Chapter 1
Introduction
Overview
The KE8220 Virtual VNC Console is a thin-client device for managing remote
computers running AltusenVNC. The KE8220 and AltusenVNC employ a
client-server model to transmit a remote computer’s desktop environment over
a network to the KE8220. By connecting a keyboard, video, mouse (KVM)
console to the KE8220, you can access and manage up to 4 remote computers
at a time just as if you were sitting right in front of them.
The KE8220 also is useful for meeting room environments where laptop
computers abound. Presenters can connect to the KE8220 to display their
computers’ desktops on the attached monitor or projector. This eliminates
plugging and unplugging of video cables and hardware incompatibility issues,
so presentations progress more quickly and smoothly.
The monitor, keyboard, and mouse connect to the KE8220 via an HDB-15 port
and 2 universal serial bus (USB) ports. Or, you can use an ATEN PS/2 to USB
Adapter to connect a PS/2 keyboard and mouse.
The KE8220 operates over standard TCP/IP connections, so you can use your
existing network infrastructure. Or, install the included Wireless-G USB
Adapter to connect to 802.11b/g wireless networks.
Finding, adding, and accessing remote computers is easy. The KE8220
automatically searches the local network for remote computers running
AltusenVNC. You also can manually add computers or scan a broader range of
IP addresses and ports for remote computers running AltusenVNC. The
KE8220 stores connection information for up to 256 remote computers for
quick and easy access.
User management is equally simple. You can add up to 64 user accounts and
assign administration rights to users at anytime.
The KE8220 includes rich multi-language features such as multiple display
languages and support for keyboard layouts for several languages and regions.

Robust security is another feature of the KE8220. Login password
authentication and two-level user access control prevent unauthorized users
from accessing the KE8220 and making changes. Remote computers are
password protected and passwords are encrypted in all network
communications. On wireless networks, the KE8220 supports up to 256-bit
Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) encryption to thwart eavesdropping.
Additional features include a kit to mount the KE8220 to a ceiling, wall, or
system rack, and free lifetime upgrades for both the KE8220 firmware and
AltusenVNC software.
