Installation

The KVM s3-1621 appliance requires connectivity to a computer running the KVM s3
Client. Use the KVM s3 Client to view and control target devices (one at a time) attached
to a KVM s3-1621 appliance. The analog port does not require the KVM s3 Client for
operation. The analog port uses OSCAR for the Fujitsu Technology Solutions graphical
user interface. For more information, see Chapter 3, "Basic operations", beginning on
page 15, or the KVM s3 Client User Guide .
The KVM s3-162 appliance transmits KVM information between operators and target
devices attached to another appliance over a network using either an Ethernet or local
connection.
The KVM s3-1621 appliance uses TCP/IP for communication over Ethernet. Although
10BASE-T Ethernet can be used, using a dedicated, switched 100BASE-T network or a
1000BASE-T network will improve performance.
