Introduction

With the innovative IP-based technology, PLANET has turned the conventional
KVM switches into networking devices. The IKVM-1000 captures, digitizes and
compresses video signal, then transmits it with keyboard and mouse signals
through IP network. Multiple remote sites can monitor the same PC server simulta-
neously. With SSL authentication and data encryption, the IKVM-1000 provides a
non-intrusive solution for remote access and control. The remote access and
control software operates on its embedded processors only, but not on mission-
critical servers, so that there is no interference with server operation or decrease
on the network performance.
