Description
Tripp Lite’s B072-016-1-IP KVM Switch is the optimal solution for controlling up to 16 computers/servers
locally, from across the room, down the street or around the globe on a network or the Internet.
q
(PS/2) Server Interface Unit is
required for each connected
computer/server
This KVM switch can be accessed and controlled remotely, so there’s no need to travel to the server room
or network closet. A Java-based application allows access via web browser from any secure IP
connection; a non-browser client that can bypass browser-related Java Security prompts is available.
For computers with Displayport
or HDMI, change to VGA using
Tripp Lite adapters P134-06N-
VGA-V2 or P131-06N.
The B072-016-1-IP uses inexpensive, user-supplied Cat5e/6/6a cabling with Server Interface Units (sold
separately) so you can connect computers/servers located up to 100 ft. away from the switch. This switch
features dual Ethernet ports; if one fails, the other takes over, keeping remote access uninterrupted. Users
can switch easily between the 16 ports using an on-screen display (OSD), hotkey commands or a remote
toolbar. Multi-level password protection prohibits unauthorized users from accessing connected
computers, and a local user and a remote user can each log on and access different ports simultaneously.

B072-016-1-IP was released in
2014, requiring different firmware
from the previous version (v1). The

applicable firmware, it contains an
FW Notes file to help you
determine which hardware version
you have and which firmware to
use. The current firmware comes
pre-installed on all v2 models.
Virtual Media allows an .iso file to be mounted to a target server and accessed as if it were stored directly
on it. Virtual Media data transfer rates up to 12Mbps are supported when using a B078-101-USB2 Server
Interface Unit. Other features include RADIUS and LDAP/S authentication, system-sent SNMP messaging
and an event log that tracks logins, reboots and network setting changes.
