2. Introduction
Drawing upon our long and successful history within the field of remote system control, we have taken our best KVM via IP
technology and miniaturized it. The result is the ServSwitch Wizard DXS - Digital, a highly responsive, cost efficient way to control
a single system from any remote position - worldwide.
In situations where a single system must be placed in a relatively isolated location and yet must be controlled from elsewhere,
then Wizard DXS - Digital is the solution. The host system can run its usual operating system completely unchanged and needs
only to be connected to the compact Wizard DXS - Digital unit. This ensures that there is no performance hit associated with
other remote solutions and also provides the authorized remote user with complete control. The remote user uses a compact VNC
viewer utility and can link to the Wizard DXS - Digital via any connected IP network, or via the Internet.
IP network/Internet
The IP port allows direct connection
to an Ethernet-based local network
and from there onto the wider
Internet, as required.
Alternatively, the robust Wizard DXS
- Digital security system will allow
direct connection to the outside
world.
Four simultaneous remote users
Wizard DXS - Digital can support
four remote users at any one time.
Virtual Media feature
Allows an authorized remote user
to transfer files and folders to a host
computer, such that they appear as
though presented locally on removable
media (as would a memory stick or
CD-ROM). Via the IP network link, the
remote user can then control the host
and make use of the transferred files
and folders. An indispensable feature
when remotely upgrading or patching
distant host systems.
