3. Installation
The ServSelect IP system requires that the ServSelect IP software be installed prior
to use. ServSelect IP software allows you to view and control a server attached to
the appliance system, configure and maintain the system and prevent unauthorized
access to the appliance via IP connection.
NOTE:
The analog port does not require the ServSelect IP software for operation. The analog port uses
the On-Screen Display (OSD). For more information, see Chapter 4.
The ServSelect IP system uses Ethernet networking infrastructure and TCP/IP protocol
to transmit keyboard, video and mouse information between operators and connected
computers. Although 10BaseT Ethernet may be used, a dedicated, switched 100BaseT
network provides improved performance.
