SERVSELECT IP™ INSTALLER/USER GUIDE

Server Access Modules (SAMs) and serial SAMs
The SAM and serial SAM with CAT 5 design dramatically reduces cable clutter,
while providing optimal digital display resolution and video settings. The built-in
memory of the SAM simplifies configuration by assigning and retaining unique
server names or Electronic ID (EID) numbers for each attached server. This
integrated intelligence enhances security and prevents unauthorized access to a
server through cable manipulation. The SAM is powered directly from the server
and provides Keep Alive functionality even if the ServSelect IP is not powered.
The serial SAM is a DCE device that provides the primary interface between a serial
device and the ServSelect IP appliance. It provides VT100 terminal emulation, break
suppression and port history in a convenient module format. The serial SAM is
compatible with the ARI ports of the ServSelect IP appliance. See Appendix B for
more information on the serial SAM.
NOTE:
The serial SAM requires an additional power supply (PS123A or PS123E).
Access via network connection
No special software or drivers are required on the attached computers. Digital users
access the ServSelect IP and all attached systems via Ethernet from a PC running
ServSelect IP software. This software resides on the user’s PC only. User PCs can
be located anywhere a valid network connection exists. The ServSelect IP can be
configured on a separate network from your data network, allowing access to your
servers even if your applications network is down.
Point and click control with ServSelect IP software
The ServSelect IP software is a cross-platform management application that allows
you to view and control the ServSelect IP and all attached servers. The ServSelect IP
software provides secure authentication, data transfers and username/password
storage. By utilizing a browser interface for navigation with an intuitive split-screen
interface, this software provides you with a single point of access for your entire
system. From here, you can manage the ServSelect IP, install a new ServSelect IP or
launch a video session to a system server. Multiple servers can be accessed by one
user; each additional computer’s video will appear in a separate program window.
