The AvocentĀ® HMX Advanced Manager is a control suite which transforms extenders into a digital matrix solution. Using standard IP infrastructure it is possible to route any user station to any computer attached to the network without any compromises to video quality or control. It allows cooperative sharing of computers and the multicasting of video to any destination.
Using TLS (transport layer security) and HTTPS, communications between HMX units and the HMX Advanced Manager and between the HMX Advanced Manager and the outside world are all secure.
For 24/7 reliability a second HMX Advanced Manager can be added to ensure constant uptime and with dual NIC interfaces on every HMX unit, systems can be easily designed for maximum resilience.
Administrators can manage access rights to each device on a user by user basis either manually through the web browser or automatically using Active Directory. Reports showing the history of devices, user logins and device connections can be viewed and exported to a CSV file or via SYSLOG. Ā
