Introduction

The Administrator and Client utilities make the unit installation, maintenance and operation
easy. System administrators can handle a multitude of tasks with ease - from installing and run-
ning GUI applications, to BIOS level troubleshooting, routine monitoring, concurrent mainte-
nance, system administration, rebooting and even pre-booting functions.

The Administrator Utility is used to configure the system, limit access from remote computers,
manage users and maintain the system with firmware and software module updates.

The Log Server records all the events that take place on the B014-000 for the administrator to
analyze.

Both a Windows GUI Client and a Java Client are provided for IP connection and login to the
unit from anywhere on the net. The client software allows the user to view and control the
servers connected to the B014-000. The Java-based client ensures that the B014-000 is plat-
form independent and is able to work with all operating systems.

Once successfully connected and logged in, the user's screen displays whatever is running on
the unit that is connected to the B014-000 (whether it is a KVM OSD display, a server's desk-
top or a running program).  The user can then control the system from his console just as if he
were there.

Note: If you use more than one B014-000, the units must be at least 1000 ft. apart.
