Overview
Congratulations on your purchase of UST-IP, the industry-leading solution for multi-platform, high-
performance, network-based, remote KVM console access. UST-IP enables highly-secure, multi-user,
bandwidth-efficient, and software-independent access to your servers’ KVM consoles via a web browser.
UST-IP uses Raritan's powerful frame-grabber and Video Compression Algorithm to capture, digitize, and
compress the video signal before transmitting to a remote PC. The remote user has direct access and total
control of target servers for maintenance, administration, and trouble-shooting, from running GUI
applications to BIOS-level troubleshooting, and even rebooting.
Use UST-IP for convenient access to servers anytime, from anywhere:
Control servers from within the building or across a campus
Manage servers at branch offices from a central site
Provide remote support for worldwide data centers
Troubleshoot, reconfigure, and reboot servers from home
Provide convenient and secure lights-out server management
Access via Internet, LAN/WAN, or dial-up Modem
UST-IP provides a broad array of remote access methods to control any server connected to a Raritan KVM
Switch. Since servers can also be accessed out-of-band with UST-IP, remote access to mission-critical
target servers is always available - even if the network is down.
