User manual

Remote consoles connect to the KN9116 via its IP address. Software utilities
are provided with the KN9116 that make remote access smooth and efficient. A
menu driven OSD Administration function enables system administrators to
handle a multitude of maintenance tasks with ease - from installing and running
GUI applications, to BIOS level troubleshooting, routine monitoring,
concurrent maintenance, system administration, rebooting and even
pre-booting functions.
Remote operators can log in from anywhere on the net via their browser. Once
they successfully log in, operators can take control using either the Windows
Client or Java Client utility. Inclusion of a Java-based client ensures that the
KN9116 is platform independent, and is able to work with all operating
systems.
The client software allows operators to exchange keyboard, video and mouse
signals with the computers attached to the KN9116 just as if they were present
locally and working on the equipment directly. With the KN9116’s Panel
Array feature, the video output of up to 16 computers can be displayed at the
same time.
The KN9116 features high density 15 pin CPU port connectors instead of the
usual 25 pin connectors. This space-saving innovation allows a full 16 port
switch to be conveniently installed in a 1U system rack.
Setup is fast and easy; plugging cables into their appropriate ports is all that is
entailed. Because the KN9116 intercepts keyboard input directly, there is no
need to get involved in complex installation routines, or to be concerned with
incompatibility problems.
Since the KN9116’s firmware is upgradeable over the Net, you can stay current
with the latest functionality improvements simply by downloading firmware
updates from our website as they become available.
With its advanced security features, the KN9116 is the fastest, most reliable,
most cost effective way to remotely access and manage widely distributed
multiple computer installations.
