Remote control method and system for KVM switch

Abstract

The invention provides a remote control method and system for a KVM switch. The method comprises the steps that: the KVM switch acquires image data output by various electronic terminals connected onto the KVM switch, and sends the image data to a main control end through a controlled end performing communication connection with a remote main control end through the internet; the KVM switch simulates a USB input device to process a keyboard or mouse input signal generated by the main control end and received through the controlled end, and output the keyboard or mouse input signal to a corresponding controlled electronic terminal; and the KVM switch simulates the USB input device to form a storage device, and display the storage device in the controlled electronic terminal. By means of theremote control method and system for the KVM switch provided by the invention, only when a network connected to the KVM switch is available, the main control end can be connected to the KVM switch atany position of the Internet, and control any PC or server host connected onto the KVM switch; and thus, remote access of KVM is more convenient.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of remote control, in particular to a method and system for remote control of a KVM switch. Background technique [0002] KVM is the abbreviation of Keyboard Video Mouse. KVM switches allow you to access and control computers through direct connections to keyboard, video, and mouse (KVM) ports. KVM technology has developed from the initial basic SOHO office type to an enterprise IT basic computer room facility management system. Servers and devices located in multiple remote locations can be easily and directly accessed from the kvm client management software. The KVM over IP solution features full multi-site failover, a direct interface compliant with the new server management standard (IPMI), and the ability to map local storage media to remote locations. KVM products have gone through two generations of upgrades and developments from appearance to advanced: [0003] 1. Analog KVM technology [0004] ...
