Introduction

Adder KVM-over-IP devices provide the ability to control large numbers of host

computers from remote locations. When controlling larger groups of dispersed

computers using numerous KVM-over-IP devices, the major challenge becomes

one of management – retaining active control over a complex mix of devices,

host computers and registered users.

ADDER.NET has been developed as a common interface to help you to remotely

manage any number of KVM-over-IP devices together with all of their connected

host computers and the access rights of the users.

Security

To ensure maximum security, ADDER.NET does not retain any passwords within

its database for the KVM-over-IP devices that it controls. Instead, a valid password

is used once only to gain access to each device during the ‘acquire’ stage where

ADDER.NET establishes a Secure Ticket with the device. In all subsequent

accesses to each device, the relevant secure ticket is used to gain access.

SECT 1

A brief glossary of terms

Throughout the ADDER.NET application and also this guide, you will ﬁnd the

following terms used to describe the constituent parts of a typical KVM-over-IP

system:

Device - Any KVM-over-IP apparatus that allows remote access to one or more

computer systems (hosts).

Device cluster - KVM-over-IP devices can be grouped together to provide

multiple redundant connections to computer systems - such groups of devices

are called Clusters. Users are able to connect to the ﬁrst available device in a

cluster rather than a speciﬁc device.

Host - A computer system that is accessible remotely via a KVM-over-IP device. If

a KVM-over-IP device serves a single host, then they are usually considered to be

the same logical entity and there is no need to separately deﬁne the host.

Host group - A logical collection of host computers linked to the same or

different KVM devices which can be managed collectively and represented by a

single entry within ADDER.NET.

Manager - A user of the system with certain special privileges, in particular the

ability to manage the database associated with ADDER.NET.

Power control device (PCD) - A power switch (usually with multiple outlets)

that can control the mains supply being fed to computer hosts or KVM devices,

under the command of a remote user via a network connection.

Target - A target is anything that a user can make a connection to and that

can have user rights allocated to it. A target may be a device, a host or a device

cluster.

User - A registered user of the system who has a deﬁned access rights proﬁle.

User group - A logical collection of users who require the same access rights to

devices and hosts within the system. They can be represented by a single entry

within ADDER.NET and managed collectively.
