Introduction Product Overview 1 Introduction Congratulations on adding Smart 108/116 IP to your remote access tools. This document provides installation and operation instructions for Minicom’s Smart 108/116 IP. It is intended for system administrators and network managers, and assumes that readers have a general understanding of networks, hardware, and software. Chapter 3 and Chapter 4 of this guide describe how to configure and operate the Smart 108/116 IP system remotely over IP.
Introduction Terminology Security – Supports the highest security standards for encryption (256-bit AES and HTTPS) and authentication for remote user and advanced OSD management, with multi-layer security for the local user. Centralized Management – Can be controlled by Minicom’s AccessIT/KVM.net systems for centralized over-IP management of distributed data center locations. 1.2 Terminology The following table describes terms used in this guide.
Introduction Safety radio frequency interference, the user, and not Minicom Advanced Systems Limited, will be responsible. Changes or modifications made to this equipment not expressly approved by Minicom Advanced Systems Limited could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment. 1.6 Safety The device must only be opened by an authorized Minicom technician. Disconnect the device from the power source and all cables from the device before service operation! 1.
Installation Overview 2 Installation 2.1 Overview Install the Smart 108/116 IP system as follows: 1. Remove the Smart 108/116 IP system from the package, and check that all components are present and in good working condition. 2. Mount the Smart 108/116 IP unit in a rack. 3. Make all hardware connections between the power source, Smart 108/116 IP, services, network, and KVM console. 4. Power on the Smart 108/116 IP unit. 2.
Installation System Components LED/Button Functionality Power LED Indicates the state of the Smart 108/116 IP unit: Green indicates that the unit is powered on; Red indicates that the unit is powered off. Remote LED Illuminates to indicate that a remote session is active. Link Illuminates to indicate that the unit is connected to the network. Local button When pressed, Smart 108/116 IP disconnects the client remote session, and the local mouse and keyboard become operational.
Installation Pre-Installation Guidelines 2.3 Pre-Installation Guidelines Place cables away from fluorescent lights, air conditioners, and machines that are likely to generate electrical noise. Place the Smart 108/116 IP unit on a flat, clean and dry surface. The Smart 108/116 IP unit is not intended for connection to exposed outdoor lines.
