2. Introduction
Features
LARA defines a new class of remote KVM access devices (see Figure 2.1 ). LARA
1
combines digital
remote KVM access via IP networks with comprehensive and integrated system management.
LARA offers convenient, remote KVM access and control via LAN, Internet, or ISDN. It captures,
digitizes, and compresses video and transmits it with keyboard and mouse signals to and from a
remote computer. LARA provides a non-intrusive solution for remote access and control. Remote
access and control software runs on the LARA embedded processors only but not on mission-critical
servers, so that there is no interference with server operation or impact on network performance.

Furthermore, LARA offers remote power management and remote system management according
to the interfaces of the remote server. LARA supports three ways of power management:
ˆ
via Peppercon’s internal reset/power option
ˆ
via external scalable power switch box
ˆ
via IPMI Version 1.5
