CN8000 User Manual

With its advanced security features, the CN8000 is the fastest, most reliable, most cost effective way to remotely access and manage widely distributed multiple computer installations.

The Administrator and Client software included with the CN8000 make it easy to install, maintain, and operate. System administrators can handle a multitude of tasks with ease - from installing and running GUI applications, to BIOS level troubleshooting, routine monitoring, concurrent maintenance, system administration, rebooting and even pre-booting functions.

The Administrator Utility is available in a browser-based version as well as Windows-based and Java application versions. The utility is used to configure the system; limit access from remote computers; manage users; and maintain the system with firmware and software module updates.

A Windows Client Viewer and a Java Applet Viewer are available for browser access, while Windows Client AP and Java Client AP programs are provided for non-browser GUI access. They allow IP connection and login from anywhere on the net. Inclusion of a Java-based client ensures that the CN8000 is platform independent, and is able to work with practically all operating systems.

The client software allows access to, and control of, the connected servers. Once an operator successfully connects and logs in, his screen displays what is running on the remote unit attached to the CN8000 (a KVM OSD display, a server's desktop, or a running program, for example) and he can control it from his console just as if he were there.

The Log Server records all the events that take place on selected CN8000 units for the administrator to analyze.

Your CN8000 investment is protected through the ability of its firmware to be upgraded over the internet. You can stay current with the latest functionality improvements by downloading firmware update files from our website as they become available, and then using the utility to quickly and conveniently perform the upgrade.
