1. Introduction
The Smart IP Access extends your KVM (keyboard, video, mouse) from any
computer or server over TCP/IP via LAN, WAN or Internet connection. Now you
can control, monitor and manage your servers from wherever you are, inside or
outside the organization. The Smart IP Access is a cost-effective hardware solution,
for secure remote KVM access & control of a computer/server from the BIOS level
- independent of the OS. It is designed to connect to a single computer or to a
KVM switch to access multiple servers, over TCP/IP communication.
2. Key Features

condition and network connectivity, covering the entire spectrum of crash
scenarios.
Low bandwidth requirement. Provides a unique ability to utilize a standard
56Kbps analog modem connection, while allowing adaptive and configurable
bandwidth consumption when accessed via LAN.
Compatible with all major operating systems. Supports many hardware and
software configurations for the remote client and the target server computers, as
well as the KVM switch in use.
