Challenges The ATEN Solution

• Required secured remote data access to digital video, The CN9600 units allowed students and instructors to
audio, and virtual media via remote control of access workstations on the campus network from any
classroom-based PCs and workstations remote location, whether they were sick, isolated, or
unable to physically attend for any reason. Authorized
• The institute’s resources, such as authorized software virtual media function supports file applications and
and computing power, must be accessible software installation, while a mini USB port on the
front panel is designed as a Laptop USB Console (LUC)
• A hardware-based solution to keep data and informa- port, so that students and teachers can simply connect
tion flow secure from end to end a laptop to the LUC port, and can access any computer
or workstation connected to the network. The CN9600
• BIOS-level access with no software installation also supports microphone and speakers on the local
required and no computer virus concerns and remote consoles.

Connect Remotely to Campus Network for Real-time Learning and Administration
An institute of technology specializing in CGI / CAD drafting and design technology required a method of secure remote access to worksta-
tions on its campus LAN for both students and instructors. Due to the sharing of sensitive information such as grades, exam questions, and
personal data, the remote connection had to be protected with encryption but if the instructors were sick or isolated, they still needed to
be able to connect to the institute’s computers. Likewise, for students who are unable to attend in person, the ability to connect remotely
to classroom-based systems for synchronous learning in real time was required.
