2. Introduction
The KVM over IP technology (DKVM-IP8) combines digital remote KVM access via IP networks with comprehensive and integrated system management. The DKVM-IP8 defines a new class of remote KVM access devices that can save your money, time, space, and equipment.
The DKVM-IP8 provides convenient, remote KVM access and control via LAN or Internet. It captures, digitizes, and compresses video signal and transmits it with keyboard and mouse signals to and from a remote computer. DKVM-IP8 provides a non-intrusive solution for remote access and control. Remote access and control software runs on its embedded processors only but not on mission-critical servers, so that there is no interference with server operation or impact on network performance.
The DKVM-IP8 supports console of USB style keyboard, mouse, and HDDB15 video interfaces. The DKVM-IP8 will automatically detect the current video mode of the console, however manual fine-tuning is recommended to receive the best video quality.

2.4 When the server is up and running
The DKVM-IP8 gives you a full control over the remote server. The Management Console allows you to access the remote server’s graphics, keyboard and mouse and to send special commands to the server. You can also perform periodic maintenance of the server. Using the Console Redirection Service, you are able to do the following:
I.Reboot the system
II.Watch the boot process.
III. Boot the system from a separate partition to load the diagnostic environment. IV. Run special diagnostic programs.
2.5 When the server is dead
Obviously, fixing hardware defects is not possible through a remote management device. Nevertheless DKVM-IP8 gives the administrator valuable information about the type of a hardware failure. Serious hardware failures can be categorized into five different categories with different chances to happen:
I.Hard disk failure 50%
II.Power cable detached, power supply failure 28%
III. CPU, Controller, main board failure 10%
IV. CPU fan failure 8%
V.RAM failure 4%

while using remote mass storage control.
12.Connect Ethernet to LAN port and/or modem to serial port, depending on how you want to access DKVM-IP8 switch
13.Power on the computer.
3.2 Operations
You can control the KVM Switch by three methods:
1.Using push buttons located on the front panel of the KVM Switch
2.Using the OSD (On-Screen Display)
3.Using hotkey commands through the console keyboard
It takes approximately 1-2 seconds for the video signal to refresh after switching servers and re-synchronization of the mouse and keyboard signals. This is normal operation and ensures that proper synchronization is performed at the console and the connected servers.
When you power on KVM Switch, if the security function is enabled (default is disabled), it will prompt a Login window waiting for you to enter the user name and password. You need to pass the authentication to control the KVM Switch.

DKVM-IP8 User Manual
4. IP module Configuration
4.1 Initial Configuration
If DHCP mode is enabled (IP auto configuration = DHCP), the DKVM-IP8 will try to contact a DHCP server in the subnet to which it is physically connected. If a DHCP server is found, it may provide a valid IP address, gateway address and net mask.
Before you connect the device to your local subnet, be sure to complete the corresponding configuration of your DHCP server. It is recommended to configure a fixed IP assignment to the MAC address of the DKVM-IP8. You can find the MAC address labeled on the bottom side of the metal housing.
If DHCP mode isdisabled (IP auto configuration = None), the factory default IP settings are as below:
IP address |
192.168.0.70 |
|
|
Subnet mask |
255.255.255.0 |
|
|
Default Gateway |
None |

Notes:
BOOTP, a static configuration protocol, uses a table that maps IP addresses to physical addresses.
DHCP, an extension to BOOTP that dynamically assigns configuration information. DHCP is backward compatible with BOOTP.
