HAPTER NTRODUCTION
The ARMC/3P defines a new class of remote access devices. It combines digital remote
access via IP networks with comprehensive and integrated system management. The
ARMC/3P offers convenient, remote KVM access and control via LAN or Internet. It
captures, digitizes, and compresses video and transmits it with keyboard and mouse
signals to and from a remote computer. Remote access and control software runs on its
embedded processors only, but not on mission critical servers, so there is no
interference with server operation or impact on network performance.
Furthermore, the ARMC/3P offers additional remote power management with the help of
optional available devices. Features of the ARMC/3P are:
- KVM (keyboard, video, mouse) access over IP or telephone line
- No impact on server or network performance
- Automatically senses video resolution for best possible screen capture
- High-performance mouse tracking and synchronization
- Port to connect a user console for direct analogous access to KVM device
- Local mouse suppression (only when using SUN's Java Virtual Machine)
- Remote Power Management
- Remote Virtual Media
