IHSE USA has launched the
480-CTRL2 Draco tera CPU board
, a new controller board for its Draco tera enterprise matrix switch solutions. The 480-CTRL2 provides several new features that enable system administrators to monitor and manage complex matrix systems more effectively. The 480-CTRL2 offers a wide range of functionality, including SNMP version 3, which encompasses services for authentication, privacy, and access control; the LDAP version 3 open-standard protocol for accessing and maintaining distributed directory information over an IP network; dual LAN ports for fail-safe, redundant network interfaces; and a genlock option for synchronizing serial digital sources when the switch is adapted with SDI option cards. The 480-CTRL2 creates a unified control system that brings all SDI, USB 3.0, and KVM input and output cards within the switch matrix under a single point of control, enabling system administrators to simplify a facility’s workflow. Control-management options include status reporting, assigning presets, firmware updates, system data analysis, network configuration, definition of extender devices, user assignments, password administration, and logging information management.
