Appendix 7 - The KVMADMIN utility
Particularly useful for complex Digital iPEPS configurations and the c\
ontrol of 
remote installations, KVMADMIN is a powerful administration tool.
KVMADMIN is based upon the established VNC viewer and uses the same 
security system. Rather than a graphical interface such as the standard \
viewer, 
KVMADMIN uses command line control to provide the following administrati\
on 
facilities:
•	 Discover	and	adjust	the	Digital	iPEPS	configuration,	including	host	systems,
•	 Save	and	restore	the	Digital	iPEPS	configuration,
•	 Set	user	names	and	passwords,
•	 Download	the	event	log,
The use of KVMADMIN is strictly limited to the ‘admin’ user and fo\
r security 
purposes it is not possible to retrieve user names or passwords from the\
 Digital 
iPEPS.
To use KVMADMIN you require the IP address and admin password of the 
Digital iPEPS unit. The command line is as follows:
kvmadmin   []
where  is one of the following:
•	 -setconfig	
•	 -getconfig	
•	 -setusers	
•	 -getlog	
•	 -gethosts	
•	 -sethosts	
•	 -setmodes		
For instance, the command line:
kvmadmin -getconfig kvm1.cfg 192.168.2.1
... downloads the current configuration from the Digital iPEPS unit at\
 the given 
address and stores it in the local file kvm1.cfg.
Whereas the command line:
kvmadmin -setusers users.csv 192.168.2.1
... configures the usernames and passwords for the same unit from the \
local file 
users.csv. 
For more information about KVMADMIN, please refer to the user notes supp\
lied 
with the utility.

Appendix 10 – Hotkey sequences and Adder Port Direct
Digital iPEPS allows you to enter commands suitable for any KVM switch i\
n order 
to choose from up to 128 host systems. These switching commands can take\
 the 
form of hotkey sequences that emulate standard keypress combinations or,\
 for KVM 
switches that support the Adder Port Direct format, merely basic port numbers.   
Hotkey sequences
Almost any combination of keypresses can be emulated using the following\
 
notations:
+ means press down the key that follows;
–    means release the key that follows
+– means press and then release the key that follows 
*    means add a delay. The standard delay period is 250ms, however, if a 
number immediately follows the asterisk, this will define an alternate\
 delay 
period (in milliseconds)
Notes
•	The entries are not case sensitive. 
•	 All	characters	can	be	entered	using	their	ASCII	codes,	from	32	to	126	(i.e.	
A,B,C, … 1,2,3 etc.) with the exception of the special characters ab\
ove.
•	 It	is	not	necessary	to	specify	all	keys	to	be	released	at	the	end	because	they	
are all released automatically after the last code.
•	 A	number	of	KVM	switches	from	alternative	manufacturers	use	hot	key	
sequences that begin with a press/release of either the Scroll Lock or C\
trl 
keys. These often require a delay between the initial key press and the \
channel number to allow the switch to respond. A 500ms delay is usually \
sufficient.
Examples 
To send the command Ctrl + Alt 4 you should use the following: +Ctrl+Alt+4. 
To send the command Ctrl + Alt 12 you should use the following: 
+Ctrl+ALT+–1+2  
(the ‘+–1’ entry causes the 1 key to be pressed and released b\
efore the 2 key is 
pressed).
To send the command Scroll lock 1 + Enter (with a 500ms delay) you should use 
the following:  +–Scr*500+1+Ent  
Main control keys (see ‘Using abbreviations’)
Backspace | Tab | Return | Enter | Ctrl | Alt | Win | Shift | LShift | RShift  
LCtrl | RCtrl | LAlt | AltGr | RAlt | LWin | RWin | Menu | Escape | Space 
CapsLock | NumLock | PrintScreen | Scrolllock
Math operand keys (see ‘Using abbreviations’)
Add (Plus) | Subtract (Minus) | Multiply
Central control keys (see ‘Using abbreviations’)
Insert | Delete | Home | End | PageUp | PageDown
Up | Down | Left | Right | Print | Pause
Keypad keys (see ‘Using abbreviations’)
KP_Insert | KP_Delete | KP_Home | KP_End | KP_PageUp 
KP_PageDown | KP_Up | KP_Down | KP_Left | KP_Right | KP_Enter
KP_Add | KP_Subtract | KP_Divide | KP_Multiply 
KP_0 to KP_9
Function keys
F1 | F2 | F3 | F4 | F5 | F6 | F7 | F8 | F9 | F10 | F11 | F12
Creating macro sequences
Hot key macro sequences can be up to 256 characters long. All keys are 
assumed to be released at the end of a line, however, you can also deter\
mine 
that a key is pressed and released within a sequence. Any of the followi\
ng three 
examples will send a command that emulates and a press and release of th\
e 
Scroll Lock key: 
+SCROLL-SCROLL 
+-SCROLL 
+SCROLL-
Example:
+-SCROLL+-SCROLL+1+ENTER
Press and release scroll twice, press 1 then enter then release all keys\
 (equivalent 
definition is +SCROLL-SCROLL+SCROLL-SCROLL+1+ENTER-1-ENTER)
Using abbreviations
To reduce the length of the key definitions, any unique abbreviation f\
or a 
key can be used. For example: “scroll”, “scr” and even “s\
c” all provide an 
identifiable match for “ScrollLock” whereas “en” could not\
 be used because it 
might mean “Enter” or “End” (“ent” would be suitable \
for “Enter”). 
Note: Hotkey sequences and abbreviations are not case sensitive. 
For information about where to enter these codes, please see the section\
s Host 
configuration or Keyboard control.

Adder Port Direct
Adder Port Direct is totally transparent communication system that allow\
s 
supporting KVM switches and remote access devices to communicate with ea\
ch 
other. Using the keyboard connections that link each device, Adder Port \
Direct 
allows: 
•	 A	controlling	device	to	provide	address	details	of	the	required	port,	
the user’s name and access rights, mouse calibration and video mode 
information.
•	 A	controlled	device	to	confirm	the	address	and	other	details	of	the	current	port.
Such communication simplifies both the configuration and selection o\
f systems, 
especially within a complex cascade structure. Adder Port Direct provide\
s 
excellent security control to prevent users from accessing systems for w\
hich they 
do not access rights (‘sideways movement’) because each unit is \
fully informed 
of each user’s precise access rights.
Port/host addressing using Adder Port Direct
When adding new computers to the Hosts list, the option ‘Add entry for 
unrecognised host’ is provided to automatically add new entries if a port is 
visited that does not already have a matching host entry. This is a usef\
ul option 
for simple KVM switch configurations, but should be used with care whe\
n 
complex cascades of switches are being used as it may lead to more host \
entries 
being added than are strictly necessary. 
Additionally, you can specify the port number of the required system usi\
ng 
the same format as if controlling the KVM switch directly. Port numbers \
MUST 
be entered within square brackets and can be specified to a maximum of\
 four 
cascaded levels.  
Examples 
[16]   selects port 16 and is equivalent to the hotkey sequence 
+CTRL+ALT+–1+6
[4105] selects port 5 on a KVM switch that is cascaded through port group 41
