Prerequisites for Accessing Servers With KVM
Connections
The following prerequisites must be met before you can access a KVM-
connected server:
Know the KVM Port(s) to which you have access (specially if direct
access to a port is configured)
Have the username and password of a valid account on the connected
server
If you are connecting through the Web Manager, have the following:
A remote computer running a Windows operating system with Internet
access and a supported browser installed
The IP address of the KVM/net
If you are making a local connection, have a direct connection made to the
User 1 or User 2 ports of the KVM.
Disabling Mouse Acceleration
In a KVM-over-IP session you should synchronize the mouse cursor on your
local PC or laptop with the mouse cursor of the remote server attached to a
KVM port. The mouse acceleration should be disabled on the remote server’s
operating system.
