deXlan IP-KVM user manual Telnet Console

Single port KVM over IP switch

Please note that after you have pressed this button the power state displayed in the administration panel will not immediately reflect the requested change. A controlled shut down of the system may take some minutes. You can observe the action caused by your button press using the Remote Console window or by reloading the Server Power Control panel.

Long Press

This will unconditionally power off the system. Even if you have submitted a short press before, this will shut down the power supply of the host system.

The effect of the long button press can be immediately observed on the panel that is loaded into the browser because of the button press. The power state will be off.

Reset

Pressing this button is similar to pressing the reset button directly on the remote system . Be aware that pressing the reset button will result in an unconditional and immediate cold start of the system. This might damage open files and the file system itself.

Warning

The prerequisite for the remote power/reset button to work is a correct installation of the IP-KVM switch.

The IP-KVM switch firmware features a Telnet server that enables a user to connect via a standard Telnet client. In case the Telnet program is using a VT 100, VT 102 or VT 220 terminal or an according emulation, it is even possible to perform a console redirection as long as the IP-KVM switch host machine is using a text mode screen resolution.
