AlterPath KVM Installation, Configuration, and Users Guide 3
Note: The 500-foot limit includes the distance of the User 2 from the KVM and the
distance of the most remote system connected to a KVM port.
Secondary KVM units such as the Cyclades AlterPath KVM Expander or
another AlterPath KVM can be cascaded for extended KVM server
connections. A maximum of 32 secondary KVM devices can be cascaded
from the primary KVM extending the number of KVM ports to a maximum
of 1024.
If multiple sKVMs are installed in multiple remote locations, a Cyclades
AlterPath Manager (purchased separately) can manage all the KVM units
together with other Cyclades products and their connected devices through a
single IP address.
Access to the KVM for administration is separate from access to connected
devices. Only the KVM administrator can configure access to the KVM and
to the connected devices.
Both KVM administrators and users authorized to access connected devices
can use the Web Manager from a browser. Authorized users can log into
devices, manage power, and change their own passwords, but they do not
have access to the KVM screens for configuring users or ports.
All logins to the KVM are subject to authentication. The KVM administrator
can restrict access to each of the connected devices by choosing among
authentication methods for logins to the KVM and to its ports. Authentication
can be local to the KVM or through an authentication server.
The KVM administrator can further control access by controlling which ports
are assigned to each user name.
The KVM administrator can configure event logging, alarms, and
notifications, set up encryption, and data buffering.
