Smart 108 / 116 IP - Quick Start Guide 1. Introduction To take advantage of the full range of features, we recommend you read the softcopy User Guide after performing the Quick Start procedure. It's in PDF format on the supplied CD or on our website www.minicom.com in the Support section. All references throughout this guide to the Smart 116 IP refer equally to the Smart 108 IP. The two units are functionally the same. The Smart 116 IP has 16 Server ports and the Smart 108 IP has 8 Server ports. The Smart 116 IP extends your KVM (keyboard, video, and mouse) from any computer or server over TCP/IP via LAN, WAN or Internet connection. Now you can control, monitor and manage up to 16 remote servers from wherever you are, inside or outside the organization. The Smart 116 IP is a cost-effective hardware solution, for secure remote KVM access & control of 16 computers/servers from the BIOS level - independent of the OS. One local analog or one remote digital IP user can access and control 16 multi-platform (PS/2, SUN, USB) servers. 1111 W. 35th Street, Chicago, IL 60609 USA www.tripplite.com/support Copyright ©2012 Tripp Lite.

No external power is needed at the remote ROCs. The ROCs draw their power from the computer's keyboard port (ROC PS/2) or from the USB port (ROC USB). 6.1.1 Connecting a ROC PS/2 You can connect the ROC PS/2 to a powered on computer, but it must be in the following order. Failure to connect in this order while the server is running, may lead to the mouse malfunctioning until the server is rebooted. 1. Connect the Mouse connector to the computer's Mouse port. 2. Connect the Keyboard connector to the computer's Keyboard port. 3. Connect the Screen connector to the computer's Video port. 6.1.2 Connecting a ROC USB The ROC USB supports Windows 98 SE and later, MAC, SUN and SGI, and all modern Linux distributions. To connect the ROC USB: 1. Connect the Screen connector to the computer's Video port. 2. Connect the USB connector to the computer's USB port. 3
