cases, the PS/2-interface model may be required. You configure either interface type by using the software.

Serial Ports—Performs the initial configuration to setup parameters and connects to a target COM port. It also allows remote users to Telnet or SSH to that port, eliminating the need for a separate box to perform serial command line management. The serial port can also connect to the Power Control Unit (PCU) for use as an AC power passthrough. For more information, see PCU Power on page 43.

Optional Auxiliary DC Power Supply (Redundancy)—Overcomes the loss of power when the attached server goes down by using the auxiliary DC power supply connected to an independent AC power source.

Ethernet Ports—Connects to the LAN. The SpiderDuo device has one port only that connects to the LAN.

Local KVM Port—Connects keyboard, video, and mouse to the local client.
