       Product Overview  
 
  The X688 8-port IP KVM Switch provides secure and convenient access to eight computers/servers from a single KVM (keyboard, monitor, and mouse) console. With this switch, a single KVM can directly control up to eight computers/servers through the internet or your local area network (LAN). Unlike software solutions that require installation and operate through your server's operating system, the X688 offers KVM control from the BIOS level onwards.

With the X688, you can effortlessly reboot, monitor the entire boot process, and interact with your connected systems. The integrated remote ATX power control feature allows you to conveniently power on/off, reset, and monitor power and storage LED activity remotely. Additionally, the switch supports HDMI pass-through and includes two local USB ports, enabling both local and remote operators to monitor and access up to eight computers/servers. Remote users can access the switches over the Internet via a web browser using TCP/IP for its remote communications protocol.

The X688 also offers user-friendly switching methods, including a browser-based UI interface and pushbuttons that simplify the process of switching between computers, making monitoring tasks more efficient.
