Terminology

This manual makes use of the following terms to indicate components of a typical IP-Reach configuration.
While reading the manual, please refer to the diagram below for clarification when necessary.
Target Server(s) Servers to be accessed remotely via IP-Reach and its connected KVM
configuration.
A Windows-based computer used to access and control target servers connected
Remote PC
to IP-Reach.
Local Access An optional user console, consisting of a PS/2 keyboard, PS/2 mouse, and VGA
Console monitor, directly attached to IP-Reach to control target servers locally (not
through the network).
Single-port IP-Reach models (IPR-TR361 and IPR-M1) allow connection of one
local access console. Dual-port IP-Reach models (IPR-TR362 and IPR-M2)
allow connection of two local access consoles, three-port IP-Reach models allow
connection on three consoles, and so on.
Local Admin A PS/2 keyboard and VGA monitor directly attached to IP-Reach, used for
Console administration and setup. From this console, you can access IP-Reach
administration menus directly. You cannot view Target Servers of the connected
KVM configuration using this screen.
Although IP-Reach also allows remote administration via the network, the local
admin console provides the most convenient means to perform initial setup.
