Model: 32-Port / 8 IP User
The Avocent MergePoint Unity MPU8032DAC-400 is a KVM over IP 32-Port Serial Console Switch with 8 Digital Path and dual-AC input Power Supply.
This unique combination provides IT Administrators a complete remote management solution to access and control servers, networking equipment, and other devices found in data centers and branch offices.
The MergePoint Unity switches enhance the in-band management typically done through the NIC of IT equipment by providing secure and remote Out-of-band connections directly to the physical KVM, USB, and Serial ports. This unified approach enables IT administrators a faster method to diagnose, reconfigure, or restore equipment to meet SLA's and minimize downtime.

Question: Can you expand the KVM to have more than 32 ports ?
Answer: Thank you for your inquiry. It is not possible to add additional ports to the specific KVM, but you can "cascade" several MergePoint Unity switches together to increase the available ports up to a maximum of 1024 servers. When cascaded, the system will "merge" the two (or more) switches and all connected servers will display on the main server list in the local UI.
The MergePoint Unity manual states the following:
'You can cascade up to two levels of MergePoint Unity switches, enabling users to connect to up to 1024 servers. In a cascaded system, each target port on the main MergePoint Unity switch will connect to the ACI port on each cascaded MergePoint Unity switch. Each cascaded switch can then be connected to a server with an IQ module.'

Question: The MPU8032DAC-400 is being considered for use on a USAF network. Is it considered a "Secure" KVM and does it have any DoD credentials, i.e. Common Criteria Portal, NIST FIPS, etc?
Answer: Thank you for your inquiry,
The MPU8032DAC-400 does feature AES encryption, FIPS 140-2 compliance (Based on the FIPS 140-2 validated cryptographic modules - Certificate #1051), UL certification, Common Access Card (CAC) authentication, and IPv6 networking.
You may also be interested in the similar Raritan DKX3-832 which meets DoD security standards including: AES & FIPS 140-2 encryption, UL certification, Common Access Card (CAC) authentication, PIV, FIPS 201, HSPD-12 and IPv6 networking.
A couple of notes for your application-
Please let us know if there is anything else we can help you with!

A couple of notes for your application-
- U.S. government agencies and the Department of Defense are now mandated to purchase IPv6-compatible products.
- Both KVM series use an embedded FIPS 140-2 validated cryptographic module running on a Linux platform per FIPS 140-2 implementation guidelines. This cryptographic module is used for encryption of KVM session traffic consisting of video, keyboard, mouse, virtual media and smart card data.
- The Raritan Dominion KX III also supports 256-bit and 128-bit AES encryption as recommended by the U.S. government's NIST and FIPS standards Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) for added security. The weaker RC4 encryption is no longer supported.
