This chapter describes all options on the web interface of IKVM-1000.
5.1 Remote Control
5.1.1 KVM Console
Clicking on this option opens an additional Remote Console window. The Remote Console window is a Java Applet that tries to establish its own TCP connection to the IKVM-1000. Please refer to section 4.3 for details of Remote Console window.
5.1.2 Telnet Console
Before using the Telnet Console, please make sure the related configurations of IKVM-1000 are completed first.
The IKVM-1000 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 IKVM-1000 host machine is using a text mode screen resolution.
Connecting to the IKVM-1000 is done as usual and as required by the Telnet client, for instance in a UNIX shell:
telnet 192.168.1.1
Replace the IP address by the one that is actually assigned to the IKVM-1000. This will prompt for username and password in order to log into the device. The credentials that need to be entered for authentication are identical to those of the web interface. That means, the user management of the Telnet interface is entirely controlled with the according functions of the web interface.
Once you have successfully logged into the IKVM-1000, a command line will be presented and you can enter according management commands.
In general, the Telnet interface supports two operation modes: the command line mode and the terminal mode. The command line mode is used to control or display some parameters of IKVM-1000. In terminal mode, the pass-through access to serial port is activated (if the serial settings were made accordingly). All inputs are redirected to the device on serial port and its answers are displayed on the Telnet interface.
The following list shows the according command syntax and their usage.
