 HDMI video outputs.

2. For models that support two video outputs (KA8278 and

KA8288), the video interface at the inner side (e.g., the VGA

video interface of KA8278) is the Primary Display, the video

interface at the outer side is the Secondary Display.

3. Login page will appear on Primary Display and make sure you

use the Primary Display to log in.

3. Plug an Ethernet cable from the LAN into the KVM over IP Console

Station’s LAN port.

4. (Optional) Plug USB drives into the dedicated USB ports located on

the front panel.

5. (Optional) To cascade one more unit, plug one end of a Cat 5e

cable into the Cascade port on the front panel, and then plug the

other end of the cable to the LAN port of another KVM over IP

Console Station. The added unit will gain the first unit’s Internet

connection.

Configuration / control of each unit is separate.

Note: Do not connect the Cascade Port to a network switch or it will

cause a switching loop.

6. (Optional) Use a grounding wire to connect the Grounding Terminal

on the rear panel of the KVM over IP Console Station to a suitable

grounded object.

7. Plug the power adapter into an AC source with the power cord; then

plug the other end into the KVM over IP Console Station’s Power

Jack.

Hot Plugging

KVM over IP console stations support hot plugging – components can

be removed and added back into the installation by unplugging and

replugging cables from the ports without the need to shut the unit down.

Powering Off and Restarting

If it becomes necessary to power off the console station, please use the

shut down function (see Shutdown on page 62), disconnect the power

adapter and wait 30 seconds before reconnecting it back.
