Hardware
Ethernet
* One 10/100BaseT connection
* Standard RJ-45 connector
* LEDs for link, 10/100 indicator, and network activity
VGA Input
* Max resolution 1280 x 1024 at 75Hz
* Supports all VESA graphics modes and text modes
* DDC2B compatible
VGA Local Output
* Copy of input video with OSD (On-Screen Display) for
setup
* Optional use, when no screen is present locally
PS/2 Keyboard / Mouse
* Emulates standard PS/2 keyboard and PS/2 mouse
* Connects directly to server
* Keep-alive feature means server is not affected by power
failure on the Kaveman ( it keeps emulating the mouse/keyboard
even if the main power to Kaveman is removed )
Local PS/2 Keyboard / Mouse
* Allows local access to the controlled server
* Can be disabled or password protected to limit access
* Used for initial setup of network address, subnet mask,
etc.
* Optional once system is deployed
* May be connected/removed without affecting the controlled
server
Serial Port 1 (RS-232)
* Standard baud rates up to 115,200 bps
* Can be used for multiple functions:
Telnet access (console server mode) - Handy
if connected to serial port of Unix machines
Watchdog mode - With appropriate server software, the Kaveman
will function as an external watchdog which will kill the
power to reset failed software/hardware
Power control - When connected to a Kaveman Power control
strip, the serial port may be used to control the power
to multiple computers
Log monitor - Watches for regular expression string sent
from the computer to indicate trouble
Serial Port 2 (RS - 232)
* Can be directly connected to a Kaveman Power control
strip
* Same features as Serial Port 1
* May be used as second serial port with optional adapter
cable
Reset
* Hardware reset button
Power
* 100-240 VAC @ 50/60 Hz, auto -sensing
* Buit - in industrial power supply with detachable standard
IEC 320 connector power cord
Mechanical
* 1/3rd of a rack unit wide. An optional shelf may be
used to rack mount three units in 1RU of space.
* Each unit is a fully independent system
* Dimensions: 5.7"W x 1.75" H (1U) x 16"
D
* Aluminum sheet metal construction, painted
Internals
* Contains hardware random number generator
* Flash-memory based firmware may be field-upgraded over
the web interface
* Dedicated 32-bit micro-processor
Software
Network Protocols
* HTTP/1.1 and HTTPS (secure) web server used for control
and setup
* VNC server (implements RFB 3.3 protocol with Hextile
encoding)
* Requires one dedicated IP address
* TCP/IP port numbers for all services may be changed
to confuse attackers
* SMTP is used to deliver email notifications
* Does not require a DNS server (Domain Name Server) so
that it will continue to operate in the face of this network
failure
System Software
* Specialized RTOS (Real Time OS)
* Proprietary software, with published open-standard based
interfaces
System Requirements
* Web browser - In order for the Kaveman to function correctly
and encrypt keyboard and mouse data, users must have a
Java environment that runs SSL. We recommend using Internet
Explorer 6+ with the java plug-in JRE 1.4.1. Some other
combinations of Netscape or Internet Explorer and the
above-mentioned Java plug-in might work, but other versions
have not been tested, so we take no responsibility for
the outcome. Internet Explorer 5+ works without the plug-in,
but does not support encrypted mouse and keyboard events,
and will not support the new Java applet
* Optional VNC viewer - supports version 3.3 of RFB protocol.
The VNC implementation must use bgr233 pixel format.
* An SMTP server is required for email notification feature
* Telnet client required for serial port terminal server
access
Public Keys / Encryption
* Supports X.509 certificates
* True hardware RNG (random number generator) used to
create session keys and seed values
* 128-bit or 56-bit encryption for SSL v2
* Supports RC4 and DES algorithms
* Compatible with both import and export browsers
Special Features
* Up to 32 unique password/users
* Stealth mode -prevents port scans and other network
probes
* Turtle mode - disables self when attacked; requires
access to local console to re-enable
* Idle timeout causes logout
* Multiple users can connect to same system
* Compatible with most existing KVMs
* Aluminum sheet metal construction, painted
* Operating Environment 10°to 40° degrees C
* Storage Temperature -20°to 60° degrees C
