2. Introduction

The KVM over IP technology (KVM Switch + IP Console Module) combines digital remote
KVM access via IP networks with comprehensive and integrated system management. The
KVM over IP defines a new class of remote KVM access which provides flexibility that can
prevent extra costs, save times and reduce spaces, and equipment.
The KVM over IP provides convenient, remote KVM access and control via LAN or Internet.
It captures, digitizes, and compresses video signal and transmits it with keyboard and
mouse signals to and from a remote computer. KVM over IP provides a non-intrusive
solution for remote access and control. Remote access and control software runs on its
embedded processors only but not on mission-critical servers, so that there is no
interference with server operation or impact on network performance.
The KVM IP Console Module will automatically detect the current video mode of the
console, however manual fine-tuning is recommended to receive the best video quality.
