1. The quick installation guide

Installation

IP-KVM switch redirects local keyboard, mouse and video data to a remote administration console. All

data is transmitted via IP. IP-KVM switch can be used in a multi administrator and multi server

environment as well. Besides, IP-KVM switch is a KVM switch, which can also be used with a local

console.

IP-KVM switch hardware installation

Figure 1-1 The connectors of single port IP-KVM switch front and rear side

Please perform the following steps:

1. Connect the power supply to IP-KVM switch

2. Connect the monitor to the IP-KVM switch console side.

3. Connect the keyboard to the IP-KVM switch console side.

4. Connect the mouse to the IP-KVM switch console side.

5. Connect a VGA cable (15-pin HDDB Male / Male) with the Male side to both of the PC and the host

port of the IP-KVM switch.

6. Connect one purple end of 3-in-one cable to the PS/2 mouse port on the computer, and the other

end of 3-in-one cable to the host PS/2 mouse port on the IP-KVM Switch.

7. Connect one green end of 3-in-one cable to PS/2 keyboard port on the computer, and the other

end of 3-in-one cable to the host PS/2 keyboard port on the IP-KVM switch.

8. Connect the type A connector of USB A-B cable to the host system, while using remote mass

storage control.

9. Connect Ethernet to LAN port and/or modem to DB-9 serial port, depending on how you want to

access IP-KVM switch

Video modes

IP-KVM switch recognizes a limited number of common video modes. When running X-Window on the

host system, please don’t use any custom mode lines with special video modes. If done so, IP-KVM

switch may not be able to detect these. You are on the safe side with all standard VESA video modes.

Please refer to Appendix C for a list of all known modes.

Initial IP configuration

Initially the IP-KVM switch network interface is configured with the parameters shown in Table 1-1.

Host

Console

Single port KVM over IP switch

Parameter Value

IP auto configuration DHCP

IP-Address 192.168.1.22

Net-mask 255.255.255.0

Default-Gateway none

Table 1-1: Initial configuration

If this initial configuration doesn’t meet your local requirements, you need to do the initial IP

configuration. Use one of the following ways:

1. Connect the enclosed NULL modem cable to the serial interface on the rear side. The serial

interface needs to be adjusted with the parameters shown in table 1-2:

Parameter Value

Bits/second 115200

Data bits 8

Parity No

Stop bits 1

Flow Control None

Table 1-2: Serial parameters

Use a terminal software (e.g. hyper term or minicom) to connect to IP-KVM switch. Reset IP-KVM

switch and immediately press < ESC >. You will see some device information and a ’=>’ prompt.

Enter the command ’config’ and press < Enter >. After waiting a few moments you may configure IP

auto configuration, IP address, net mask and default gateway. Pressing < Enter > without entering

values does not change settings. The gateway value must be set to 0.0.0.0 (for no gateway) or any

other value. You will be asked if the values are correct and get a chance to correct them. After

confirming, IP-KVM switch performs a reset.

2. Use a crossover Ethernet cable to connect IP-KVM switch to a subnet where a DHCP server is

available. After the DHCP server has assigned an IP address to IP-KVM switch you can use the web

interface to configure the device.

Web interface

IP-KVM switch may be accessed using a standard JAVA enabled web browser. You may use the

HTTP protocol or a secure encrypted connection via HTTPS. Just enter the configured IP address of

IP-KVM switch into your web browser.

Password pass (factory default)

Changing these settings to user specific values is strongly recommended

and can be done on the User Management page (see the Section called

Users and Groups in Chapter 6 ).

Remote Console

The Remote Console is the redirected screen, keyboard and mouse of the remote host system to

which IP-KVM switch is installed. The web browser which is used for accessing IP-KVM switch has to

Single port KVM over IP switch

supply a Java Runtime Environment version 1.1 or higher. However, it is strongly recommended to

install Sun JVM 1.4. The Remote Console will behave exactly the same way as if you were sitting

directly in front of the screen of your remote system. That means that both the keyboard and mouse

can be used in the usual way. Open the console by selecting the preview picture on the main site of

the HTML front end. Figure 1-2 shows the top of the Remote Console.

Figure 1-2: Top part of the Remote Console

There are some options to choose from, and the important ones are the following:

Auto Adjust button

If the video displayed is of bad quality or distorted in some way, press this button and wait a few

seconds while IP-KVM switch tries to adjust itself for the best possible video quality.

Sync Mouse

Choose this option in order to synchronize the local with the remote mouse cursor. This is

especially necessary when using accelerated mouse settings on the host system. In general

there is no need to change mouse settings on the host.

Video Settings in Options Menu This opens a new window with elements to control the IP-KVM switch

Video Settings. You can change some values, for instance the brightness and contrast of the

picture displayed, which may improve the video quality. It is also possible to revert to the default

settings for all video modes or only the current one.

Note: At first start, if the local mouse pointer is not synchronized with

the remote mouse pointer, press the Auto Adjust Button once.

2. Introduction

Thank you for purchasing IP-KVM switch. IP-KVM switch can save your MONEY, TIME, SPACE,

EQUIPMENT and POWER. IP-KVM switch defines a new class of remote KVM access devices.

IP-KVM switch combines digital remote KVM access via IP networks with comprehensive and

integrated system management.

IP-KVM switch provides convenient, remote KVM access and control via LAN or Internet. It captures,

digitizes, and compresses video signal and transmits it with keyboard and mouse signals to and from

a remote computer. IP-KVM switch provides a non-intrusive solution for remote access and control.

Remote access and control software runs on its embedded processors only but not on mission-critical

servers, so that there is no interference with server operation or impact on network performance.

Furthermore, IP-KVM switch offers additional remote power management with the help of optional

available device.

IP-KVM switch supports consoles consisting of PS/2 style keyboards and mouse and HDDB 15 video

output. IP-KVM switch will automatically detect the current video mode of the console, however

manual fine-tuning is recommended to receive the best video quality. IP-KVM switch will accept video

streams up to 110 MHz dot clock. This results in a screen resolution of 1280x1024 pixels with a frame

rate of 60 Hz.

2.1. When the server is up and running

IP-KVM switch gives you a full control over the remote server. The Management Console allows you

to access the remote server’s graphics, keyboard and mouse and to send special commands to the

server. You can also perform periodic maintenance of the server. Using the Console Redirection

Service, you are able to do the following:

I. Reboot the system

II. Watch the boot process.

III. Boot the system from a separate partition to load the diagnostic environment.

IV. Run special diagnostic programs.

2.2. When the server is dead

Obviously, fixing hardware defects is not possible through a remote management device.

Nevertheless IP-KVM switch gives the administrator valuable information about the type of a hardware

failure. Serious hardware failures can be categorized into five different categories with different

chances to happen:

I. Hard disk failure 50%

II. Power cable detached, power supply failure 28%

III. CPU, Controller, main board failure 10%

IV. CPU fan failure 8%

V. RAM failure 4%

Using IP-KVM switch, administrators can determine which kind of serious hardware failure has

occurred (See table 2-1).

Type of failure Detected by

Power cable detached, power supply failure Server remains in power on state after power on

command has been given.

CPU Controller, main board failure. Power supply is on, but there is no video output.
