Target Applications and Markets
Network Administrators, System Administrators, Engineering Managers, Chief Information Officers, and Managers of Information
Systems are all among the users who will see benefits from using the HP family of console switches.
24/7 data centers
- The HP IP Console Switch enables staffed data centers to move people out of computer rooms while still
maintaining server accessibility. Technicians can load the IP Viewer software on their local workstation at a desk or cubicle and
access the servers in the computer room through a LAN/WAN connection.
Staffed remote sites
- The HP IP Console Switch provides users with access to local KVM functions over their LAN or WAN.
Remote users can access servers and perform actions as if they are standing at a local console.
Heterogeneous environments
- The HP IP Console Switch connects to any type of server that has a standard PS/2 or USB KVM
connection and will also connect to BladeSystems and serial devices.

Full remote KVM functionality
- Remote KVM control of servers and serially attached devices at near local performance.
Remote virtual media
- Easily load and update software and firmware from anywhere on the LAN or WAN when used with
Virtual Media Interface Adapters.
iLO compatibility
- Easily switch between remote KVM and iLO sessions directly from the IP Viewer software.
Local Console User Interface
- Displays all system-related information on the console monitor. Same look and feel as the
remote On-Board Web Interface (OBWI).
Programmable Scanning
- An evaluation of system performance can be made by sequentially scanning any or all of the
computers in the system. Programmable scanning allows you to determine which computers to include as well as the duration
of the connection.
Configuration NVRAM
- NVRAM (non-volatile RAM) makes it easy to set configuration information using commands entered
from the keyboard. The NVRAM stores the resulting configuration until a user decision is made to change the information, even if
the unit loses power.
Password Protection
- For protection against unauthorized users, the switch box provides a local password option for security
purposes as well as individual user authentication and access rights for remote users.
