Connectivity includes four USB ports with keyboard and mouse support, plus a dedicated mini USB port on the front panel that serves as a Laptop USB Console (LUC) port for direct laptop connectivity. The device maintains 1920x1200 resolution at 60Hz across both local and remote consoles without degradation.
Relevant factors for this section include Connectivity Technology, Number of Computers Supported, Number of Local Users Supported, Maximum Video Resolution. When those points are considered together, they give buyers a clearer picture of how the product is equipped, how it fits into deployment, and what kind of day-to-day role it is meant to support.
Key Product Advantages
The CN9600 provides reliable remote server management with features designed for professional IT environments. The dual power supply configuration offers power backup protection, while the compact rack-mountable design optimizes space utilization in crowded server racks.
IP Extension Capability
Adds over-IP functionality to DVI KVM switches that lack built-in remote management, extending the lifespan and utility of existing KVM infrastructure.
High-Quality Video Processing
FPGA graphics processor delivers enhanced image quality and improved frames per second throughput for crisp, responsive video display during intensive administrative tasks.
Redundant Network Design
Dual Gigabit Ethernet ports enable redundant LAN configurations or separate IP operations, ensuring continuous access even during network segment failures.
Deployment / Use Cases
The ATEN CN9600 is ideal for extending remote management capabilities to existing DVI-based KVM installations in data centers, server rooms, and network operation centers. IT administrators can access servers from any network location without being physically present at the console.
This switch effectively bridges the gap between legacy DVI KVM equipment and modern IP-based management requirements. Organizations can maintain their current DVI KVM infrastructure while gaining the flexibility of remote access, avoiding costly complete system replacements.
Data Center Server Management
Manage rack-mounted servers remotely while maintaining local console access for on-site technicians, reducing the need for physical presence in secure server rooms.
Multi-Platform IT Environments
Support heterogeneous server environments including Windows, Linux, Mac, Sun, and serial devices from a single interface, simplifying administration across diverse platforms.
What's in the Box
The CN9600 ships complete with all necessary components for immediate deployment in rack-mounted environments.

FAQ
What does this KVM over IP switch actually do?
The ATEN CN9600 is a single-port DVI KVM over IP switch that enables both local and remote access to one computer. It adds IP-based remote management capability to existing DVI KVM switches that lack built-in over-IP functionality, allowing IT administrators to control servers from any network location while maintaining local console access.
What video resolution does this switch support?
The CN9600 supports maximum video resolution of 1920 x 1200 at 60Hz for both local and remote consoles. The FPGA graphics processor enhances image quality and frame throughput, ensuring crisp, responsive video display during administrative tasks without resolution degradation over IP connections.
How many computers can this KVM switch control?
This is a single-port KVM switch designed to control one computer while supporting one local user. The device focuses on extending remote access capabilities to individual servers or computers rather than providing multi-computer switching functionality.
What networking capabilities does this switch offer?
The CN9600 features two 10/100/1000 Mbps network interfaces that support redundant LAN configurations or separate IP operations. This dual-port design ensures continuous network connectivity even if one network segment fails, providing reliable remote access for critical server management tasks.
What is the Laptop USB Console (LUC) port used for?
The mini USB port on the front panel serves as a Laptop USB Console (LUC) port, allowing direct connection of a laptop for local console access. This provides temporary administrative access without requiring the full KVM cable setup, useful for quick troubleshooting or configuration tasks.
What connectivity or interface options are available?
Connectivity support is listed in the product specifications, including the relevant wireless or port options when available.
