DX USER IP II

2.1 Standalone mode or KVM.net

DX User IP II can be used in any of the following 3 modes:

· Standalone

· KVM.net enabled

· KVM.net managed

KVM.net is a centralized IP based system for secure control of servers and network

devices, power and user administration in the data center environment. KVM.net

combines Out-Of-Band, KVM via IP access with modern IT standards and

requirements. It is the most comprehensive remote server maintenance solution

available in the market today.

These 3 modes are now explained.

2.1.1 Standalone mode

Standalone mode refers to using the DX User IP II as part of the DX system only

and working via the DX AIM interface without KVM.net, for remote KVM access

and control via a LAN or Internet connection.

2.1.2 KVM.net enabled / managed

The DX User IP II can be KVM.net enabled or KVM.net managed. Both of these

refer to managing and accessing servers connected to the DX system via the

KVM.net Manager.

KVM.net enabled means the DX is still capable of working in Standalone mode.

KVM.net managed means the DX is fully managed and controlled by KVM.net,

access to the AIM interface is blocked but can be achieved where necessary via

hotkeys. Details of the differences between KVM.net enabled and managed will be

explained in the configuration and operating sections later on in this Guide.
