CHAPTER 1 INRODUCTION

Easily Control Servers with Flexibility

The PLANET 8-Port Combo IP KVM Switch, IKVM-8020 is an enterprise-class, secure, KVM-over-IP switch that provides BIOS-level control of up to 64 servers. Use a dedicated micro-controller and potentially specialized video capture hardware to capture the video, keyboard, and mouse signals, compress and convert them into packets, and send them over an Ethernet link to a remote console application that unpacks and reconstitutes the dynamic graphical image. This IP KVM solution includes standard features such as Powerful Mouse / Keyboard Support such as installing software, transferring files and backing up data.

Powerful VGA / Mouse / Keyboard Support

The IKVM-8020 will detect the current video mode of the console automatically; and manual fine-tuning is also available to receive an optimal video quality. The IKVM-8020 will accept video streams with a dot clock rate up to 110MHz, therefore, the remote VGA resolution can up to 1600 x 1200 video resolutions. User can connect up to 8 PCs to the IKVM-8020. The IKVM-8020 also fully supports various models of PS/2 and USB mice manufactured by Logitech, Microsoft and IBM as well as compatible PS/2 and USB mice of other brands. The KVM supports the PS/2 and USB Keyboard Port of the CODE SET1/2/3 and further allows you to use the KVM for all kinds of servers and PCs.

2.4 Hardware Installation

Before installation, please make sure all of peripherals and computers have been turned off.

Step 1 Rack Installation

Find a convenient place to put your KVM Switch. Its 19” rack mount form factor makes it ideal stackable on 19” rack. When stacking to a rack, attach the included brackets to the sides of the KVM Switch. Take note of the length of your cables so that your computers, KVM Switch, keyboard, mouse and monitor are distanced properly.

Step 2 Connecting Monitor to the KVM Switch

Connect the monitor to the KVM Switch. Using the attached cable, or the one included with your monitor, connect it to the HDDB-15 female port on the back of the KVM unit labeled with the monitor symbol at the CONSOLE port connector.

Step 3 Connecting Keyboard to the KVM Switch

Connect the keyboard and mouse to the KVM Switch. If you have an AT type keyboard, you will need an AT to PS/2 adapter.

Step 4 Connecting Mouse to the KVM Switch

Connect the mouse to the KVM Switch.

Step 5 Connecting VGA/Mouse/Keyboard port of PC(s) to the KVM

Switch

Install the Master KVM to the 3-in-1 cable (same as the cable for connecting the KVM to the PC) in the middle of the Slave KVMs.

It is not necessary to power down the whole system for install a new PC

or KVM thereafter. All you need is to make sure that the new PC or KVM

is OFF during the installation. If the KVM powers down due to external

Factors (such as power failure or the power of the KVM is turned off), we

recommend you to reinstall the whole system.

CHAPTER 3 Operations

3.1 Manual Key

It is the simplest switching method. You just need to press the Port Selection

Switch on the front panel of the KVM. The Selection LED (Red) is on,

indicating that you are switching to the corresponding port.

1. The Port Selection Switch functions only when connected to a PC.

2. If the Offline Skip of the OSD System Setting is Auto, then you cannot

make any switch when pressing an offline Port Selection switch.

3. For Auto Scan Mode, none of the Port Selection Switches functions

3.2 Hot Key and Mouse Clicking

Hot key and mouse clicking are applicable for switching a small section.

You can select the SVS (Smart View Setting) from the OSD of the PC first

(for a quick switch of PC) and use the keyboard (press the Ctrl key twice)

or the mouse (press and hold the middle button while pressing the left or

right button) to switch to the previous or next set of PC.

The mouse must have at least 3 keys. As far as you select a PC with the SVS,

you can use this method for the switch.

3.3 OSD (On Screen Display)

Press the NumLock on the keyboard twice or simultaneously press the

Push Buttons 1 and 2 of the Port Selection Switch on the KVM panel to

start the OSD. Use the key Up, Down and Enter keys on the keyboard to

switch or directly move the mouse to the target PC, and then double click

the left button.

Additionally, you also can use the numeric keys to enter the direct switch.

For example, if you want to switch a PC to the Slave KVM port 04 under

the Master KVM port 03, then you can start the OSD and then directly

enter 0304. If you are using a standalone machine, then just enter the first

two digits.

More OSD related information is given in the following OSD sections.

8-port Combo KVM Over IP Switch

IKVM-8020

Start

Press the NumLock twice or the Port Selection Switches 1 and 2 on the

panel to enter the OSD.

If you have modified the Hot Key for starting the OSD and are unable to

enter the OSD by pressing NumLock, and then you can start the OSD by

using Port Selection Switch first, and then press F9 to enter into the

System Setting to modify the options of the OSD Entry Hot Key.

If you have modified the Hot Key for starting the OSD and are unable to

enter the OSD by pressing NumLock, then you can start the OSD by using

the Port Selection Switch first, and then press F9 to enter into the System

Setting to modify the options of the OSD Entry Hot Key.

Operation

You can operate the options by keyboard or mouse. For the keyboard

operation, besides the common Up and Down keys, there are special

function keys such as Enter, Space Bar, Function Key (F1, F4…) under the

OSD remark field. For the mouse operation, the left key refers to Enter and

the right key refers to Exit. For example, move the mouse point to your

desired PC, and click the left key. The selection bar will move to that

position and then click the left key again for the execution.

You must use the keyboard to complete the two functions: Name Edit and

Password.
