The KVMADMIN utility
Particularly.useful.for.complex.AdderView.CATx.IP.configurations.and.the.
control.of.remote.installations,.KVMADMIN.is.a.powerful.administration.tool.
KVMADMIN.is.based.upon.the.successful.VNC.viewer.and.uses.the.same.
security.system..Rather.than.a.graphical.interface.such.as.the.standard.viewer,.
KVMADMIN.uses.command.line.control.to.provide.the.following.administration.
facilities:
•. Discover.and.adjust.the.AdderView.CATx.IP.configuration,.including.host.
systems,
•. Save.and.restore.the.AdderView.CATx.IP.configuration,
•. Set.user.names.and.passwords,
•. Download.the.event.log,
•. Set.custom.video.modes.
The.use.of.KVMADMIN.is.strictly.limited.to.the.‘admin’.user.and.for.security.
purposes.it.is.not.possible.to.retrieve.user.names.or.passwords.from.the.
AdderView.CATx.IP.
To.use.KVMADMIN.you.require.the.IP.address.and.admin.password.of.the.
AdderView.CATx.IP.unit..The.command.line.is.as.follows:
kvmadmin <command> <ip address> [<parameters>]
where.<command>.is.one.of.the.following:
•. -setconfig.<config-file>
•. -getconfig.<config-file>
•. -setusers.<csv-file>
•. -getlog.<log-file>
•. -gethosts.<csv-file>
•. -sethosts.<csv-file>
•. -setmodes.<csv-file>.
For.instance,.the.command.line:
kvmadmin -getconfig kvm1.cfg 192.168.2.1
....downloads.the.current.configuration.from.the.AdderView.CATx.IP.unit.at.the.
given.address.and.stores.it.in.the.local.file.kvm1.cfg.
Whereas.the.command.line:
kvmadmin -setusers users.csv 192.168.2.1
....configures.the.usernames.and.passwords.for.the.same.unit.from.the.local.file
users.csv.
For.more.information.about.KVMADMIN,.please.refer.to.the.user.notes.supplied.
