The Local Console Managers enable you to share one workspace (keyboard, mouse, and display) across many target systems. The target systems are connected to the console switch via CAT-5 cables and the appropriate conversion option at the target end.

With server densities continually increasing, cable bulk remains a major concern for network administrators. The LCM8 and LCM16 switches significantly reduce KVM cable volume in the rack by utilizing the innovative conversion option cables and single, industry-standard CAT-5 UTP cabling. This allows a higher server density while providing greater airflow and cooling capacity. In addition, multiple target systems can be daisy-chained together using CAT-5 cables, and then all connected to the console switch using one cable, thereby eliminating a lot of cable clutter.

The 1754 LCM Digital Activation Key, part number 81Y2393, is a upgrade that turns the LCM KVM analog switch into a digital device enabling remote access to servers it is connected to. This device enables one remote user. The Digital Activation Key is a small USB device that is inserted into one of the USB ports at the rear of the unit. The following figure shows the Digital Activation Key. An LED on the end of the key shows its status.
