Wizard IP

ServSwitch Duo IPC

Wizard IP

Control of many hosts

On its own, the ServSwitch Duo

IPC provides access to either eight

(model ACR6208A) or sixteen (model

ACR6216A) host systems. However,

when linked to other KVM switches

(ServSwitch Duo IPC or otherwise) the

user(s) can easily control up to 128

separate host systems.

Optional power control

One or more optional power switches can be

attached to either unit. These control the supply

to the host system(s) and allow the remote user to

hard reset any system that has suffered a failure.

Remote control

The Wizard IP allows direct connection to

an Ethernet-based local network and from

there onto the wider Internet, as required.

The robust Wizard IP security system will also

allow direct connection to the Internet.

Local control

Both the Wizard IP and

ServSwitch Duo IPC provide

ports to allow local user

control, when required.

Welcome

Introduction

This guide is intended as a brief overview to using

the Wizard IP and the ServSwitch Duo IPC products

together. Both of these products are supplied with

their own dedicated guides and this overview

provides clickable links to those guides (when their

les are stored in the same folder of your system).

The Wizard IP and ServSwitch Duo IPC are both

powerful and popular products in their own rights.

However, when they are combined, the resulting

system is even greater than the sum of its parts.

Together these products equip you with full control

of multiple host computers from literally anywhere,

all via a basic internet connection.

Part 2 – Remote conguration

This must be made using a remote connection (network or dial-up modem/ISDN).

It allows ne tuning of the Part 1-local conguration items, plus the creation of

multiple user accounts and declaration of all host computers.

Conguration

You can congure the Wizard IP and ServSwitch Duo IPC devices in any order,

however, when your local monitor, keyboard and mouse are connected to the

Wizard IP, it is that device that you will see rst. In such cases, start with the

Wizard IP.

Wizard IP

Wizard IP has a two-part initial conguration:

Part 1 – Local conguration

This must be carried out using the locally connected keyboard and monitor.

It prompts you to set up key basic details, network essentials, modem/ISDN

parameters and security key creation.

ServSwitch Duo IPC

The ServSwitch Duo IPC conguration can be carried out from the local

keyboard and monitor, connected to either the Wizard IP or to the ServSwitch

Duo IPC. The advantage of the former is that you can gain access to either

device from the same position. Once the Wizard IP is initially congured, you can

even congure the ServSwitch Duo IPC via a remote link.

See Overall initial conguration

The important aspects to congure are:

• Enable security

• Set admin user password

Important

Individually the Wizard IP and ServSwitch Duo

IPC can both maintain their own separate

records of computers and users. However,

when used together, the ServSwitch Duo IPC

operates strictly as a slave to the Wizard IP. This

means that almost all conguration of users

and computers need only take place on the

Wizard IP. The exception to this is the creation

of a unique password for the ServSwitch Duo

IPC admin user.

You do not need to congure any users

or computers on the ServSwitch Duo IPC

unless, a local user, connected directly to

the ServSwitch Duo IPC, will need to access

computers.

The important aspects to congure

are:

• Security considerations

• Register all host computers

• Register all users and dene

which hosts computers to which

they will have access.
