1. Introduction
Thank you for purchasing CAT5 8-Port / 16-Port Combo Free KVM Switch Over IP
(or CAT5 8-PORT/16-PORT IP-KVM for simplicity)! You now have a high quality,
durable system to control 8 or 16 computers through PS/2 and/or USB connection
from one console (PS/2 & USB Mouse, PS/2 & USB Keyboard, and Monitor). And
it allows you to control one or more computers locally at the server site or remotely
via the Internet using a standard browser. You can securely gain BIOS level access
to systems for maintenance, support, or failure recovery over the Internet.
Communication is secure via SSL authentication and encryption. Use in
conjunction with a KVM switch for multiple-server access.
