Section 1 - Product Overview
The D-Link KVM-410 is a control device that gives users the ability to monitor and access their computers from remote
locations using a standard Internet browser or Windows-based application. The KVM-410 connects to the Internet, an
Intranet, LAN, or WAN using industry standard Category 5 Ethernet cable, and uses a KVM cable to connect to an existing
local KVM switch, server, or workstation.
Because the KVM-410 uses TCP/IP for its communications protocol, the
server or KVM switch it is connected to can be accessed from any computer
connected to the Internet.
Users at remote locations connect to the KVM-410 via its public WAN IP address.
Onceaconnectionhasbeenestablishedandauthorizationisgranted,theuseratthe
remote location can exchange keyboard, video and mouse signals with the server
(or servers on a KVM switch installation), just as if they were physically present
and working directly with the equipment.
With its advanced security features, the KVM-410 is the fastest, most reliable,
most cost effective way to remotely access and manage widely distributed
multiple computer installations.
The Administrator and Client software included with the KVM-410 make it
easy to install, maintain, and operate. System administrators can handle a
multitude of tasks with ease - from installing and running GUI applications,
to BIOS level troubleshooting, routine monitoring, concurrent maintenance,
system administration, rebooting and even pre-booting functions.
Introduction

7D-Link KVM-410 User Manual
Section 1 - Product Overview
The administrative settings are available in the KVM-410 browser-based interface, as well as a Windows-based
application, the Administrative Tool. They are used to configure the system, limit access from remote computers,
manage users, and maintain the system with firmware and software module updates.
A Windows Client utility and a Java Client utility are also available in browser-based and Windows application versions.
They are used to initiate a connection to the KVM-410 and enable users to login from a local network or the Internet.
Inclusion of a Java-based client ensures that the KVM-410 is platform independent, and is able to work with all operating
systems.
These client utilities allow access to, and control of, the connected servers or workstations. Once a user successfully
connects and logs in, the screen displays what is running on the remote unit attached to the KVM-410 (a server or
workstation desktop, for example) and the user can control the remote console just as if they were on-site.
The Log Server records all the events that take place on selected KVM-410 units for the administrator to analyze.
Your KVM-410 investment is protected by the ability to stay current with the latest functionality improvements by
downloading firmware update files from the D-Link support website as they become available, and then using the
administrative tools to quickly and conveniently perform any necessary upgrades.

To configure the KVM-410 from an Internet browser, begin by logging in. The KVM-410 is set to obtain an IP Address
through DHCP by default, however, if it doesn’t obtain an IP Address after 30 seconds, the KVM-410 automatically sets
its IP address to 192.168.0.60.
If you cannot determine the IP Address of the KVM-410, install the Administrative Tool software utility included on the
product CD (see p. 46) or refer to the troubleshooting section IP Address Determination on page 81 of this manual for
assistance.
