Once you understand these proprietary network systems, its time to look at how digital technology can or will be integrated. New KVM technologies have a method of converting these analog signals into binary data for the purpose of digitally transmitting keyboard, video, mouse data over IP networks. (Audio and serial based input- output signals are limited to analog KVM Networks). User's familiar with Client/Server computing and its basic architecture will possess the insight to the underlying structure of the KVM Networks' backbone and the deployment of its associated hardware. Console In general refers to the actual peripheral hardware normally connected to a computer. The bare minimum components include a keyboard, monitor and a mouse when using a Graphical User Interface (GUI). It may include other peripheral components such as audio devices, printers, terminals or other serial devices. The extent of the signals supported in any given product will vary by manufacturer and their product line. Major KVM Network Components A KVM router acts much like a Cisco router - this is the section of hardware that interconnects other components of the KVM Network. It is usually positioned central to all other components that connect servers on one end (system input) and user consoles (system output) on the other end. The actual hardware component - may be dedicated to this task or may serve as one of the other major components - system and user chassis - as well as operate independent. See also dKVM Devices that are positioned on the user side of these components. Data Path The communication channel used to transmit a single set of console signals between chassis within a KVMS System, between the computer and the KVMS hardware or between the hardware and the users' console. The number of data paths used to communicate or pass signals between KVMS components is further defined by the products and the underlying System Topology. A data path is also directly related to system throughput - the number of concurrent users.   1  2  3  4  5  6
