3.6 Access services
The Access Services™ feature supports a wide range of remote access
technologies. This enables the assignment of multiple services to a single Target,
so you have the option of in-band or out-of-band access to the same device.
KVM/IP is a hardware method of accessing and controlling a Target. The other
Access Services encompass gaining remote access and control of a Target through
the internet or LAN network via Minicom’s PX Serial or 3
rd
party software. Both
hardware and software methods of access are managed by KVM.net II.
KVM.net II also enables you to effortlessly integrate any new remote access
technology into the remote access portal.
