APPENDIX J - The KVMADMIN utility
Particularly useful for complex ALIF 2112T congurations and the control of remote
installations, KVMADMIN is a powerful administration tool.
KVMADMIN is based upon the established VNC viewer and uses the same security
system. Rather than a graphical interface such as the standard viewer, KVMADMIN uses
command line control to provide the following administration facilities:
• Discover and adjust the ALIF 2112T conguration, including host systems,
• Save and restore the ALIF 2112T conguration,
• Set user names and passwords,
• Download the event log,
The use of KVMADMIN is strictly limited to the ‘admin’ user and for security purposes it
is not possible to retrieve user names or passwords from the ALIF 2112T.
To use KVMADMIN you require the IP address and admin password of the ALIF 2112T
unit. The command line is as follows:
kvmadmin <command> <ip address> [<parameters>]
where <command> is one of the following:
• -setcong <cong-le>
• -getcong <cong-le>
• -setusers <csv-le>
• -getlog <log-le>
• -gethosts <csv-le>
• -sethosts <csv-le>
• -setmodes <csv-le>
For instance, the command line:
kvmadmin -getcong kvm1.cfg 192.168.2.1
... downloads the current conguration from the ALIF 2112T unit at the given address
and stores it in the local le kvm1.cfg.
Whereas the command line:
kvmadmin -setusers users.csv 192.168.2.1
... congures the usernames and passwords for the same unit from the local le users.csv.
For more information about KVMADMIN, please refer to the user notes supplied with
the utility.
