1
Power Outlet – The power cord included with the console connects to the unit here.
2
Reset Button – Pressing this button for 10 seconds restores the system to its factory default settings.
3
Serial Ports 1 and 2 – The KVM features two RJ45 serial ports for connecting serial manageable devices, such as PDUs, firewalls, and
routers (see the Serial Pinout section in the Owner's Manual for the pinout information).
4
LAN Ports 1 and 2 – The KVM features two RJ45 LAN ports for connecting to 10/100 Mbps networks. If LAN 1 goes down, LAN 2
takes over. When LAN 1 becomes operational again, the KVM will need to be rebooted to make it the default LAN port again. Note:
Only one LAN port can be turned on at a time; they cannot both be turned on. If you don't wish to use network redundancy, connect a
single network cable to the LAN 2 Port.
5
USB Port – This port currently serves no functional purpose. It is included for future functionality upgrades.
6
Server Ports – When connecting a computer/server, Cat5e/6* cabling connects from an available server port to a B078-101-PS2,
B078-101-USB-1 or B078-101-USB2 SIU which in turn connects to the computer/server.
* To ensure proper functionality, shielded Cat5e/6 cable must be used with the B078-101-USB2, and is recommended for all other SIUs for best performance.
Rackmount KVM Switch Front View
The NetCommander IP front panel is illustrated in the figure below. Note: The figure below shows a B072-016-1-IP , but the front panel will
be functionally the same for all models.
1
Power LED – This Blue LED illuminates to indicate that the unit is powered on. No light indicates that the unit is powered off. When
a LAN redundancy event occurs, and LAN 2 takes over for LAN 1, this LED will blink slowly. To stop the LED from blinking after a
redundancy event, the KVM must be powered off and back on.
