    Note: The KVM over IP feature described in this chapter is NOT supported by the QSSC-310LA SKU. KVM stands for Keyboard, Video, and Mouse. KVM over IP redirects server video screen, keyboard, and mouse data to or from a remote console PC via a network, so that the administrator can monitor the server and control keyboard and mouse to operate the server remotely.
  • Page 82: Usb Keyboard And Mouse Emulation

    Chapter 5 — Using the Client USB Keyboard and Mouse Emulation Once the AST2000 KVM over IP function is launched, AST2000 emulates USB 1.1 keyboard and mouse devices. As a result, the managed server’s BIOS or OS will detect the USB keyboard and mouse attached, and load their drivers to service them.
  • Page 83: Mouse Synchronization At Console Side

    Chapter 5 — Using the Client Mouse Synchronization at Console Side When the Java remote KVM application is launched on the console PC, the mouse position of the remote server and the console are automatically synchronized.

  • Page 85: Hot-Key Simulation

    Chapter 5 — Using the Client Hot-Key Simulation Since Windows or other application programs have priority in using hot-keys before the remote server, (for exam- ple Ctrl-Alt-Del), the Java remote KVM ignores these keys and does not send them. However, you can assign hotkeys in the Java remote KVM application (see Hotkey Setup on page 69) and these hotkeys are available on the menu-bar where user can select hot keys to send to AST2000 and the managed server directly, instead of pressing keys.
