8/16 PS/2 KVM over IP switch

Passthrough access to serial port via Telnet

Using this option, it is possible to connect an arbitrary device to the serial port and access it (assuming it provides terminal support) via Telnet. Select the appropriate options for the serial port and use the Telnet Console, or a standard Telnet client to connect to the PS/2 IP-KVM switch .

IPM 220-L (Inline Power Module)

This is an optionally available external module to switch power of a single system by putting it in the power supply line of the controlled system.

6.4.6Date And Time

Figure 6-27. Date and Time

This link refers to a page, where the internal real-time clock of the PS/2 IP-KVM switch can be set up (see Figure 6-27). You have the possibility to adjust the clock manually, or to use a NTP timeserver. Without a timeserver, your time setting will not be persistent, so you have to adjust it again, after PS/2 IP-KVM switch loses power for more than a few minutes. To avoid this, you can use a NTP timeserver, which sets up the internal clock automatically to the current UTC time. Because NTP server time is always UTC, there is a setting that allows you to set up a static offset to get your local time.

Warning

There is currently no way to adjust the daylight saving time automatically. So you have to set up the UTC offset twice a year properly to the local rules of your country.
