The KVM features dual-power supplies, so that if power to one fails, the other takes over. The power cords

 

 

included with the KVM connect to the unit here.

3Serial Ports 1 and 2 The KVM features two RJ45 serial ports, for connecting serial manageable devices, such as PDUs, firewalls, and routers. (see the Serial Pinout section in this manual for the pinout information)

4LAN Ports 1 and 2 The KVM features two RJ45 LAN ports for connecting to 10/100 Mbps networks. If LAN 1 goes down, LAN

2 takes over. When LAN 1 becomes operational again, the KVM will need to be rebooted to make it the default LAN port again. Note: Only one LAN port can be turned on at a time; they cannot both be turned on. If you don’t wish to use network redundancy, connect a single network cable to LAN 2 Port.

5Console KVM ports A USB keyboard and mouse, and VGA (HD15) monitor connect here for local operation of the

NetCommander IP KVM.

USB Port

This port currently serves no functional purpose. It is included for future functionality upgrades.

Server ports

When connecting a computer/server, Cat5e/6 cabling connects from an available server port to a

 

B078-101-PS2, B078-101-USB, or B078-101-USB-1 SIU, which in turn connects to the computer/server.

 

 

1..8 Rackmounting the NetCommander IP

Follow all instructions in the safety section of this manual before rackmounting. Make sure to write down the MAC Address and Device Number from the bottom of the unit before rackmounting, as they will be useful when finding the IP address assigned by the DHCP server. Attach the included mounting brackets to the sides of the KVM switch (either front or rear, depending on user preference) using the included hardware, and then mount the KVM into your rack using user supplied screws.
