Both USB and PS/2 interface support on PC side offers maximum convenience in a computing
environment that accommodates both newer USB-enabled computers and older computers
with only PS/2 interfaces.
Versatile backup connection featuring a PPP Server or PPP Client
To provide a redundancy of a backup connection system while network might no longer function
in critical situation, Prima IP also allows an easy and convenient PPP connection over the dial-in
modem phone line. It could serve as a PPP server to accept a peer computer to make PPP
connection request over a dial-in modem phone line. On the other hand, Prima IP could also serve
as a PPP client to dial-in to your ISP or enterprise PPP serve r to connect to internet. Thus, the
PPP server/client feature allows users a second backup system, which offers a direct
cable/modem dial-in access to your connected servers via PSTN while your network is down.
Critical Advantage over other remote server management solution
The advantages of using Prima IP KVM Switch, as compared to the conventional software remote
control solution is that: The hardware-based remote control solution such as Prima IP is capable of
accessing the connected servers regardless of the server states while software remote control
solution cannot be functional while the server is still in the POST or preboot stage or in a “blue
screen of death”. The Prima IP offers a server management capacity of up to 256 connected
servers by cascading with Prima KVM switches. There is no need to install any software utility on
the server side. Prima IP also offers power on/off alternatives if used with a remote power control
unit.
KVM Switch Management
Prima IP 8 / Prima IP 16 not only provides remote user access, but also plays the role of KVM
management. It manages the software version of all KVM switches connected in the daisy-chain,
and upgrades automatically any KVM switches whose software is not the latest. It displays the
KVM error and information messages into its server log. It permits to setup remotely the name of
computers that are displayed in the OSD, the local user name and password.
Stability and ultra-security with flexibility and convenience
The Prima IP distinguishes itself among its peer products not only in its stability and durable
performance, but also in its industry-standard security features such as full 1024-bit PKI
Authentication and 256-bit SSL data encryption. Together with 3 levels of viewer connection
security levels in combination with 3 types of password policies plus three categories of user
privileges, all these make Prima IP
a ultra-powerful IP KVM Switch with ultra-flexibility for a
customized balance between data safety and user convenience. On the other hand, the
robustness and the ease of maintenance of the embedded systems involve zero costs for the unit
management and maintenance.
Global Time Zone and Time Servers Support
To make Prima IP really comfortable with all the global time zones it will be deployed in, it is
vital to provide a convenient Global Time Zone support for a correct time stamp to all logging
events, alert e-mail notifications. This will not leave server administrators in troubles with
calculating time differences. Additionally, the Prima IP
also supports NTP time server and keep its
time always sync with the timer server you specify. The Prima IP is even sophisticated enough to
take care of the daylight saving time in each and every Time Zone/Region, thus saving troubles for
updating time frame with daylight saving specifics every six months.
