1 INTRODUCTION
The name of TK-IP101 is derived from an acronymic combination from it full
name, 1-Port KVM Switch over IP , which well explains the functionality of this
powerful machine in itself. Though lightweight in size and compact in form factor,
TK-IP101 is nevertheless a heavy-weight in its functional versatility, rock-solid
robustness and formidable security. It supports full 1024-bit PKI authentication,
256-bit SSL data encryption, LDAP, RADIUS as well Active Directory authenticat
ion
and RADIUS
accounting.
Dominant yet cost-effective solution for remote server management
scenarios
With the ubiquity of the DSL/Cable technology and the bandwidth availability
therewith, the IP-based KVM technology has emerged as a dominant player in the
new landscape of remote servers management. Today, the IP-based KVM Extender
has been regarded as a better and more cost-effective solution to address the critical
issue of remote servers management, which could only be partially tacTK-IP101d in
the past by expensive yet redundant software solutions or Enterprise Management
System. And TK-IP101 is a robust and versatile solution to address the needs of
modern remote server management scenarios.
Total server control from BIOS level up anytime anywhere
TK-IP101 gives users total control from preboot stage such as the BIOS-level CMOS
setting up to the GUI applications and daily maintenance routines such as power
cycling (power control unit required). And all these could be nicely done on your
admin desk using an ordinary web-browser management interface and a thin-client
software viewer. All you need for accessing your computer is to login the TK-IP101
and download the viewer program and get yourself connected to a whole bunch of
servers in seconds. A truly anytime anywhere access for the server administrator!
Versatile backup connection featuring a PPP Server or PPP Client
To provide the necessary redundancy of a second backup system while your network
might no longer works in critical situation, TK-IP101 also allows an easy and
convenient PPP connection over the dial-in modem phone line. It could serve as a
PPP server to accept a peer computer to make PPP connection request over either a
direct cable connection or a dial-in modem phone line. On the other hand, TK-IP101
could also serve as a PPP client to dial-in to your ISP or enterprise PPP server to
connect to internet, making a truly anytime access for remote client anywhere on
the Internet. Thus, the PPP server/client features in TK-IP101 allow users a second
backup system, which offers a direct cable/modem dial-in access to your connected
servers via PSTN while your network is down.
