Introduction

Overview

The CN-6000 is a control unit that allows operators to monitor and access their
computers from remote locations. The CN-6000 connects to the Internet, an
Intranet, LAN, or WAN using industry standard Category 5 cable, then uses KVM
cable to connect to a local KVM switch or server.

Since the CN-6000 uses TCP/IP for its communications protocol, the server or
KVM switch it is connected to can be accessed from any computer on the Net ­whether that computer is located down the hall, down the street, or half-way
around the world.

Operators at remote locations connect to the CN-6000 via its IP address. Once a
connection has been established and authorization granted, operators of the remote
computer can exchange keyboard, video and mouse signals with the server (or
servers on a KVM switch installation), just as if they were present locally and
working on the equipment directly.

CN-6000 User Manual

With its advanced security features, the CN-6000 is the fastest, most reliable, most
cost effective way to remotely access and manage widely distributed multiple
computer installations.

The Administrator and Client software utilites provided with the CN-6000 make
it easy to install, maintain, and operate. System administrators can handle a
multitude of tasks with ease - from installing and running GUI applications, to
BIOS level troubleshooting, routine monitoring, concurrent maintenance, system
administration, rebooting and even pre-booting functions.

The Administrator Utility is used to: configure the system; limit access from
remote computers; manage users; and maintain the system with firmware and
software module updates.

Both a Windows GUI Client and a Java Client are provided for IP connection and
login from anywhere on the net. Inclusion of a Java-based client ensures that the
CN-6000 is platform independent, and is able to work with all operating systems.

The CN-6000’s client software allows access to, and control of, the connected
servers. Once an operator successfully connects and logs in, his screen displays
what is running on the remote unit attached to the CN-6000 (a KVM OSD display,
a server’s desktop, or a running program, for example) and he can control it from
his console just as if he were there.

The Log Server records all the events that take place on selected CN-6000 units
for the administrator to analyze.

Your CN-6000 investment is protected by a Firmware Upgrade Utility. You can
stay current with the latest functionality improvements by downloading firmware
update files from our website as they become available, and then using the utility
to quickly and conveniently perform the upgrade.

Troubleshooting

Symptom Action

Users cannot find the
CN-6000 on the network.

After I move the
CN-6000 to a different
computer, it no longer
shows up on the
network.

The Administrator Utility

The power on sequence may not have been performed
correctly. You must power up the CN-6000 before
powering up the equipment it connects to.

This can happen if the new network supports DHCP but the
CN-6000 is configured to set the IP address manually, or if
the new network doesn’t use DHCP to assign IP
addresses, but the CN-6000 is set to obtain its IP address
automatically via DHCP (see p. 16, for details).

To resolve the problem:

1. Put the CN-6000 back on its original domain, and log
into it there.

2. Change the setting to DHCP (if that is appropriate), or
manually assign the CN-6000 a new IP address
corresponding to the domain that that the new computer
resides on.

the CN-6000. In order to implement their effects on the
remote system, a function key can be substituted for the Alt
key. If you substitute the F12 key, for example, you would
use [F12 + Tab] and [Ctrl + F12 + Del].

Note: To invoke an action, you must press and release the keys one key at a

Operation

Screen Information

Once the connection to the CN-6000 has been accomplished, the remote system’s
video output is captured and displayed on your monitor. At the same time, your
local keystroke and mouse input is captured and sent to th e remo te system .

A small OSD (ON Screen Display) window displays the video resolution, and
refresh rate of the remote system’s video output, as well as a Help button (in the
form of a question mark) to their right.

Note: 1. For computers running NT or Win 2000, the keyboard LED status also

displays. (For computers running Win 98 or Win ME, the LEDs on
your local keyboard reflect the status of the remote system.)

2. If the OSD is inconveniently positioned, you can move it by
dragging it to a different location with the left mouse button down.

Keystrokes

Until you close the CN-6000 connection, normal keyboard input is suspeneded on
the local computer. It is captured and operates on the remote system, instead. Only
[Alt + Tab] and [Ctrl + Alt + Del] are available to the local system–allowing the
user to switch among applications and to recover from system disaster on the local
computer.

In order to provide the [Alt + Tab] and [Ctrl + Alt + Del] functions on the remote
system, one of the Function Keys is used as a Substitute for the [Alt] key.

For example, the F12 key could substitute for the Alt key, in which case [F12 +
Tab] substitutes for [Alt + Tab]; and [Ctrl + F12 + Del] substitutes for [Ctrl + Alt
+ Del]. See Configuring the Hotkeys on p. 34 for details on setting up a substitute
key.

Note: While any Function Key can be used for the Substitute key, you must

not use one that is being used for another action.

Mouse Synchronization

Until you close the CN-6000 connection, normal mouse functions are suspended
on your local system. They are captured and sent to the remote system, instead.

From time to time, especially if you change video resolution, the local mouse
movement may lose synchronization with the remote system’s mouse pointer.

If this occurs, you can bring them back into sync by performing an Auto Sync (see
Video Adjustment, p. 38 for details).

If performing an Auto Sync doesn’t resolve the problem, do the following:

1. Invoke the Adjust Mouse action with the Adjust Mouse hotkeys (see p. 34

The Event List Window

This window displays tick information for the currently selected CN-6000. Note
that even though any other CN-6000s aren’t currently selected, if their Recording
checkbox is checked, the Log Server records their tick information and keeps it
in its database.

Troubleshooting

Problem Resolution

The Log Server
program does not run.

The Log Server requires the Microsoft Jet OLEDB 4.0 driver
in order to access the database. This driver is automatically
installed with Windows ME, 2000 and XP. For Windows 98 or
NT, you will have to go to the Microsoft download site:

http://www.microsoft.com/data/download.htm

to retrieve the driver file:

58

MDAC 2.7 RTM Refresh (2.70.9001.0)

Since this driver is used in Windows Office Suite, an alternate
method of obtaining it is to install Windows Office Suite. Once
the driver file or Suite has been installed, the Log Server will run.
