Introduction

The SV1108IPEXT/POW 1 Port Remote Control IP KVM Switch with Virtual Media lets you control a USB or PS/2 server remotely over a LAN or the Internet.

The 1 port KVM over IP includes all necessary KVM cables, and offers KVM control from the BIOS-level onward. Reboot, monitor the entire boot process, and interact with your connected system easily, while the integrated single-port power switch allows you to power the server on or off remotely. RS232 support also lets you connect to a serial console device via Telnet or SSH.

Virtual Media lets you execute files via USB from the remote console as if they were local to the connected server. Perfect for remote driver updates, patches, application or OS installation.

The Java-based browser utility ensures the IP remote control unit is compatible with many current web browsers, and almost any operating system on the market.

Multiple integrated security features ensure a reliable single port IP KVM connection, including password-protection, IP/MAC address filtering, external authentication (RADIUS, LDAP, LDAPS, Active Directory) and advanced encryption (56-bit DES, 168-bit 3DES, 256-bit AES, 128-bit RC4).

The integrated remote power switch (SV1108IPPOW only) lets you Power the server on or off remotely as necessary.

Backed by a StarTech.com 2-year warranty and free lifetime technical support.

System Requirements

Remote User Computers

Remote user computers (also referred to as client computers) are the ones the users log into the switch with from remote locations over the internet. The following equipment must be installed on these computers:

For best results we recommend that the computers used to access the switch have at least a P III 1 GHz processor, with their screen resolution set to 1024 x 768.

Browsers must support 128 bit SSL encryption.

For best results, a network transfer speed of at least 128 kbps is recommended.

For the Log Server, you must have the Microsoft Jet OLEDB 4.0 or higher driver installed.

For Safe Shutdown:

The computer must be running Windows (Windows 2000 or higher), or Linux.

The Safe Shutdown program (available by download from our website), must be installed and running on the computer.

Conventions

This manual uses the following conventions: Monospaced Indicates text that you should key in.

[ ] Indicates keys you should press. For example, [Enter] means to press the Enter key. If keys need to be chorded, they appear together in the same bracket with a plus sign between them: [Ctrl+Alt].

1. Numbered lists represent procedures with sequential steps.

Bullet lists provide information, but do not involve sequential steps. Indicates selecting the option (on a menu or dialog box, for example)

Terminology

Throughout the manual we make reference to the terms Local and Remote in regard to the operators and equipment deployed in a SV1108IPEXT/POW installation. Depending on the point of view, users and servers can be considered Local under some circumstances, and Remote under others:

Switch’s Point of View

Remote users – We refer to a user as a Remote user when we think of him as someone who logs into the switch over the net from a location that is remote from the switch.

Local Console – The keyboard mouse and monitor connected directly to the switch.

Servers – The servers attached to the switch via custom KVM cables.

User’s Point of View

Local client users – We refer to a user as a Local client user when we think of him as sitting at his computer performing operations on the servers connected to the switch that is remote from him.

Remote servers – We refer to the servers as Remote servers when we think of them from the Local Client User’s point of view – since, although they are locally attached to the switch, they are remote from him.

When we describe the overall system architecture we are usually speaking from the switch’s point of view – in which case the users are considered remote. When we speak about operations users perform via the browser, viewers, and AP programs over the net, we are usually speaking from the user’s point of view – in which case the switch and the servers connected to it are considered remote.

Browser Login

The SV1108IPEXT/POW can be accessed either from an internet type browser, via Windows and Java application (AP) program, or by PPP modem dial-in. The next several chapters describe browser-based operations.

NOTE: Windows Vista/7 users who want to use the SV1108IPEXT/POW’s Virtual Media feature must run the internet browser as an Administrator.

Instruction Manual

14

Logging In

To operate the SV1108IPEXT/POW from an Internet browser, begin by logging in:

1.Open your browser and specify the IP address of the SV1108IPEXT/POW you want to access in the browser’s URL location bar.

NOTE: For security purposes, a login string may have been set by the administrator. If so, you must include a forward slash and the login string along with the IP address when you log in. For example:

192.168.0.60/SV1108IPEXT

If you don’t know the IP address and login string, ask your Administrator.

If you are the administrator, and are logging in for the first time, the various ways to determine the SV1108IPEXT/POW’s IP address are described in the Appendix on page 152. A Security Alert dialog box appears.

Accept the certificate – it can be trusted. If a second certificate appears, accept it as well.

Instruction Manual

15

The SV1108IPEXT/POW login page appears:

3.Provide a valid Username and Password (set by the SV1108IPEXT/POW administrator), then click Login to continue.

NOTE:

1.If you are the administrator, and are logging in for the first time, use the default Username: administrator; and the default Password: password. For security purposes, we strongly recommend you remove these and give yourself a unique Username and Password.

2.If you supplied an invalid login, the authentication routine will return this message: Invalid Username or Password. Please try again. If you see this message, log in again being careful with the Username and Password.

There are three choices for the Shutdown method. Drop down the list to select a choice. The meaning of each choice is described, below:

Wake on LAN: This is a Safe Shutdown and Restart option. If this is selected, when an Outlet is turned Off, the SV1108IPPOW first sends a message to the computer telling it to prepare for a shutdown; it then waits for the amount time set in the Power Off Delay field to give the OS time to close down before the computer is powered down to standby mode.

Likewise, when the Outlet is turned On, the SV1108IPPOW waits for the amount

time set in the Power On Delay field, Shutdown Method then sends an Ethernet message to

the computer connected to the Outlet telling the computer to turn itself On.

NOTE: For Safe Shutdown and Restart, the computer must be running Windows (98 or higher), or Linux, and the Safe Shutdown program (available by download from our website), must be installed and running on the computer.

System after AC Back: This is a Safe Shutdown and Restart option. If this is selected, when an Outlet is turned Off, the SV1108IPPOW first sends a message to the computer telling it to prepare for a shutdown; it then waits for the amount time set in the Power Off Delay field to

give the OS time to close down before the computer is powered down.
