1. The Quick Installation Guide

Installation

PS/2 KVM over IP switch redirects local keyboard, mouse and video data to a remote

administration console. All data is transmitted via IP. PS/2 KVM over IP switch can be used in a

multi administrator and multi server environment as well. Besides this, PS/2 KVM over IP switch

is a KVM switch, which can also be used with a local console.

Figure 1.1 The connectors of single port PS/2 KVM over IP Front and rear side

Please perform the following steps:

1. Connect the power supply on PS/2 KVM over IP switch

2. Connect the monitor to the PS/2 KVM over IP switch console side.

3. Connect the keyboard to the PS/2 KVM over IP switch console side.

4. Connect the mouse to the PS/2 KVM over IP switch console side.

5. Connect a VGA cable (15-pin HDDB Male / Male) with the Male side to both of the PC and

the host port of the PS/2 KVM over IP switch.

6. Connect one purple end of 3-in-one cable to the PS/2 mouse port on the computer, and the

other end of 3-in-one cable to the host PS/2 mouse port on the PS/2 KVM over IP Switch.

7. Connect one green end of 3-in-one cable to PS/2 keyboard port on the computer, and the

other end of 3-in-one cable to the host PS/2 keyboard port on the PS/2 KVM over IP switch.

8. Connect Ethernet and/or modem, depending how you want to access PS/2 KVM over IP

switch

Video modes

PS/2 KVM OVER IP recognizes a limited number of common video modes. When running

X-Window on the host system, please don’t use any custom mode lines with special video

modes. If done so, PS/2 KVM OVER IP may not be able to detect these. You are on the safe side

with all standard VESA video modes. Please refer to Appendix A for a list of all known modes.

Initial IP configuration

Initially the PS/2 KVM over IP switch network interface is configured with the parameters shown

in Table 1.1.

Single port PS2 KVM over IP

Parameter Value

IP auto configuration DHCP

IP-Address —

Net-mask 255.255.255.0

Default-Gateway none

IP access control disabled

Table 1.1: Initial configuration

If this initial configuration doesn’t meet your local requirements, you need to do the initial IP

configuration. Use one of the following ways:

1. Connect the enclosed NULL modem cable to the serial interface on the rear side. The serial

interface needs to be adjusted with the parameters shown in table 1.2:

Parameter Value

Bits/second 115200

Data bits 8

Parity No

Stop bits 1

Flow Control None

Table 1.2: Serial parameters

Use a terminal software (e.g. hyper term or minicom) to connect to PS/2 KVM over IP switch.

Reset PS/2 KVM over IP switch and immediately press < ESC >. You will see some device

information and a ’=>’ prompt. Enter the command ’config’ and press < Enter >. After waiting a

few moments you may configure IP auto configuration, IP address, net mask and default

gateway. Pressing < Enter > without entering values does not change settings. The gateway

value must be set to 0.0.0.0 (for no gateway) or any other value. You will be asked if the

values are correct and get a chance to correct them. After confirming, PS/2 KVM over IP

switch performs a reset.

2. Use an crossover Ethernet cable to connect PS/2 KVM over IP switch to a subnet where a

DHCP server is available. After the DHCP server has assigned an IP address to PS/2 KVM over

IP switch you can use the web interface to configure the device.

Web interface

PS/2 KVM over IP switch may be accessed using a standard web browser. You may use the

HTTP protocol or a secure encrypted connection via HTTPS. Just enter the configured IP

address of PS/2 KVM over IP switch into your web browser. Initially there is only one user

configured who has unrestricted access to all PS/2 KVM over IP switch features:

Password

Please login and change the password immediately according to your own policies.

The Remote Console

The Remote Console is the redirected screen, keyboard and mouse of the remote host system to

which PS/2 KVM over IP switch is attached. The web browser which is used for accessing PS/2

KVM over IP switch has to supply a Java Runtime Environment version 1.1 or higher. The

Single port PS2 KVM over IP

Remote Console will behave exactly the same way as if you were sitting directly in front of the

screen of your remote system. That means keyboard and mouse can be used in the usual way.

Open the console by choosing the appropriate link in the navigation frame of the HTML fronted.

Figure 1.2 shows the top of the Remote Console.

Figure 1.2: Top part of the Remote Console

There are some options to choose from, the important ones are the following:

Auto Adjust button

If the video displayed is of bad quality or distorted in some way, press this button and wait

a few seconds while PS/2 KVM over IP switch tries to adjust itself for the best possible

video quality.

Sync Mouse

Choose this option in order to synchronize the local with the remote mouse cursor. This is

especially necessary when using accelerated mouse settings on the host system. In

general there is no need to change mouse settings on the host.

Video Settings in Options Menu This opens a new window with elements to control the PS/2

KVM over IP switch Video Settings. You can change some values, for instance related to

brightness and contrast of the picture displayed, which may improve the video quality. It is

also possible to revert to the default settings for all video modes or only the current one.

2. Introduction

Figure 2.1 Single port PS/2 KVM over IP

Thank you for purchasing PS/2 KVM over IP switch. PS/2 KVM over IP switch can save your

MONEY, TIME, SPACE, EQUIPMENT and POWER. PS/2 KVM over IP defines a new class of

remote KVM access devices. PS/2 KVM OVER IP defines a new class of remote KVM access

devices (see Figure 2.1). PS/2 KVM OVER IP combines digital remote KVM access via IP

networks with comprehensive and integrated system management.

PS/2 KVM over IP owes a convenient, remote KVM access and control via LAN or Internet. It

captures, digitizes, and compresses video and transmits it with keyboard and mouse signals to

and from a remote computer. PS/2 KVM over IP provides a non-intrusive solution for remote

access and control. Remote access and control software runs on its embedded processors only

but not on mission-critical servers, so that there is no interference with server operation or impact

on network performance.

Furthermore, PS/2 KVM over IP offers additional remote power management with the help of

optional available device.

PS/2 KVM over IP supports consoles consisting of PS/2 style keyboards, PS/2 style mouse and

HDDB 15 video output. PS/2 KVM over IP will automatically detect the current video mode of the

console, however manual fine tuning is recommended to receive the best video quality. PS/2

KVM over IP will accept video streams up to 110 MHz dot clock. This results in a screen

resolution of 1280x1024 dots with a frame rate of 60 Hz.

2.1 When the server is up and running

PS/2 KVM over IP switch gives you full control over the remote server. The Management

Console allows you to access the remote server’s graphics, keyboard and mouse and to send

special commands to the server. You can also perform periodic maintenance of the server.

Using the Console Redirection Service, you are able to do the following:

I. Reboot the system (a graceful shutdown).

II. Watch the boot process.

III. Boot the system from a separate partition to load the diagnostic environment.

IV. Run special diagnostic programs.

2.2 When the server is dead

Obviously, fixing hardware defects is not possible using a remote management device.

Nevertheless PS/2 KVM over IP gives the administrator valuable information about the type of a

hardware failure. Serious hardware failures can be categorized into five different categories with

different chances to happen:

I. Hard disk failure 50%

II. Power cable detached, power supply failure 28%

III. CPU, Controller, main board failure 10%

IV. CPU fan failure 8%

V. RAM failure 4%

Using PS/2 KVM over IP, administrators can determine which kind of serious hardware failure

has occurred (See table 2.1).

Type of failure Detected by

Hard disk failure Console screen, CMOS set-up information

Power cable detached, power supply failure Server remains in power on state after power on

command has been given.

CPU Controller, main board failure. Power supply is on, but there is no video output.

CPU fan failure By server specific management software

RAM failure Boot-Sequence on boot console
