About this User Manual

This User Manual provides installation and operation instructions for the OmniView IP 5000 HQ system produced by Belkin International, Inc. It is intended for system administrators and network managers, and assumes that readers have general understanding of networks, LDAP, hardware, and software.

All information in this User Manual is subject to change without prior notice.

OmniView IP 5000HQ is a robust central management appliance that provides reliable and secure management of IP devices.

OmniView IP 5000HQ integrates with Belkin IP devices and serial console server devices to facilitate an intuitively manageable, centralized out-of-band access portal—designed to maintain all IT assets. OmniView IP 5000HQ centralizes all user account information relevant for IP device administration without interfering in the standalone survivability of each device.

OmniView IP 5000HQ is Web-based, and is managed using XML over HTTPS, which allows for secure, yet highly adaptable, administration.

Designed to work across LAN or WAN, OmniView IP 5000HQ monitors and auto-configures KVM IP devices, whether residing on the local enterprise network or in remote branches.

OmniView IP 5000HQ delivers the most advanced solution for enterprise IT management and remote control. It supports multiple servers in different locations in an environment that is completely configurable by the network administrator.
