8/16 PS/2 KVM over IP switch

Use a terminal software (e.g. hyper term or minicom) to connect to PS/2 IP-KVM switch. Reset PS/2 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, PS/2 IP-KVM switch performs a reset.

2.Use a crossover Ethernet cable to connect PS/2 IP-KVM switch to a subnet where a DHCP server is available. After the DHCP server has assigned an IP address to PS/2 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.

Login name

super (factory default)

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 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.

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 PS/2 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.
