The KVMADMIN utility
Particularly useful for complex AdderView CATx IP configurations and the
control of remote installations, KVMADMIN is a powerful administration tool.
KVMADMIN is based upon the successful VNC viewer and uses the same
security system. Rather than a graphical interface such as the standard viewer,
KVMADMIN uses command line control to provide the following administration
facilities:
• Discover and adjust the AdderView CATx IP configuration, including host
systems,
• Save and restore the AdderView CATx IP configuration,
• Set user names and passwords,
• Download the event log,
• Set custom video modes.
The use of KVMADMIN is strictly limited to the ‘admin’ user and for security
purposes it is not possible to retrieve user names or passwords from the
AdderView CATx IP.
To use KVMADMIN you require the IP address and admin password of the
AdderView CATx IP unit. The command line is as follows:
kvmadmin <command> <ip address> [<parameters>]
where
<command> is one of the following:
• -setconfig <config-file>
• -getconfig <config-file>
• -setusers <csv-file>
• -getlog <log-file>
• -gethosts <csv-file>
• -sethosts <csv-file>
• -setmodes <csv-file>
For instance, the command line:
kvmadmin -getconfig kvm1.cfg 192.168.2.1
... downloads the current configuration from the AdderView CATx IP unit at the
given address and stores it in the local file kvm1.cfg.
Whereas the command line:
kvmadmin -setusers users.csv 192.168.2.1
... configures the usernames and passwords for the same unit from the local file
users.csv.
For more information about KVMADMIN, please refer to the user notes supplied
with the utility.
