Glossary

The following words are used throughout this documentation:
• ARI Port - ARI stands for "analog rack interface". The ARI Port is used to connect
computers and KVM switches to KVM series2 and series3 KVM switches via a
KVM-IA adapter.
• cascade or tier (these terms are used interchangeably) - connection between
multiple KVM appliances that allows full keyboard and mouse input control and
target device management from a single KVM appliance
For example, the tiering of an analog KVM appliance under a digital KVM appliance
will allow keyboard and mouse input control to all target devices attached to that
analog KVM appliance via the KVM s3 Client interface. This can either be
connected through a cascade switch or an ACI port connection.
• KVM-IA (Keyboard/Video/Mouse-Interface Adapter) - provides additional
functionality such as KVM or virtual media sessions when attached to the appliance
and a target device.
• KVM s2-0411 and KVM s3-1621 appliances - equipment that provides KVM-over-
IP connectivity to attached target devices. The term appliance is used in this
manual to refer to a KVM switch managed by the KVM s3 Client.
• local user - person with access to the keyboard, monitor, and mouse directly
connected to the appliance. This user has full access to all target devices.
• remote user - an account in the local appliance user database or on a centralized
Active Directory server. This account is used to provide management access to an
appliance and its attached devices.
• switch - equipment that provides KVM-over-IP connectivity to attached
target devices. The term appliance is used in this manual to refer to a KVM switch
managed by the KVM s3 Client.
• switching system - a set of appliances and attached target devices and KVM-IAs
