Introduction
Overview
The CL5708 / CL5716 Slideaway
TM
LCD KVMP Switch is an integrated LCD
console and keyboard, video, and mouse (KVM) switch that offers secure
access to 8 or 16 attached computers and mounts in only 1U of rack space. It
features an independently retractable 17” LCD monitor and keyboard with
built-in touchpad. An extra console port is provided on the rear panel to
manage the LCD KVM switch from an external console (monitor, keyboard,
and mouse) up to 20 meters away. For added convenience it also supports an
external USB mouse.
The CL5708 / CL5716 supports both PS/2 and USB keyboards and mice for
the connected computers, and the CL5708 / CL5716 supports USB peripheral
devices to be used with the attached computers. A single CL5708 / CL5716 can
control up to 8 or 16 computers. As many as 31 additional compatible KVM
switches can be daisy chained together, so that up to 256 or 512 computers can
all be controlled from a single keyboard, monitor, and mouse console. (See the
Appendix for a list of compatible ATEN switches.)
The CL5708 / CL5716 is built on a modular design. The KVM section can be
detached from the switch section for convenient maintenance and repair. A
special feature of the CL5708 / CL5716 D and E models is their use of DC
power instead of the AC power used by most switch products.
There are four models in the series as outlined in the following table:
Model LCD Panel KVM Ports Power
CL5708D 17" 8 DC
CL5716D 17" 16 DC
CL5708M 17" 8 AC
