Altusen KN9000, User Manual

Page: 12 / 76

The Administrator and Client utilites provided with the KN9000 package make
the KN9000 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.
The Log Server records all the events that take place on selected KN9000 units
for the administrator to analyze.
On the client side, both a Windows GUI Client and a Java Client are provided
for IP connection and login to the KN9000 unit from anywhere on the net. The
client software allows the user to view and control the servers connected to the
KN9000. Inclusion of a Java-based client ensures that the KN9000 is platform
independent, and is able to work with all operating systems.
Once an operator successfully connects and logs in, his screen displays what is
running on the remote unit attached to the KN9000 (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.
