Glossary
KVM:
Literally “Keyboard Video Mouse”, this term refers to technology
that allows two or more computers to be controlled by one keyboard,
video monitor, and mouse; some switches that use KVM technology
enable sharing of other peripherals such as audio speakers, microphones,
and printers.
KVM Switch:
A device that allows a user to access and control multiple servers
from a single console. It has at least one console port and multiple server ports.
MAC:
Media Access Control. In computer networking, a MAC address is a
unique identifier attached to most forms of networking equipment.
OSD:
On-Screen Display, a graphical user interface that can be used to control
and configure the KVM switch.
Port:
An interface receptor on a server through which you can attach a device or
plug in a device cable.
Primary KVM Switch:
The switch that is connected to the console and is set to
BANK address 00.
SSL:
Secure Sockets Layer. Cryptographic protocols that provide secure
communications on the Internet for such things as email and Internet banking.
Secondary KVM Switch:
Any KVM switch that is daisy-chained to the primary
KVM switch and is set to BANK address 01–15 (and has no console connected).
TCP/IP:
Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol. Shorthand for the suite
of rules defining the format devices use to communicate over the Internet.
Target Server:
The server currently being accessed and controlled by the user
from a local or remote console.
