Management Ports
The following list describes the management ports on the right back of the KVM/net.
Console – Its RJ-45 connection can be connected by a CAT5 to DB-9 cable to a COM port on a computer. Administrators can use a terminal emulation program to locally manage and troubleshoot the KVM/net.
Ethernet – Use the Ethernet management port for connecting an Ethernet cable for Intranet and Internet access.
User 1 – The User 1 port includes two PS/2 ports and a VGA port, which can be connected to a mouse, keyboard, and monitor. Once a local system is connected to the User 1 port, administrators can use the OSD (On Screen Display) interface to locally manage and use the KVM/net.
User 2 – This port is used for extending the local administration by connecting an RJ-45 cable of up to 500 feet to an AlterPath KVM RP. The KVM RP can be ordered separately. Administrators can use the OSD (On Screen Display) to locally manage and use the KVM/net without being in the same room as the KVM/net.
