Page 13: Chapter 2: Installation
2: I HAPTER NSTALLATION Chapter 2: Installation Configuring Target Servers Before installing IP-Reach, first configure any target servers that you wish to access via IP-Reach, in order to ensure optimum performance, as outlined below. Note that the following configuration requirements apply only to target servers, not to the computers that you will be using to access IP-Reach remotely (see Chapter 1: Introduction, Terminology). -
Page 14: Linux Settings
Linux Settings On target servers running Linux graphical interfaces, set the mouse acceleration to exactly 1 and set threshold to exactly 1. As mentioned above, please ensure that each target server running Linux is using a resolution supported by IP-Reach at a standard VESA resolution and refresh rate. Each Linux target server should also be set so the blanking times are within +/- 40% of VESA standard values. -
Page 15: Apple Macintosh Settings
2: I HAPTER NSTALLATION Apple Macintosh Settings For target servers running an Apple Macintosh operating system, while using IP-Reach to access and control your target server, you must set the IP-Reach client (Raritan Remote Client) to “single cursor” mode.

Page 36: Keyboard Macros
Keyboard Macros RRC allows users to create custom keyboard macros in order to send given key sequences to the remote server or KVM switch connected to IP-Reach. This feature allows customers to send keystrokes to remote servers that may be otherwise unintentionally interpreted by the computer on which RRC is running. IP-Reach’s Keyboard Macro feature can be used to ensure that keystroke combinations intended for the Target Server are sent to, and interpreted only by, the Target Server. - Page 37 3: R (RRC) HAPTER ARITAN EMOTE LIENT 3.

Page 39: Connection And Video Properties
3: R (RRC) HAPTER ARITAN EMOTE LIENT Connection and Video Properties IP-Reach's dynamic video compression algorithms maintain KVM console usability under varying bandwidth constraints. Unlike competitive solutions, IP-Reach optimizes its KVM output for not only LAN utilization, but also via the WAN and dial-up. By dynamically adjusting color depth and limiting video output, IP-Reach offers the optimal balance between video quality and system responsiveness in any bandwidth constraint. -
Page 40: Video Settings
Internet Flow Control Many public WAN links are by their very nature unpredictable. Packets sent over the public Internet do not necessarily arrive at their destination in the order they were sent. When using IP-Reach over an unpredictable public WAN (particularly in international scenarios), the Internet Flow Control toggle ensures that packets transmitted by IP-Reach are received and reconstructed by RRC in the correct order. - Page 41 3: R (RRC) HAPTER ARITAN EMOTE LIENT Analog-to-Digital Settings The following parameters are best left to IP-Reach to automatically detect (on the RRC Menu Bar, select Video > Auto-sense Video Settings), but a brief description of each is included here. PLL Settings: If the video image looks extremely blurry or unfocused, the PLL Settings for clock and phase can be adjusted until a better image appears on the active Target Server.

Page 42: Color Calibration
IP-R EACH ANUAL Color Calibration Automatic Color Calibration adjusts the color settings on IP-Reach to reduce excess color noise and data during digitization of video images. This data streamlining will increase the operational performance of IP- Reach, particular color accuracy. A very simple procedure to execute, Color Calibration should be performed if the color levels (hue, brightness, saturation) of transmitted video images do not seem accurate. -

When an IP-Reach unit is controlled by CommandCenter, CommandCenter determines the allowed users and groups. - Page 63 4: A HAPTER DMINISTRATIVE UNCTIONS Authentication vs. Authorization When your IP-Reach unit is configured for remote authentication, the external authentication server is used primarily for the purposes of authentication, not authorization. Authorization is determined by IP-Reach on the basis of user groups. That is, once a given user is allowed to access the IP-Reach system in general (authenticated), that user’s specific permission (authorization) is determined by IP-Reach based upon the user’s group.
