3. Features of IP Extender
• KVM (keyboard, video, mouse) access over IP or analogous telephone line.
• Automatically senses video resolution for best possible screen capture
• High-performance mouse tracking and synchronization
• Connect a user console for direct access to KVM switch
• Local Mouse suppression (only when using SUN's Java Virtual Machine)
IP Extender supports PS/2 type keyboards and mice and HD 15 video output. See
the pin assignments in Appendix C.
IP Extender automatically detects the current video mode of the console, however
manual tuning is recommended to get the best video quality. IP Extender will accept
video streams up to 110 MHz dot clock. This results in a screen resolution of
1280x1024 dots with a refresh rate of 75Hz.
4. Remote power management
There are 2 remote power management options:
• External scalable power switch box
• IPMI Version 1.5
The management system to use depends on the remote server interface.
External Power Switch Option - When there is neither a IPMI V1.5 option
available or the ability to place a bracket in the remote system, an external power
switch box can switch the power on and off.
