Installing the SpiderDuo
Consider the following factors when planning the installation of the SpiderDuo.
USB Keyboard and Mouse Interfaces—Provide better remote cursor tracking. Some older
systems may not support USB devices or there may not be two USB ports available. In these
cases, the PS/2-interface model may be required. You configure either interface type by using
the software.
Serial Ports—Performs the initial configuration to setup parameters and connects to a target
COM port. It also allows remote users to Telnet or SSH to that port, eliminating the need for a
separate box to perform serial command line management. The serial port can also connect to
the Power Control Unit (PCU) for use as an AC power passthrough. For more information, see
PCU Power on page 41.
