Hardware Installation
2.1 Operation Overview
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.
