Description
本發明係與遠端管理有關,特別是關於一種遠端管理系統(remote management system)、多電腦切換器(Keyboard-Video-Mouse switch,KVM switch)及遠端管理方法。The present invention relates to remote management, and in particular to a remote management system, a keyboard-Video-Mouse switch (KVM switch), and a remote management method.
多電腦切換器(Keyboard-Video-Mouse Switch;KVM Switch)係連接於一用戶端中控裝置與多台被控電腦之間,使得使用者可以僅透過一中控裝置來控制多台的被控電腦。此中控裝置通常係由一組鍵盤、螢幕及滑鼠所組成。A keyboard-Video-Mouse Switch (KVM Switch) is connected between a central control device and a plurality of controlled computers, so that the user can control multiple controlled devices through only one central control device. computer. This central control unit usually consists of a set of keyboards, screens and mice.
所謂的網路型多電腦切換器(Over-IP KVM)係一種具有網路介面之多電腦切換器,其經由網路將用戶端電腦耦接至一台或多台被控電腦,使得用戶端電腦之使用者可以透過網路來控制一台或多台的被控電腦。The so-called Over-IP KVM is a multi-computer switch with a network interface, which couples the client computer to one or more controlled computers via the network, so that the user terminal Users of computers can control one or more controlled computers through the network.
在習知技術中,管理或控制多電腦切換器之方式包含(1)使用面板按鍵(2)使用熱鍵指令(hotkey command)及(3)使用螢幕顯示選單(OSD)。其中熱鍵指令及螢幕顯示選單可供使用者由中控裝置或遠端對多電腦切換器進行管理或控制。例如以某一熱鍵指令控制多電腦切換器進行切換連接埠之動作;或是以點選螢幕顯示選單之某一選項來對多電腦切換器進行設定。其中熱鍵指令係指鍵盤上多個按鍵之組合,例如在二秒內連續敲擊Scroll Lock鍵兩次再按壓某一數字鍵可以控制多電腦切換 器進行連接埠的切換(切換至對應於該數字之被控電腦)。In the prior art, the way to manage or control the KVM switch includes (1) using the panel buttons (2) using the hotkey command (hotkey command) and (3) using the on-screen display menu (OSD). The hotkey command and the on-screen display menu can be used by the user to manage or control the central control device or the remote to the KVM switch. For example, the switch of the KVM switch is controlled by a hotkey command; or the KVM switch is set by clicking an option of the on-screen display menu. The hotkey command refers to a combination of multiple keys on the keyboard. For example, if you repeatedly hit the Scroll Lock key twice in two seconds and then press a number key to control multi-computer switching. Switch the port (switch to the controlled computer corresponding to the number).
在前述方法中,無論面板按鍵、熱鍵指令或螢幕顯示選單都是預設(pre-defined)的指令,其缺點在於其指令或是選項係由製造商在出廠前所定義(manufactured-defined),使用者在購回後無法依其自身的需求增加或修改指令及選項,故缺乏彈性。雖然現有多電腦切換器已可透過韌體升級(Firmware Upgrade)來新增某些功能,但這些新增的功能仍是由製造商所提供的,且在進行韌體升級時多電腦切換器並無法使用,如此對於使用者而言仍有侷限性且會造成使用上的不便。In the foregoing method, whether the panel button, hotkey command or screen display menu is a pre-defined command, the disadvantage is that the command or option is defined by the manufacturer at the factory (manufactured-defined). Users cannot add or modify instructions and options according to their own needs after purchase, so they lack flexibility. Although the existing KVM switch has been able to add some features through the Firmware Upgrade, these new features are still provided by the manufacturer, and the KVM switch is used for firmware upgrades. Unusable, so there are limitations for the user and can cause inconvenience in use.
現有之多電腦切換器有些已經具備可錄製鍵盤/滑鼠指令之功能,可先由使用者輸入某些鍵盤/滑鼠指令至多電腦切換器,經多電腦切換器錄製後,便可再由使用者以手動操作進行播放,以使多電腦切換器所連接之被控電腦執行該鍵盤/滑鼠指令所對應之功能。但此鍵盤/滑鼠指令錄製功能需由使用者啟動,其並無法在特定時間自動或是重複地執行。Some of the existing multi-computer switchers already have the function of recording keyboard/mouse commands. The user can input some keyboard/mouse commands to the KVM switch. After recording by the KVM switch, they can be used again. The player performs the manual operation to enable the controlled computer connected to the KVM switch to perform the function corresponding to the keyboard/mouse command. However, this keyboard/mouse command recording function needs to be activated by the user, and it cannot be executed automatically or repeatedly at a specific time.
另外,在多電腦切換器上市前之開發階段,工程測試人員需對多電腦切換器之各項功能進行驗證及除錯(debug)以找出硬體、軟體或韌體設計上之錯誤。例如輸入某組非預設的熱鍵指令或是以某種特定方式輸入某組熱鍵指令後可能會造成多電腦切換器之當機。但目前並無法有效地重製某些會造成錯誤之操作方式,所以在甲地之測試人員所發現之錯誤無法由乙地之測試人員重製,以供其實際體驗後予以提供意見或協助。In addition, in the development stage before the KVM switch is released, engineering testers need to verify and debug the functions of the KVM switch to find errors in hardware, software or firmware design. For example, entering a group of non-preset hotkey commands or entering a certain set of hotkey commands in a certain way may cause the KVM switch to crash. However, at present, it is not possible to effectively reproduce certain operating modes that cause errors. Therefore, the errors found by the testers in the territory cannot be re-created by the testers of the B-zone for their comments or assistance after the actual experience.
因此,本發明之一範疇在於提出一種遠端管理系統、多電腦切換器及遠端管理方法,以解決先前技術所遭遇到之上述種種問題。Therefore, one aspect of the present invention is to provide a remote management system, a KVM switch, and a remote management method to solve the above problems encountered in the prior art.
