Section I
This section explains how to configure and operate the Smart 116 IP system
remotely over IP.
Section II on page 36, explains how to operate the Smart 16 IP Switching system
locally through the On Screen Display (OSD).
2. Introduction
The Smart 116 IP extends your KVM (keyboard, video, mouse) from any computer
or server over TCP/IP via LAN, WAN or Internet connection. Now you can
control, monitor and manage up to 16 remote servers from wherever you are, inside
or outside the organization. The Smart 116 IP is a cost-effective hardware solution,
for secure remote KVM access & control of 16 computers/servers from the BIOS
level - independent of the OS. One local analog or one remote digital IP user can
access and control 16 multi-platforms (PS/2, SUN, USB) servers at a time.
The Smart 116 IP is based on Minicom’s innovative RoC technology in which each
computer/ server is directly connected to the switch via RIC on Cable (RoC) using
only standard CAT5 cable at a distance of up to 10m/33ft in a star configuration.
No external power is needed at the remote RoC.
3. Key features
BIOS level control to any server’s brand and model, regardless of the server
condition and network connectivity, covering the entire spectrum of crash
scenarios.
Compatible with all major operating systems. Supports many hardware and
software configurations for the remote client and the target server computers, as
well as the KVM switch in use.
Web-based control - Browser Control to a target server, from any location via
secured standard IP connection.
Multi-user view mode - Allows simultaneous users to view remote sessions.
Remote control can be intuitively handed between users with appropriate
permissions.
Security - Supports the highest security standards for encryption (128 bit SSL and
HTTPS) and authentication for remote user and advanced OSD management with
multi-layer security for local user.
KVM.net - Can be controlled by the Minicom’s KVM.net system for centralized
over-IP management of distributed data center locations.
