Support for Serial Conversion Option, (SCO) 46M5382 Support for Virtual Media Conversion Option Gen2, VCO2 (46M5383) Support for KVM (PS/2) Conversion Option, KCO (39M2897) Support for USB Conversion Option, UCO (43V6147 and 39M2895) User Authentication via remote LDAP server User Authentication via user database in console switch Manage remotely with Virtual Console Software (VCS) Maximum number of target systems - Tiered configuration Maximum number of target systems - Daisy-chained Maximum number of target systems - Direct (ARI ports) 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. This allows a higher server density while providing greater airflow and cooling capacity. The GCM16 and GCM32 switches significantly reduce KVM cable volume in the rack by utilizing the innovative conversion option cables and single, industry-standard CAT-5 UTP cabling. With server densities continually increasing, cable bulk remains a major concern for network administrators. Connections to serial devices are also supported with serial conversion options.

Conversion options are available with either USB or PS/2 connectors. The target systems are connected to the console switch via CAT-5 cables and the appropriate conversion option at the target end.

The GCM digital console switches enable you to share one workspace (keyboard, mouse, and display) across many target systems.
