- 1 Local Keyboard, Video, Mouse,
output access
Hardware
Ethernet
- One 10/100BaseT connection
- Standard RJ-45 connector
- LEDs for link, 10/100 indicator, and
network activity
- DDC2B compatible
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
3-button 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 Ports 1 and 2 (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 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 3 (RS-232)
- Same features as Serial
Port 1
- Can be directly connected to
a Kavmen power control strip
- May be used as second serial
port with optional adapter cable
Out-of-band dial-up access through
external serial modem
- Supports standard Hayes compatible
modems
Reset

to 60°
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 requirement
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
