Soft Keyboard
Opens up the sub-menu for the Soft-Keyboard:
Show
Pops up the Soft-Keyboard. The Soft-Keyboard is necessary in case your host system runs a
completely different language and country mapping than your administration machine.
Mapping
Used for choosing the language and country mapping of the Soft-Keyboard.
Local Keyboard
Used to change the language mapping of your browser running the Remote Console Applet.
Normally, the applet determines the correct value automatically. However, depending on your
particular KVM and your browser settings this is not always possible. A typical example is a
German localized system that uses a US-English keyboard mapping. In this case you must
manually change the local keyboard setting to the correct language.
Hotkeys
Opens a list of previously defined hotkeys. Choose
one entry; the command will be sent to the host
system.
A confirmation dialog can be added that will be
displayed before sending the selected command to
the remote host. Select OK to perform the command
on the remote host.
4.3.3 Remote Console Status Line
Status line
Shows both console and the connection state. The size of the remote screen is displayed. The
example below was taken from a Remote Console with a resolution of 1024 x 768 pixels. The
value in brackets describes the connection to the Remote Console. Norm means a standard
connection without encryption, SSL indicates a secure connection.
Furthermore, both the incoming (In:) and the outgoing (Out:) network
traffic are visible (in kb/s). If compressed encoding is enabled, a value in
brackets displays the compressed transfer rate.

The KVM OVER IP SWITCH firmware features a Telnet server that enables a user to connect
via a standard Telnet client. If the Telnet program is using a VT 100, VT 102 or VT 220 terminal
or appropriate emulation, it is even possible to perform a console redirection, as long as the
KVM OVER IP SWITCH host is using a text mode screen resolution.
Connecting to the KVM OVER IP SWITCH is done as usual and as required by the Telnet
client, for instance in a UNIX shell:
telnet [your device’s IP]
Replace the IP address by the one that is actually assigned to the KVM OVER IP SWITCH .
This will prompt for the username and password in order to log into the device. The credentials
that need to be entered for authentication are identical to those of the web interface. That
