other support staff to interact with the server. In addition to the four remote users, local video

viewing and keyboard and mouse interaction with the server can still take place and is un-

effected by the KVM.

7.1.1 Keyboard Inputs and Mouse Activity

Keyboard inputs and mouse activity from the remote Intel

RMM - Web Console are received for

input to the managed server. The DVC algorithm reduces the round trip latency of remote

keyboard and mouse commands to the time of the video response. Impact on the network is

minimized through efficient data management and compression.

The result is a near real-time user experience. When multiple users are controlling the server

locally and remotely, the keyboard and mouse sharing is independent and coincident (dueling

mice). The Intel

RMM - Virtual Server Control emulates a standard USB keyboard and mouse.

Therefore, no special driver software is required on the target server under control.

7.1.2 KVM Data Encryption

The BMC supports encryption of the KVM data using the RC4 encryption protocol. The

encryption is limited to keyboard and video data. This encryption can be enabled or disabled by

configuration of the KVM viewer. To enable/disable the encryption of KVM data, the

KVMConf.properties file in the KVM install directory must be edited.

By default, the keyboard data is encrypted and video data is not encrypted.

The remote KVM (keyboard, video, and mouse) feature of the Intel

RMM - Virtual Serve

Control provides a means to complete the following actions:

 Capture managed server video signals

 Compress managed server video signals

 Encrypt managed se

Lastly, the managed server video signals are transmitted to a remote Intel

RMM -

The compression algorithm is Avocent’s Dambrackas Video Compression* (DVC – patent

pending).

Up to four concurrent remote sessions are supported. This support allows administrators and
