10 IP-REACH USER MANUAL
KVM Output / Local Access Console Ports (optional)
Connect a PS/2 keyboard, mouse, and multisync monitor to these ports if you want local direct analog
access to the servers or KVM switches connected to the corresponding “KVM In” ports.
Note: For IP-Reach Model M2, the Local Access Console attached to a KVM Out Port will view the KVM
switch or server attached to the corresponding KVM In Port number. For example, the User Console
attached to KVM Out Port 1 will view the KVM switch or server attached to KVM In Port 1.
Dedicated Modem Port (optional)
IP-Reach M Series models feature a dedicated modem port. By attaching a standard external serial modem
to this port, users may retain remote access to IP-Reach when the LAN/WAN is unavailable.
Use a standard, straight-thru serial cable to connect IP-Reach to your external serial modem. Then connect
the “Tel Line” port of your modem to an analog phone line (see your external serial modem’s
documentation for more details).
Serial Input Port (optional)
Serially-controlled devices (VT100 terminal emulation) may be accessed remotely via IP-Reach by
attaching them to the Serial IN port found on the back of IP-Reach.
The serial port on IP-Reach is of type DTE, when connecting another DTE serial device to IP-Reach, use a
null modem serial cable. When connecting a DCE serial device to IP-Reach, use a straight-through serial
cable.
