Introduction - ADDER AdderLink iPEPS User Manual

Introduction

Drawing upon our long and successful
history within the field of remote system
control, we have taken our best KVM via
IP technology and miniaturised it. The
result is the AdderLink iPEPS, a highly
responsive, cost efficient way to control
a single system from any remote position
- worldwide.
iPEPS stands for 'iP Engine Per Server'
and gives an indication of the clear
design goals that have been applied
to this product since its conception.
In situations where a single system
must be placed in a relatively isolated
location and yet must be controlled from
elsewhere, then iPEPS is the solution. The
host system can run its usual operating
system completely unchanged and needs
only to be connected (via its keyboard,
video and mouse ports) to the compact
iPEPS unit. This ensures that there is no
performance hit associated with other
remote solutions and also provides the
authorised remote user with complete
control. The remote user uses a compact
VNC viewer utility and can link to the
iPEPS via any connected IP network, or
via the Internet.
Where local control is also required,
either temporarily or permanently, the
iPEPS Dual Access variant provides the
necessary local connections for keyboard,
monitor and mouse.
Adder Virtual Media feature
Allows an authorised remote user to
transfer files and folders to a host
computer, such that they appear as
though presented locally on removable
media (as would a memory stick, CD-
ROM or floppy). Via the IP network link,
the remote user can then control the
host and make use of the transferred
files and folders. An indispensable
feature when remotely upgrading or
patching distant host systems.
USB adapters
Every iPEPS module is
supplied with special PS/2
to USB adapters. These not
only convert the connector
types but also permit the
use of the Virtual Media
feature on USB equipped
systems.
Four simultaneous remote users
iPEPS can support four remote users
at any one time.
IP network/Internet
The IP port allows direct connection
to an Ethernet-based local network
and from there onto the wider
Internet, as required.
Alternatively, the robust iPEPS
IP network/
security system will allow direct
Internet
connection to the outside world.
