1. Introduction
To take advantage of the full range of features, we recommend you read the
softcopy User Guide after performing the Quick Start procedure. It's in PDF format
on the supplied CD or on our website www.minicom.com in the Support section.
The SmartRack 116 IP extends your KVM (keyboard, video, and mouse) from any
computer or server over TCP/IP via LAN, WAN or Internet connection. Now you
can control, monitor and manage up to 16 remote servers from wherever you are,
inside or outside the organization. The SmartRack 116 IP is a cost-effective
hardware solution, for secure remote KVM access & control of 16
computers/servers from the BIOS level - independent of the OS. One local analog
or one remote digital IP user can access and control 16 multi-platform (PS/2, SUN,
USB) servers at a time.
Occupying just 1U of rack space, it's the neat, space-saving way to control your
data rack. It comes with all the hardware you need to mount it, and is easy to
install.
To access servers, just slide out the drawer and flip up its top to display the large,
high resolution 17" TFT LCD display.
The display is (VGA/SVGA/XGA/SXGA compatible) with front-panel high-
quality controls and Touchpad for easy adjustment.
