Answer: Thank you for your inquiry. This device will provide BIOS level access and the ability to reboot through the operating system, however, for remote power cycling, a Power Over the NET device will be required.
Question: Do you have something similar to this, but uses DisplayPort video connection instead of VGA?
Answer: Thank you for your inquiry,
While we are not aware of a local CatX-based KVM Switch that has DisplayPort output at the local console, we are aware of ones that have DVI out (also a digital signal), for example the Adder DDX10, or connection via a web browser.
Depending on your application, you can also often use Video Adapters & Converters to adapt between different video types.
Please let us know if there is anything else we can help you with!
