50 IP-REACH USER MANUAL
- NO: To keep access to all Administrative Functions available only from the IP-Reach Admin
Console, and not from a Remote PC.
- YES (default): Allows remote access to all Administrative IP-Reach Functions by
administrators logged on at a Remote PC. See 9. Remote Administration.
• PC Share Mode: Determines global concurrent remote access. Enables up to eight remote users to
simultaneously log on to one IP-Reach unit and concurrently view and control a Target Server
through IP-Reach. Control is based on first active/keyboard mouse input, so multiple remote users
attempting keyboard input or mouse movement at exactly the same moment may experience uneven
control.
- Private Mode (default): No PC Share. Each IP-Reach path can be accessed exclusively by
only one user at a time.
- PC Share Mode: IP-Reach can be accessed by more than one user (administrator or non-
administrator) at a time. Control is based on first active keyboard/mouse input, so multiple
remote users attempting keyboard input or mouse movement at exactly the same moment
may experience uneven control.
- PC Share Admins Only: IP-Reach can be accessed by more than one user (administrative
users only) at a time. Control is based on first active keyboard/mouse input, so multiple
remote users attempting keyboard input or mouse movement at exactly the same moment
may experience uneven control.
Note:
PC Share Mode is a global setting. For individual user access settings see
Keyboard and Mouse Control and Concurrent Access Mode on the User Account Settings
screen. Each user profile can be set individually to enable/disable keyboard and mouse
control, and concurrent access.
• Logout idle users: Offers an option for IP-Reach to automatically disconnect remote users after
certain selected time intervals of inactivity have passed.
- Never (default): Idle remote users will never be disconnected.
- After 5, 15, 30, 60, or 120 minutes: Idle remote users will be automatically disconnected
from IP-Reach after the selected time period has passed with no active input from the Remote
PC.
• Log out of KVM on disconnect: Sets automatic log out from the connected KVM’s OSD.
- NO (default): No special commands will be given to effect to the OSD of the connected
KVM switch upon user remote disconnection from IP-Reach. When a remote user
disconnects from IP-Reach the OSD of the connected KVM switch will remain in the state
last seen by the user.
- YES: When a remote user disconnects from IP-Reach, then IP-Reach will automatically send
a log out command (<F9>) to the connected KVM switch.
Note:
For concurrent connections, the Log out command, if set, will be sent when the last
connected user logs off from IP-Reach.
Note: For the “ log out of KVM” option to function properly, IP-Reach must be
configured to match the base KVM switch’s hot key (see Chapter 3: Raritan Remote
Client, Remote Device Administration).
• Restrict remote IP address: Determines which remote IP address locations will be granted access to
IP-Reach.
- NO (default): Remote access to IP-Reach is unrestricted.
