4. KVM features

Benefit from G&D's sophisticated KVM features and expand your KVM system – for additional security, better collaboration and easier operation.

Preventive monitoring, SNMP trap & agent

Operational safety and reliability are essential for G&D devices. Together with SNMP trap & agent, the monitoring function of many G&D devices offers the following options and functions:

  • Monitoring of system statuses
  • Transmission of information via SNMP and as syslog message
  • Defined conditions and exceeded thresholds are stored in the web interface and can be viewed anytime
  • SNMP management software automatically receives any status event sent by G&D devices
  • The SNMP-GET function enables you to query, for example, the device temperature and to provide statistics on top values as well as to recognise critical values in advance.
  • SNMP-SET requests have an active impact on a G&D product (for example when changing channels at a KVM switch)

TradeSwitch function and CrossDisplay-Switching

CrossDisplay-Switching enables user-friendly switching via mouse cursor. The function is available for the ControlCenter-Compact, the ControlCenter-Digital and the ControlCenter-IP as well as for the TradeSwitch.

Push-Get function

With the Push-Get function, users can move the screen contents of a target to (push) - or get it from - the display of another console. This display can be a large screen projection, for example. All consoles can exchange computer and screen contents or work together on tasks.

Redundancy, switching and databaseconcepts for even more security in failure scenarios

Our KVM systems offer numerous options for creating redundancies for mission-critical applications. When used in air traffic control, all IP components must be available at all times. It is therefore particularly important that IT security concepts contain redundant systems in these fields of application. If a primary route, a computer or a workstation fails, you can simply switch to a redundant route, a back-up computer or a redundant workstation. This way you can finish your work safely and in a familiar environment. Numerous switching and database concepts provide additional security and facilitate the use of the installation.

Scenario switching

Scenario switching lets you store the switching condition of one or multiple workplaces or even of the entire system. The selected switching states are saved in a script in the matrix system and can be accessed and executed via the OSD of workplaces assigned with the required rights. One single command allows a user to switch the computers of all consoles of a control room from day to night shift.

DDC/CI support

For ANSPs, who value perfect workplace ergonomics, the DP1.2-VisionXG, DL-Vision and all KVM-over-IP extender systems offer the support of the DDC/CI protocol. Thus, screens in control rooms can be automatically configured and the brightness of the screens, for example, can simply be adjusted to external light conditions.
