The Avocent IPUHD 4K IP KVM device is used to conduct a KVM session with one or more target devices attached to one or
more KVM switches. When you connect to a device using the Avocent IPUHD 4K IP KVM device, the target screen appears in
a new window. The Avocent IPUHD 4K IP KVM device allows you to control the target server in person remotely. When you
connect to the Avocent IPUHD 4K IP KVM device, your session can be confined to a window on your desktop or expanded to
fit your entire desktop. You can manage computer settings, access files, and launch virtual media sessions from the client.
You can use the menu located at the top of the window to access features such as screen capture, refresh, and virtual
keyboard. Although you can use the virtual keyboard to enter text to the target server, you can use the Macros feature to
send multi-key commands to make sure the command string is accurate. Depending on the operating system selected in the
Macros settings, the command options will change. You can also configure the settings of the
Avocent IPUHD 4K IP KVM device using the Settings icon.
