ATEN DVI-I Single Display KVM over IP Transmitter

Experience enterprise-grade remote KVM control with the ATEN DVI-I Single Display KVM over IP Transmitter kit. The KE6900A system is built around a high-performance IP-based transmitter (KE6900AT) that connects directly to your host computer, paired with a receiver (KE6900AR) that delivers console access at a distant location. By bridging your computer with the remote operator via standard LAN or WAN networks, IT admins and support staff can securely manage servers, workstations, and mission-critical devices without being physically present. This single-display KVM over IP solution is designed for data centers, lab environments, and branch offices where space, power, and downtime matter. Whether you’re performing routine maintenance, software updates, or troubleshooting, the KE6900A keeps you in control while reducing travel and on-site visits. The system supports remote USB consoles—USB keyboard, USB mouse, and USB peripherals—that mimic the local desk experience, enabling seamless interaction with the host system.

• IP-based KVM extender architecture with a separate transmitter and receiver. The KE6900AT plugs into the computer's video output and USB interface, while the KE6900AR sits at the remote console. Together they translate the host's video, keyboard, and mouse signals into network traffic and back again, delivering a near-native user experience with minimal latency and high reliability over standard Ethernet networks.
• DVI-I single display support ensures crisp, color-accurate video to a remote monitor or projection device while preserving compatibility with legacy graphics cards thanks to the combined digital/analog capabilities of DVI-I. This setup is ideal for data centers and lab environments where a single, high-quality display is the focus of remote management.
• USB console integration allows use of a full-size keyboard and mouse at the remote site, plus support for USB peripherals such as flash drives, printers, or diagnostic devices. The USB extension is designed to feel like a local workstation, enabling smooth firmware updates, troubleshooting, or command-line operations from anywhere in the network.
• Flexible deployment options with IP networking. The KE6900A extends control across local networks, campuses, or distributed data centers, enabling centralized management without sacrificing performance or user experience. Built for busy IT environments, it supports simultaneous access to multiple hosts (where permitted), role-based access control, and robust session continuity across network changes.
• Plug-and-play installation and straightforward management. The system is designed to integrate with existing IT infrastructure with minimal configuration. With clear status indicators, automatic negotiation of video modes, and a web-based or software-based management interface, administrators can deploy, monitor, and manage KVM sessions quickly, securely, and with predictable performance.

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

• Power off devices, then connect the KE6900AT transmitter to the host computer’s DVI-I video output and the USB port, ensuring the video card is configured for the desired resolution.
• Connect the KE6900AT to your network router or switch using an Ethernet cable. Power up the transmitter and verify link status.
• Install the KE6900AR receiver at the remote location: connect its DVI-I input to the remote monitor, connect USB keyboard and mouse to the remote console, and connect the receiver to the local network.
• Power on the KE6900AR and ensure it negotiates a network connection with the transmitter. Use the web-based management interface or installed software to pair the transmitter and receiver and configure basic settings such as IP addresses, display resolution, and user access controls.
• Test the remote session by switching the remote console to the host computer, verifying video quality, input responsiveness, and USB peripheral compatibility. Adjust network settings or display options if necessary to optimize performance.

Frequently asked questions

• What is ATEN KE6900A? The KE6900A is an IP-based KVM extender system that comprises a transmitter (KE6900AT) and a receiver (KE6900AR) to provide remote console access to a computer's DVI-I video and USB input devices over a network.
• What display connection does it use? It uses a DVI-I single-display interface to transmit video from the host to a remote monitor while preserving compatibility with most DVI displays and graphics cards.
• How do I access the remote console? Access is via the KE6900AR receiver over the network. A remote user can interact with the host computer using a USB keyboard and mouse connected to the remote console, providing a seamless experience as if locally attached.
• Can I use USB peripherals at the remote end? Yes, the KE6900A supports USB peripherals at the remote console, enabling extension of USB devices beyond basic input devices for enhanced operational flexibility.
• Is distance a limitation? The KVM extension distance is determined by your IP network. The KE6900A is designed for long-distance deployment across LANs, campuses, or WANs, as long as network latency remains within acceptable thresholds for keyboard and video signals.
