ServSwitch Duo IPC
Wizard IP
Control of many hosts
On its own, the ServSwitch
Duo IPC provides access
to up to sixteen systems.
However, when linked
to other KVM switches
(ServSwitch Duo IPC or
otherwise) the user(s) can
easily control up to 128
separate host systems.
Optional power control
ServSwitch Duo IPC
provides the opportunity
to attach one or more
power switches. These
control the supply to the
host system(s) and allow
the remote user to hard
reset any system that has
suffered a failure.
Optional network/Internet remote control
The optional Wizard IP allows direct
connection to an Ethernet-based local
network and from there onto the wider
Internet, as required. The robust Wizard
IP security system will also allow direct
connection to the Internet. A second Wizard
IP can be added to the other user port to
provide even greater remote connectivity.
The Wizard IP also provides a local user
connection port.
Dual users
ServSwitch Duo IPC allows control
of the host systems by two directly
connected keyboard/video/mouse
sets. Alternatively, a Wizard IP can
be connected instead to provide
remote control options.
Welcome
Introduction
Thank you for choosing the ServSwitch Duo IPC from
Black Box. This advanced switch allows you to control
multiple host computers directly, or far more computers
in combination with other similar switches. Two users can
simultaneously access any connected host computers.
With the addition of the optional Wizard IP unit, the
user(s) can be situated anywhere via the internet.
In common with other advanced switching devices, the
ServSwitch Duo IPC and Wizard IP both support the
Port Direct
format. This messaging system allows the
interconnected switches to declare between themselves
the locations and requirements of their respective host
computers. This greatly eases configuration and simplifies
host computer selection.
