Installation
UltraLink is easy to install. Just connect the UltraLink to your standard 10/100 Ethernet
network, a keyboard, monitor, and mouse, and a KVM switch or standalone computer.
You can also connect a modem if you like for dial-up access. An IP address is assigned
from a simple menu at the local KVM port on the UltraLink. That completes the basic
UltraLink installation. Now go to a PC on the network and run the UltraLink Viewer
provided. Enter the IP address of the UltraLink and hit the connect icon. You are now
prompted for a password. Enter the correct password and you will be connected to the
switch or standalone computer as if you were directly connected.
Operation
The UltraLink has three access points to the switch or standalone computer: Ethernet,
serial, and a local KVM port. The local KVM port is an integrated switched analog port.
When you connect the UltraLink to a KVM switch, the integrated local KVM port
allows you to have direct analog access to the switch, so you do not lose the KVM port
on the switch. From the local KVM port, you are able to configure the basic network
and password information. All access to the attached computers is through a menu. The
menu prompts you to enter the password. Once the correct password is entered, if no
one else is connected you are granted access. Otherwise, you are informed that another
connection is in progress and you are denied access. If you use the Administrator
password, you can override the connection in progress for immediate connection.
Server Windowing
You can choose the size of the window that you work with. This allows you to either
park a scaled image of your server in the corner of your screen or work with it at full
resolution. By resizing the UltraLink window, you automatically communicate to the
UltraLink unit, which then sends scaled video to fit your resized window. When using a
reduced window, less data is sent improving performance and reducing network
bandwidth. If you wish, you can run in -scaled, scrolled, or full-screen modes.
