Minicom ROC USB
One Minicom PS2 or USB ROC is required for each computer connected to the Smart 116IP Cat5 KVM Switch (part# 50122). The ROC (Remote interface connector on cable) is a dongle or remote interface connector that attaches the keyboard/video/mouse connection of a server to a Cat5-based Minicom Smart KVM Switch or SmartRack16 KVM switch solution with 1 user. One ROC is needed for each server (PS/2, USB or SUN)/device attached to the Smart KVM Switch for access and management. The ROC allows the KVM switch to be up to 30m away from the connected server via Cat5 cable.
Local or remote access to servers
The Smart 116 IP gives a system administrator secure, BIOS-level access and control to a rack of up to 16 servers, either remotely or locally. The rack-mountable, 1U-sized switch features innovative ROC (RICC on Cable) dongle technology that directly connects the Smart 116 IP to each server in the rack, eliminating cable clutter and providing 30m/100ft of range between the server and switch.
From single racks to globally distributed data centers
For bigger applications such as globally distributed servers or data centers, Smart 116 IP can be managed seamlessly under Minicom's KVM.net centralized management system. This makes it the ideal solution for forward-looking corporations requiring a versatile, high-performance KVM switch today, as well as centralized management tomorrow.
Industry standard security
The industry's most secure encryption, using 128-bit SSL protocol, guards your corporate data through every kind of remote access, to efficiently prevent hacking and security breaches.
BIOS-level, multi-platform access
As an out-of-band solution, the Smart 116 IP lets you connect directly to servers at the BIOS-level and gives access and control over mixed platforms, including PS/2 and USB devices.
