It integrates a complete set of O&M interfaces within a 8-inch compact body that weighs only 0.7kg, allowing the engineer to carry less but still comfortably dealing with front-line tasks such as debugging, remote operation, maintenance, and real-time monitoring.

The modular I/O port design allows a tiny PC like Pocket 3 to adapt well in different use cases (by swapping between different expansion modules). The serial port expansion module of Pocket 3 uses the standard EIA RS-232 communication protocol and can connect to various 9-pin serial devices.

The single KVM port control module for Pocket 3 can be used to access and control another computer for system and network device management.

It integrates HDMI IN and USB IN ports, so you only need an HDMI cable or HDMI to VGA cable to connect Pocket 3 to the targeted server and fully control the server through the Pocket 3's own keyboard and mouse.

 

Unlike "remote desktop", the KVM control module is used for hardware-level access control covering the entire use process of the targeted server, from booting, BIOS settings to operations within the OS.

It is hot-swappable but has no IP KVM, so it does not support remote management and is suitable for managing local network equipment that has no keyboard, mouse and display.

Note:

KVM compatible OS: Windows, Linux, Unix, macOS

KVM compatible hardware: General server, dedicated server, soft router, NAS

KVM compatible applications: Information control center, call center, securities/financial trading system, industrial control, teaching, bank data center, test center

Our specifically designed swivel screen made with powder metallurgy technology allows for an effort-less 180 degree movement (which can be done with one hand) in a clockwise rotation around the Y axis. It has passed the durability test (100,000 continuous robot arm operations including rotation, opening and closing) with a serviceability rate of 99.3%.
