Introduction
Overview
The KN1000 is a control unit that provides remote BIOS-level access to servers
or “over-IP” capability to KVM switches that do not have built in over-IP
functionality. It allows operators to monitor and access their computers from
remote locations using a standard Internet browser or Windows and Java based
application programs. In addition, the KN1000 offers out-of-band access,
including external modem support, and supports BIOS-level troubleshooting
without the need for constant on-site IT maintenance.
To help you manage and control your entire data center environment, a built-
in single-port power switch allows remote power management of a server/
installation connected locally to the KN1000. You can also add a PON* (Power
Over the NET™) power management unit and remotely control the power
status of devices in your installation, including monitoring their current status,
as well as turning servers on, off, and rebooting them.
Note:
Requires a separate purchase.
The KN1000 connects to the Internet, an Intranet, LAN, or WAN using
industry standard Cat 5e cable, then uses a custom KVM cable to connect to a
local KVM switch or server. Because the KN1000 uses TCP/IP for its
communications protocol, the server or KVM switch it is connected to can be
accessed from any computer on the Net – whether that computer is located
down the hall, down the street, or half-way around the world.
