Provider (ISP) to which you can dial in. The connection is established using the
Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP). Before you connect to the DKVM-IP1 switch, make sure to
configure your console computer accordingly. For instance, on Windows based operating
systems you can configure a dial-up network connection, which defaults to the right
settings like PPP.
The Modem Settings panel allows you to configure the remote access to the DKVM-IP1
switch using a modem. The meaning of each parameter will be described below. The
modem settings are part of the serial settings panel.
Serial line speed
The speed the DKVM-IP1 switch is communicating with the modem. Most of all
modems available today will support the default value of 115200 bps. In case you are
using an old modem and discovering problems try to lower this speed.
Modem Init String
The initialization string used by the DKVM-IP1 switch to initialize the modem. The
default value will work with all modern standard modems directly connected to a
telephone line. In case you have a special modem or the modem is connected to a
local telephone switch that requires a special dial sequence in order to establish a
connection to the public telephone network, you can change this setting by giving a
new string. Refer to the modem's manual about the AT command syntax.
Modem server IP address
This IP address will be assigned to the DKVM-IP1 switch itself during the PPP
handshake. Since it is a point-to-point IP connection virtually every IP address is
possible but you must make sure, it is not interfering with the IP settings of the
DKVM-IP1 switch and your console computer. The default value will work in most
cases.
Modem client IP address
This IP address will be assigned to your console computer during the PPP
handshake. Since it is a point-to-point IP connection virtually every IP address is
possible but you must make sure, it is not interfering with the IP settings of the
DKVM-IP1 switch and your console computer. The default value will work in most
cases.
Passthrough access to serial port via Telnet
Using this option, it is possible to connect an arbitrary device to the serial port and access
it (assuming it provides terminal support) via Telnet. Select the appropriate options for the
serial port and use the Telnet Console, or a standard Telnet client to connect to the
DKVM-IP1 switch .
IPM 220-L (Inline Power Module)
This is an optionally available external module to switch power of a single system by
putting it in the power supply line of the controlled system.
