KVM over IP Switch User Manual

Since the switches use TCP/IP for their communications protocol, they can be
accessed via their IP addresses from anywhere on the LAN, WAN, or Internet
– whether the connecting computer is located down the hall, down the street,
or half-way around the world. Remote operators can log in via their browser or
make use of stand-alone Windows or Java GUI applications. Java allows the
switches to work with JRE (Java Runtime Environment) enabled operating
systems – ensuring multi-platform operability.

The client software allows operators to exchange keyboard, video and mouse
signals with the servers attached to the switches just as if they were present

installing and running GUI applications, to BIOS level troubleshooting, routine
monitoring, concurrent maintenance, system administration, rebooting and
even pre-boot functions.

Local console operation is easily accomplished by entering

can display the video output of up to 42

servers at the same time.

The switches feature RJ-45 connectors allowing them to use CAT 5e cable to
link to the servers. This space-saving innovation means that a full 16/32-/64
