The IKVM-1000 supports two operation scenarios. It can directly connect to one
server or to a KVM switch matrix for allowing multiple servers access on a single
remote console.
Scenario 1
Scenario 2
2.2 System Requirement
Local Console: one PS/2 Keyboard, one PS/2 Mouse and one monitor
Remote Console: computers installed with TCP/IP
For an insecure connection to the IKVM-1000, the following browsers can be used:
Microsoft Internet Explorer version 5.0 or higher on Windows 98, Windows ME,
Windows 2000 and Windows XP
Netscape Navigator 7.0 or Mozilla 1.6 on Windows 98, Windows ME, Windows
2000, Windows XP, Linux and other UNIX-like Operating Systems
In order to access the remote host system using a securely encrypted connection,
you need a browser that supports the HTTPS protocol. Strong security is only
assured by using a key length of 128 Bit. Some of the old browsers do not have a
strong 128 Bit encryption algorithm.
