48 UST-IP USER MANUAL
QUESTION: ANSWER:
How Is UST-IP
administration carried
out?
Administrators access UST-IP through a connected UST-IP Admin
Console. A simple keyboard driven interface of menus offers
straightforward access to UST-IP setup and control. User profiles, security
settings, configuration and diagnostics are just a few of the options
available. The UST-IP Admin Console can be removed from the server
room once initial UST-IP setup is complete, after which all configuration
may be performed remotely via web browser.
Are there security features
to protect my Target
Servers from an
unauthorized remote
connection?
Yes. UST-IP provides many layers of security. UST-IP can be configured
to provide high-level connection authentication and video data transfer
security during a remote session. User names, passwords, private-keys, and
Secure Socket Layer (SSL) 128-bit encryption are all available. UST-IP can
also function as a RADIUS client. In addition, all Raritan KVM Switches
that feature an On-Screen User Interface (OSUI) come with a complete
security scheme, requiring user name and password access to Servers as
designated by the network administrator.
Is there a double login
using UST-IP?
No, only single login. A double login exists if you use IP-Reach with
Paragon.
Is there Web-Based
Access?
Remote access can be obtained via a web browser to the UST-IP1’s IP
address.
Connection from any Windows-based PC - Windows NT, 2000, or
XP
Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.5 and 6.0+, Mozilla up to 1.5, and
Netscape up to 7.1
How does UST-IP handle
a local and remote user
when trying to access
USTIP?
USTIP1 – the local and remote user share 1 path
USTIP2 – the 1st path is shared with local and remote users, the 2
nd
path is
dedicated for remote users
USTIP1 operates under three working modes where the user is able to
assign priority to either the local, remote user or provide a “first come first
serve basis” via the admin console for the Local port or the Remote port.
Can I customize UST-IP

relative to my specific
KVM configuration?

adjustments all serve to enhance UST-IP performance.
Can I customize UST-IP
to enhance performance
with regard to different
remote access methods
and situations?
Yes. UST-IP offers a variety of performance enhancements to optimize a
chosen connection method. Color Depth, Progressive Update, and Internet
Flow Control are just a few of the adjustment options available to speed
response time. Color Depth, for example, can be adjusted all the way down
to black and white to decrease the data load during an emergency midnight
modem connection to mission-critical servers over low-bandwidth.
Can I use UST-IP in a
VPN?
Yes. UST-IP fits into most any network configuration utilizing standard
TCP/IP. The network administrator simply adds UST-IP as a node on the
