Single port KVM over IP switch

Passthrough access to serial port via Telnet
Using this option, it is possible to connect an arbitrary device to the serial port and access
it (assuming it provides terminal support) via Telnet. Select the appropriate options for the
serial port and use the Telnet Console, or a standard Telnet client to connect to the
IP-KVM switch .
IPM 220-L (Inline Power Module)
This is an optionally available external module to switch power of a single system by
putting it in the power supply line of the controlled system.
6.5.6 Date And Time
Figure 6-27. Date and Time
This link refers to a page, where the internal real-time clock of the IP-KVM switch can be set
up (see Figure 6-27). You have the possibility to adjust the clock manually, or to use a NTP
timeserver. Without a timeserver, your time setting will not be persistent, so you have to
adjust it again, after IP-KVM switch loses power for more than a few minutes. To avoid this,
you can use a NTP timeserver, which sets up the internal clock automatically to the current
UTC time. Because NTP server time is always UTC, there is a setting that allows you to set
up a static offset to get your local time.
Warning
There is currently no way to adjust the daylight saving time automatically. So you
have to set up the UTC offset twice a year properly to the local rules of your country.
