Glossary

The following definitions are used throughout this User Manual.

Client Computer: The computer being used to access the Switch remotely over a TCP/IP connection.

Console: The all-in-one term for the keyboard, video monitor, and mouse connected to a KVM switch.

Console Port: Receptors for the console to connect to the KVM switch.

Control: When discussing switching between ports, control means that the console is capable of sending input to the server. Control requires that the console also has focus on the port, and is viewing it.

DDC: Short for Display Data Channel, a VESA standard for communication between a monitor and a video adapter. Using DDC, a monitor can inform a computer’s video card about its properties, such as maximum resolution and color depth, to ensure that the user is presented with valid options for configuring the display.

DHCP: Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol. An Internet protocol that allows nodes to dynamically acquire (“lease”) network addresses for periods of time rather than having to pre-configure them. DHCP greatly simplifies the administration of large networks, and networks in which nodes frequently join and depart.

Daisy-Chain:A configuration of multiple KVM switches that are connected one to another in a series. A KVM-switch daisy-chain uses common settings to allow seamless, complex interactions between multiple consoles for control over many servers.

Host Computer: The computer connected directly (locally) to the IP Device.
