Installation
The Remote Console Switch requires that the Remote Console Switch Software be installed
prior to use. Remote Console Switch Software allows a user to view and control a device
attached to the Remote Console Switch switch system, configure and maintain the system, and
prevent unauthorized access to the Remote Console Switch via IP connection.
NOTE:
The analog port does not require the Remote Console Switch Software for operation. The analog
port uses the On-Screen Configuration and Activity Reporting interface (
information, see "Basic Operations" on page 25.
The Remote Console Switch switch system uses Ethernet networking infrastructure and TCP/IP
protocol to transmit keyboard, video, and mouse information between operators and connected
computers. Although 10BaseT Ethernet or Gigabit may be used, Dell recommends a dedicated,
switched 100BaseT network.
