The KE8900SR can be set on a desk, mounted on a wall or at the rear of a rack with its space-saving 0U rack mount design. Moreover, the KE8900S can be used as a point-to-point / point-to-multipoint / multipoint-to-point extender, or integrated into a KVM over IP Matrix System (multipoint to-multipoint) when combined with the KVM over IP Matrix Manager (CCKM), providing more flexible applications in different working environments.

The KVM over IP extender provides multiple ways for configuration, such as the receiver’s local OSD, CCKM, or RS-232 / Telnet text menu. The KVM over IP extender also offers enhanced security features such as supporting AES encryption for secured Video / Keyboard / Mouse / USB data transmissions and RADIUS / LDAP / AD or remote user authentication that provides an added layer of connection security.

When integrated with the CCKM, the KVM over IP extender supports more advanced features such as boundless switching, fast switching, video wall, multi display, profile scheduling, auto detection of all KE Series extenders on the same subnet for the sake of fast installation or configuration, as well as username / password authentication and authorization.
