Who Can Access Connected Devices
Authorized users have the permissions they need to access one or more
servers or other devices that are connected to ports on the KVM/net. See
“Types of Users” on page 14 and KVM users can use the master KVM to
access all devices connected to KVM ports on the master and slave KVM
units. However, only two port connections can be made to each cascaded unit
at any time. Each physical port connection (for example to User 1 or User B)
to the cascaded KVM devices allows a user to connect to one KVM port on
the secondary KVM unit. So any user can connect to up to two KVM ports on
a cascaded device at any time. See “Guidelines for Using the KVM/net” on
page 4for more information.
Authorized users and KVM/net administrators have the following options for
accessing connected devices:
•
Use the Web Manager for most connections to devices.
See “Cyclades Web Manager” on page 18 and “Prerequisites for Using the
Web Manager” on page 19 for background information about the Web
Manager, if needed.
See “Connecting to Servers Remotely Through the Web Manager” on page
321 for instructions on how to log in to the Web Manager and connect to
devices.
•
Use the on-screen display (OSD) to access devices that are connected to
the KVM/net’s KVM ports.
Local users and administrators who have access to a directly connected
Local User station can use the OSD Connect menu.
Chapter 7: “On Screen Display” describes how to access connected
devices through the OSD.
•
Dial into the KVM/net through a modem
