USER GUIDE

2. Introduction

The DX User IP from Minicom Advanced Systems redirects local keyboard, mouse and video data to a remote computer. All data is transmitted via IP.

DX User IP features remote KVM access and control via a LAN or Internet connection. DX User IP provides a non-intrusive solution for remote access and control. Remote access and control software runs on the DX User IP embedded processors only and not on the servers, so there is no interference with server operation or impact on network performance.

Using one or several DX User IPs with the DX Central allows access to multiple remote servers via single remote console. The DX User IP combines digital remote KVM access via IP networks with a comprehensive and integrated system management.

Figure 1 illustrates the basic configuration of the DX system with the DX User IP and DX Users connected to peripheral devices via the DX Central.
