The Unit allows you to access the connected computer or KVM switch through
the Internet by using a web browser. Using the latest compression technology, the
Unit compresses the console signals and sends it through the network via TCP/IP
protocols. The Unit automatically monitors server activities and notifies you if
problems exist so you can resolve them quickly and inexpensively. It overcomes
inherent limitations in current remote server administration methods. For example,
the Unit enables you to reset the hardware, access BIOS, and reset power. The
Unit does not require any additional software and supports multiple operating
systems with PS/2 platforms.
For local control and monitoring, the Unit has one local port for connection of a
separate mouse, keyboard, and monitor. The local port allows you to directly
access and view the connected computer or KVM switch.
The Unit senses the controlled computer’s video mode, and digitizes and
compresses the video using a proprietary compression algorithm. It then sends the
video to the local and remote consoles. From the remote console, the mouse and
keyboard data is encrypted using 128-bit SSL, and is sent over the TCP/IP network
back to the Unit where it decodes the data before sending it to the controlled
server. The Unit performs hardware emulation of the mouse and keyboard so that
the absence of a keyboard and mouse doesn’t register as an error on the
controlled server.
The Unit has two RS232 serial ports that are used for multiple applications. The
first serial port is a modem-compatible port and the second is a 3-wire RS232 port
with additional pins that can be used to control contact closure devices such as
power bars.
