Once a Host has been added you can
update the commands that will be
executed in connecting the service to
the existing Host
The four (KCS6104) or sixteen (KCS6116) serial ports are all pre-configured by default in
Console Server Mode with RS232 settings of 9600 baud, no parity, 8 data bits and 1 stop
bit. If you wish to change these settings:
Click Configure to load the Management Console, the select Serial&
Network: Serial Port and click Edit for the relevant
the Common Settings (Baud Rate, Parity, Data Bits, Stop Bits and Flow
Control) to match those of the device being controlled.
At this stage you can also select the Console Server protocols (Telnet, SSH, TCP,
Unauthenticated telnet or RFC2217) that are to be used for the remote data
connection to this serial port. A Logging Level may also be set to specify the
level of information to be logged and monitored for each that port. Click Apply

The KCS6104/6116 has two advanced remote control options. One is to use VNC to
remotely control the thin client software (RDP, SSH etc) that is running in the
KCS6104/6116 itself, and have these clients control the devices. To do this:
Select System: Services on the Management Console and enable the VNC
server. At this point you may also want to enable other services that you may
wish to use in remotely accessing and configuring the console server (and
connected devices). The factory default enables HTTPS and SSH access to the
console server and disables HTTP and Telnet. Click Apply
Click Manage: KCS: Connect and your browser will automatically download
and run a Java VNC applet client. Or you can run the VNC client of your choice
(RealVNC, TightVNC, UltraVNC) on your remote management computer and
configure it with the KCS6104/6116 IP address to connect to
A second option is run the management client software (RDP, SSH etc) remotely and
then securely SSH tunnel these clients through the KCS6104/6116 to the serially or
network attached devices. This is particularly useful when you have proprietary
