[Cialug] Avocent IP KVM

[Josh More]

Yeah, the console is a unit that translates from the KVM to an actual keyboard, monitor and mouse.

It's not a remote-friendly system, but is instead intended to fill a workroom with access to a data center without actually letting people into th data center.  You define security groups and each person's login defines the servers that they have access to.

If you're still interested, let me know and I'll get pricing and tech specs.

So, the "console" thing is on the other end of the lan connection and
"produces" the KVM output for use?

Definitely interested, however if I can't use it for remote access
somehow, it may not work.

        Thanks!
