deXlan IP-KVM Switch User Manual


 
Single port KVM over IP switch
Serial line speed
The speed the IP-KVM switch is communicating with the modem. Most of all modems
available today will support the default value of 115200 bps. In case you are using an
old modem and discovering problems try to lower this speed.
Modem Init String
The initialization string used by the IP-KVM switch to initialize the modem. The default
value will work with all modern standard modems directly connected to a telephone
line. In case you have a special modem or the modem is connected to a local
telephone switch that requires a special dial sequence in order to establish a
connection to the public telephone network, you can change this setting by giving a
new string. Refer to the modem's manual about the AT command syntax.
Modem server IP address
This IP address will be assigned to the IP-KVM switch itself during the PPP
handshake. Since it is a point-to-point IP connection virtually every IP address is
possible but you must make sure, it is not interfering with the IP settings of the
IP-KVM switch and your console computer. The default value will work in most cases.
Modem client IP address
This IP address will be assigned to your console computer during the PPP
handshake. Since it is a point-to-point IP connection virtually every IP address is
possible but you must make sure, it is not interfering with the IP settings of the
IP-KVM switch and your console computer. The default value will work in most cases.
IPMB over serial
To enable IPMB over serial, enable this option.
Passthrough access to serial port via Telnet
Using this option, it is possible to connect an arbitrary device to the serial port and access
it (assuming it provides terminal support) via Telnet. Select the appropriate options for the
serial port and use the Telnet Console, or a standard Telnet client to connect to the
IP-KVM switch .
IPM 220-L (Inline Power Module)
This is an optionally available external module to switch power of a single system by
putting it in the power supply line of the controlled system.
