Section I
Section I explains how to configure and operate the Smart 108/116 IP system
remotely over IP. Section II on page 39, explains how to operate the Smart 16 IP
switching system locally through the On Screen Display (OSD).
2. Introduction
The Smart 108/116 IP extends your KVM (keyboard, video, and mouse) from any
computer or server over TCP/IP via LAN, WAN or Internet connection. Now you
can control, monitor and manage up to 8 / 16 remote servers from wherever you
are, inside or outside the organization. The Smart 108/116 IP is a cost-effective
hardware solution, for secure remote KVM access & control of 8 / 16
computers/servers from the BIOS level - independent of the OS. One local analog
or one remote digital IP user can access and control 8 / 16 multi-platform (PS/2,
SUN, USB) servers.
The Smart 108/116 IP is based on Minicom’s innovative ROC technology in which
each computer/ server is directly connected to the switch via ROC dongles using
only standard CAT5 cable at a distance of up to 30m/100ft in a star configuration.
No external power is needed at the remote ROC.
The Smart 108 IP and the Smart 116 IP are functionally the same. The Smart 108
IP has 8 Server ports and the Smart 116 IP has 16 Server ports.
