Introduction
Overview
The KN9000 is a control unit that uses the IP protocol to allow administrators
to monitor and access their computers from remote locations. The KN9000
connects to the Internet, an Intranet, LAN, or WAN using industry standard
Category 5 cable; and to a local server or KVM switch using KVM cables.
Since the KN9000 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 KN9000 via its IP address. Once a
connection to a KN9000 has been established and authorization granted, the
remote computers can exchange keyboard, video and mouse signals with the
server or KVM switch - just as if they were physically present and working on
the equipment directly.
Utilizing advanced security features, the KN9000 is the fastest, most reliable,
most cost effective way to remotely access and manage widely distributed
multiple computer installations.
