Introduction; Welcome - Lindy SC5-4xIP User Manual

Introduction

Thank you for choosing the SC5-4xIP from LINDY. This
compact unit allows one local user plus four global
users (located anywhere that has a network/internet
connection) to view and take full control of multiple
host computer systems.
Each global user simply requires a Real VNC client
application which is supplied on CD and can also be
downloaded from various locations, even from the SC5-
4xIP unit itself. Alternatively, the unit can quickly serve
a Java applet to a global user, requiring only a standard
internet browser to operate.
Local user
One user can
be connected
directly to
the SC5-4xIP.
The local user
has the same
abilities and
status as the
global users.
CAM CAM
CAM formats
The CAMs are available in different formats to
support all common types of systems, which
can easily be mixed within a multi-format
configuration. Console CAMs use a serial
connection only and link to specialist devices.
Like the other models within the highly successful LINDY
SC5 family, this unit takes full advantage of category 5,
5e or 6 structured cabling to provide flexible installation
and configuration. Every connected computer is linked
by up to ten metres of standard CATx cable and one of
five types of CAM (Computer Access Module) according
to the port arrangements on each computer.
The SC5-4xIP can directly support up to sixteen
computers, however, this total can be increased to a
maximum of 256 by adding SC5 units in cascade to
provide a much larger network of controlled computers.

For larger installations, the KVM IP Manager
application manages your hosts, devices and users

operation. A copy is included with every SC5-4xIP unit.
Many computers
Each SC5-4xIP unit can directly support sixteen computer systems.
Each host system is linked using a Computer Access Module (CAM) and
category 5, 5e or 6 cabling to a maximum distance of 10m (32 ft) from
the SC5-4xIP unit.
All LINDY SC5 models provide full enterprise level
security to restrict access to authorised personnel.
Through the use of Console CAMs the SC5-4xIP also
allows global users to make console connections to
one or more specialist servers or network devices; thus
extending the flexibility of the remote management
facilities available.
Global users
The unit can
support up to
four global users
at any one time.
Each user can
link to any host
computer for
which they have
permission.
IP network/Internet
The IP port allows direct
connection to an Ethernet-
based local network and
from there onto the wider
Internet.
Alternatively, the robust
SC5-4xIP security system will
allow direct connection to
the outside world.
