12 IP-REACH USER MANUAL
KVM Input Ports
Connect the DB25 end of an included CCP20 cable(s) to the “KVM” ports and connect the other end of
the CCP cable to corresponding PS/2 keyboard, mouse, and VGA video ports of the KVM switches or
servers to which you wish to provide remote network access.
KVM Output / Local Access Console Ports (optional)
Connect a PS/2 keyboard, mouse, and multisync monitor to these ports if you wish to have local direct
analog access to the servers or KVM switches to be connected to the corresponding “KVM In” ports.
Note:
For IP-Reach Model M2, the Local Access Console attached to a KVM Out Port
will view the KVM switch or server attached to the corresponding KVM In Port number.
For example, the User Console attached to KVM Out Port 1 will view the KVM switch or
server attached to KVM In Port 1.
Dedicated Modem Port (optional)
IP-Reach M Series models feature a dedicated modem port. By attaching a standard external serial
modem to this port, users may retain remote access to IP-Reach when the LAN/WAN is unavailable.
Use a standard, straight-thru (not null modem) serial cable to connect IP-Reach to your external serial
modem. Then connect the “Tel Line” port of your modem to an analog phone line (see your external
serial modem’s documentation for more details).
Serial Input Port (optional)
Serially-controlled devices (VT100 terminal emulation) may be accessed remotely via IP-Reach by
attaching them to the Serial IN port found on the back of IP-Reach.
The serial port on IP-Reach is of type DTE. Therefore, when connecting another DTE serial device to IP-
Reach, use a null modem serial cable. When connecting a DCE serial device to IP-Reach, use a straight-
through serial cable.
