The name of KLE is derived from an acronymic combination from it full name, KVM Link Extender, which well explains the functionality of this powerful machine in itself. Though lightweight in size and compact in form factor, KLE is nevertheless a heavy-weight in its functional versatility, rock-solid robustness and formidable security. It supports full 1024-bit PKI authentication, 128-bit SSL data encryption, LDAP, RADIUS as well Active Directory authentication and RADIUS accounting.
KLE connected to a conventional KVM Switch and multiple servers
Total server control from BIOS level up anytime anywhere
KLE gives users total control from preboot stage such as the BIOS-level CMOS setting up to the GUI applications and daily maintenance routines such as power cycling (power control unit required). And all these could be nicely done on your admin desk using an ordinary web-browser management interface and a thin-client software viewer. All you need for accessing your computer is to login the KLE and download the viewer program and get yourself connected to a whole bunch of servers in seconds. A truly anytime anywhere access for the server administrator!
KLE connected to a Remote Power Control Device
Versatile backup connection featuring a PPP Server or PPP Client
To provide the necessary redundancy of a second backup system while your network might no longer works in critical situation, KLE also allows an easy and convenient PPP connection over the dial-in modem phone line. It could serve as a PPP server to accept a peer computer to make PPP connection request over either a direct cable connection or a dial-in modem phone line. On the other hand, KLE could also serve as a PPP client to dial-in to your ISP or enterprise PPP server to connect to internetwork, making a truly anytime access for remote client anywhere on the Internet. Thus, the PPP server/client features in KLE allow users a second backup system, which offers a direct cable/modem dial-in access to your connected servers via PSTN while your network is down.

The advantages of using KLE, as compared to the conventional software remote control solution is that：The hardware-based remote control solution such as KLE is able to access the server regardless of the server states while software remote control solution is non-functional while the server is still in the POST or preboot stage or in a “blue screen of death”. KLE also offers power on/off alternatives if used with a remote power control unit.

Rock-solid stability and ultra-security yet with flexibility and convenience to use
The KLE distinguishes itself among its peer products not only in its rock-solid stability in durable performance, but also in its industry-standard security features such as full 1024-bit PKI Authentication and 128-bit SSL data encryption. Together with 3 levels of viewer connection security levels in combination with 3 types of password policies and three categories of user privileges, all these make KLE a ultra-powerful IP Extender machine with ultra-flexibility for a customized balance between data safety and user convenience. On the other hand, the robustness and the ease of maintenance of the embedded systems involve zero costs for the unit management and maintenance.
Global Time Zone and Time Servers Support
To make KLE really comfortable with all the global time zones it will be deployed in, it is vital to provide a convenient Global Time Zone support since it will give a correct time stamp to all logging events, alert e-mail notifications and won’t leave server admins in troubles with calculating the time differences he will inevitably encounter with servers in different time zones. Additionally, KLE also supports NTP time servers and keep its time always sync with the timer servers you specify. The KLE is even sophisticated enough to take care of the daylight saving time in each and every Time Zone/Region, thus saving troubles for updating time frame with daylight saving specifics every six months.

All you need to do is to upload the files to KLE over Web interface and voila it’s freshly restarted and begins working with those latest update functionalities and features-all within minutes and can be performed across oceans-by a remote SUPERADMIN!
Advantages Galore
With KLE, the server administrator can access enterprise server room or data center on his own seat without toils and troubles of going anywhere from across the street to oversea. And organizations can enjoy a uniquely centralized and very cost-effective control over its dispersed servers in different branch offices, even around the world, thus saving money for outsourcing costs.
