Intel® Server Board S2600WP TPS Platform Management Functional Overview interactively use the keyboard, video, and mouse (KVM) functions of the remote server as if the user were physically at the managed server. The KVM-redirection feature automatically senses video resolution for best possible screen capture and provides high-performance mouse tracking and synchronization. It allows remote viewing and configuration in pre-boot POST and BIOS setup, once BIOS has initialized video. Other attributes of this feature include:  Encryption of the redirected screen, keyboard, and mouse  Compression of the redirected screen 4.13.1.2 Remote Console The Remote Console is the redirected screen, keyboard and mouse of the remote host system. To use the Remote Console window of your managed host system, the browser must include a Java* Runtime Environment plug-in. If the browser has no Java support, such as with a small handheld device, the user can maintain the remote host system using the administration forms displayed by the browser. The Remote Console window is a Java Applet that establishes TCP connections to the Integrated BMC. The protocol that is run over these connections is a unique KVM protocol and not HTTP or HTTPS. This protocol uses ports #7578 for KVM, #5120 for CDROM media redirection, and #5123 for Floppy/USB media redirection (both supporting encryption). 4.13.1.3 Performance The remote display accurately represents the local display. The feature adapts to changes to the video resolution of the local display and continues to work smoothly when the system transitions from graphics to text or vice-versa. The responsiveness may be slightly delayed depending on the bandwidth and latency of the network. Enabling KVM and/or media encryption will degrade performance. Enabling video compression provides the fastest response while disabling compression provides better video quality. For the best possible KVM performance, a 2Mb/sec link or higher is recommended. The redirection of KVM over IP is performed in parallel with the local KVM without affecting the local KVM operation. 4.13.1.4 Security The KVM redirection feature supports multiple encryption algorithms, including RC4 and AES. The actual algorithm that is used is negotiated with the client based on the client's capabilities. 4.13.1.5 Availability The remote KVM session is available even when the server is powered-off (in stand-by mode). No re-start of the remote KVM session shall be required during a server reset or power on/off. An Integrated BMC reset (for example due to an Integrated BMC Watchdog initiated reset or Integrated BMC reset after Integrated BMC firmware update) will require the session to be re-established.
