Designed for reliability in data centers, control rooms, laboratories, and industrial environments, the system preserves native video fidelity over a single DVI-I display while delivering responsive input across long distances. The KE6900A family enables you to consolidate access, reduce travel time for engineers, and improve incident response by centralizing management and control in a secure, scalable solution. The receiver is engineered for straightforward installation, durable operation in challenging environments, and compatibility with a range of operating systems and applications, so you can deploy it with confidence across multi-vendor infrastructures.

• Remote KVM with authentic feel: enjoy immediate video and input feedback through a dedicated USB console and DVI-I display, maintaining color accuracy and sharpness crucial for diagnostics, monitoring, and design workflows. The setup supports virtual BIOS access and unattended operation for headless servers.
• IP-based extension with flexible networking: tie the host PC to the remote console over standard Ethernet. The KE6900A pair uses IP networking to deliver consistent performance, with options for static IPs or DHCP, and the ability to traverse campus networks, data centers, or distributed sites while preserving a smooth user experience.
• Single-display DVI-I support for compact, efficient installations: ideal where space, cost, or display constraints favor a single, high-quality monitor. The DVI-I pathway preserves digital video integrity and supports broad compatibility with legacy and modern displays.
• Secure access and centralized management: built to meet enterprise expectations, featuring account-based access, audit-ready activity tracking, and straightforward firmware updates to keep devices secure and up to date.
• Simple deployment and scalable architecture: designed for rapid installation and expansion, letting you add more displays or consoles as your environment grows. The KE6900A pair provides stable performance without complicated cabling, ensuring predictable latency and minimal disruption during upgrades.

Technical Details of ATEN DVI-I Single Display KVM over IP Receiver

Note: Specifications are not listed in this product description. The KE6900A series specifications are available from ATEN’s official resources and authorized distributors. When configuring your system, refer to the KE6900AT transmitter and KE6900AR receiver manuals for precise supported resolutions, USB capabilities, network requirements, and firmware compatibility. In typical deployments, users pair the KE6900AT with a KE6900AR to create a complete remote KVM over IP solution that combines video, input, and peripheral extension across IP networks.

How to install ATEN DVI-I Single Display KVM over IP Receiver

Install guidance helps you deploy the KE6900A pair quickly, with steps designed to minimize downtime and ensure reliable operation. Before you begin, ensure you have the necessary network cabling, DVI-I video cables, USB keyboards and mice, and power supplies for both transmitter and receiver. Keep in mind that exact port layouts or physical labeling may vary by shipment, so follow the labeling on your units and any site-specific IT policies.

• Connect the KE6900AT transmitter to the host computer using a DVI-I video cable. Attach a USB keyboard and mouse to the transmitter or mirror these peripherals via the appropriate USB ports as directed by the user guide. This establishes video and control channels from the computer to the IP network.
• Connect the KE6900AR receiver to your local console: attach a DVI-I monitor to the receiver output and connect a USB keyboard and mouse to the receiver if you intend to use local peripherals alongside the remote console.
• Link the transmitter and receiver over your IP network using the recommended Ethernet topology. If you operate across multiple subnets, coordinate routing and firewall rules to permit KVM traffic while protecting sensitive data.
• Power on both devices and configure network settings. You may assign static IP addresses or enable DHCP, and ensure that the devices can reach one another through the chosen network path. Update firmware if prompted by the management interface.
• Open the management interface or client software to verify connectivity. Confirm that the remote console can see the host screen, that keyboard and mouse input is correctly mirrored, and that USB peripherals are recognized. Make any necessary tuning for latency, color depth, and display resolution to optimize your environment.

Frequently asked questions

• What is the ATEN KE6900A DVI-I Single Display KVM over IP Receiver? It is the remote‑console component of ATEN's KE6900A KVM over IP extender. The transmitter attaches to the host computer and the receiver provides remote access to the same system’s keyboard, video, and mouse over an IP network.
• What displays and inputs are supported? The system uses a DVI-I display path and USB keyboard/mouse inputs, enabling a single-monitor setup with standard USB peripherals for control.
