ATEN CN800

USB VGA KVM over IP Mini

The ATEN CN800 USB VGA KVM over IP Mini is a compact, ultra-portable device that grants full remote control and access over a single computer or KVM switch through a LAN or WAN network. It’s engineered to retrofit existing non-IP KVM setups, making them accessible anywhere, anytime—providing reliable BIOS-level command with full USB keyboard/mouse emulation and high-definition video streaming. With a bus-powered, hook-style design that’s lightweight enough to carry in a pocket, the CN800 is an ideal tool for IT professionals, field technicians, and distributed infrastructure environments.

Despite its small stature, the CN800 supports crisp remote video up to 1920×1200 at 60 Hz with 24-bit color depth. Its enhanced frame-rate throughput ensures smooth, responsive video performance during remote sessions—perfect for both graphical interfaces and BIOS-level operations. It leverages standard TCP/IP protocols over a single Cat 5e/6 cable, enabling broad compatibility with intranet and internet setups. Users can access target machines via browser-based GUIs or standalone Windows and Java clients on Windows, macOS, Linux, or Sun platforms, all without installing special drivers.

Security is a priority. The device supports up to 64 user accounts with configurable roles, and permits up to 32 simultaneous sessions. Admins can terminate active sessions, inspect event logs, and receive push notifications via email, SNMP trap, or Syslog. Authentication is robust—supporting RADIUS, LDAP/LDAPS, and Active Directory integration—while communication is encrypted using TLS 1.2 and optional 256-bit AES for keyboard, mouse, video, and virtual media streams. Administrators can also enable IP/MAC filtering, private Certificate Authorities, and browser access controls.

One of the standout features of the CN800 is its Virtual Media function. This virtual drive system, delivered via USB 2.0, allows admins to attach ISO images, USB mass storage, or DVD drives directly to the remote host—even at the BIOS level. This enables full OS installs, diagnostics, firmware updates, and file transfers through a purely network connection—without requiring physical presence.

The CN800 is also designed for multi-user environments. Its multi-user mode enables up to 32 users to concurrently access or share a system—ideal for training sessions or collaborative troubleshooting. It integrates seamlessly with ATEN’s centralized CC2000 software and session-recording tool CCVSR, offering IT managers expanded deployment visibility and audit trails.

Hardware-wise, the CN800 offers a minimalist, space-saving design measuring just 9.3 × 5.7 × 2.4 cm and weighing only 0.17 kg. It features a VGA connector, two USB Type-A ports (one for keyboard, one for virtual media), and an RJ-45 port for network connectivity. A recessed reset button and LED indicators for power, link, and activity status round out its simple yet efficient layout. It’s bus-powered through the connected USB port and operates without needing AC adapters .

Built for everyday reliability, it runs in ambient temperatures from 0–50 °C, endures storage conditions between –20–60 °C, and tolerates 0–80% non-condensing humidity. Despite its plastic housing, it meets enterprise-grade performance standards and comes with remote firmware upgradable via network or USB.

Use-case scenarios are diverse:

• Remote server management in data centers or branch offices when onsite access is limited

• Kiosk or POS terminal maintenance across multiple locations

• Field deployment, where simple, USB-powered devices offer efficient remote access

• Tech support and training, leveraging multi-user collaboration and screen-recording capabilities

In summary, the ATEN CN800 USB VGA KVM over IP Mini delivers enterprise-level remote management in an exceptionally small form factor. Its powerful features—high-resolution video, encrypted IP access, BIOS-level control, multi-user support, and virtual media—empower IT teams to perform effective remote troubleshooting, configuration, and maintenance without stepping a foot inside the server room.
