Passthrough access to serial port via Telnet

it (assuming it provides terminal support) via Telnet. Select the appropriate options for the
serial port and use the Telnet Console, or a standard Telnet client to connect to the PS/2
IP-KVM switch .

Date And Time

This link refers to a page, where the internal real-time clock of the PS/2 IP-KVM switch can
be set up (see Figure 6-27). You have the possibility to adjust the clock manually, or to use a
NTP timeserver. Without a timeserver, your time setting will not be persistent, so you have to
adjust it again, after PS/2 IP-KVM switch loses power for more than a few minutes. To avoid
this, you can use a NTP timeserver, which sets up the internal clock automatically to the
current UTC time. Because NTP server time is always UTC, there is a setting that allows you
to set up a static offset to get your local time.
There is currently no way to adjust the daylight saving time automatically. So you
have to set up the UTC offset twice a year properly to the local rules of your country.
