5.2 Keyboard, Video, Mouse (KVM) Redirection
The Integrated BMC firmware supports keyboard, video, and mouse redirection (KVM) over
LAN. This feature is available remotely from the embedded web server as a Java* applet. This
feature is only enabled when the Intel
®
RMM4 Lite is present. The client system must have a
Java* Runtime Environment (JRE) version 6 or later to run the KVM or media redirection
applets.
The Integrated BMC supports an embedded KVM application (Remote Console) that can be
launched from the embedded web server from a remote console. USB1.1 or USB 2.0 based
mouse and keyboard redirection are supported. It is also possible to use the KVM-redirection
(KVM-r) session concurrently with media-redirection (media-r). This feature allows a user to
interactively use the keyboard, video, and mouse (KVM) functions of the remote server as if
the user were physically at the managed server.
KVM redirection console support the following keyboard layouts: English, Dutch, French,
German, Italian, Russian, and Spanish.
KVM redirection includes a “soft keyboard” function. The “soft keyboard” is used to simulate
an entire keyboard that is connected to the remote system. The “soft keyboard” functionality
supports the following layouts: English, Dutch, French, German, Italian, Russian, and Spanish.
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
Ability to select a mouse configuration based on the OS type.
Supports user definable keyboard macros.
5.2.1 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).
