With our IP-Control-API<\/a>, we offer an interface that allows you to control and switch your KVM systems remotely, for example via touch panels. However, the programming required for this API can sometimes be a bit challenging. To make it easier to get started, we have therefore developed the G&D RemoteGUI. This tool allows you to use the interface directly, even without complex programming.<\/p>\n

How does the G&D RemoteGUI work?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The IP Control API sends text-based commands in the form of XML documents over network interfaces to your KVM system, which then executes the commands. The G&D RemoteGUI eliminates the need to work with XML documents. The tool graphically displays all the XML commands you can use to operate your system. In addition to a KVM matrix<\/a> (classic or IP), the G&D RemoteGUI also works with the KVM switches DL-MUX<\/a>, DP1.2-MUX-NT<\/a> and DP1.2-MUX3-ATC<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Switching between CON and CPU modules<\/strong><\/h3>\n

G&D RemoteGUI: Easy switching between modules via drag and drop<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The G&D RemoteGUI provides an overview of all CON and CPU modules connected to the system. The\u00a0console overview not only lists all consoles, but also shows to which CPU module they are currently connected. If you want to switch a specific CON to a specific CPU module, simply drag and drop the CON module onto the corresponding CPU module.<\/p>\n

For a better overview, especially in large installations, it is often helpful to see only certain console and computer modules. This can be done using the Filter option. For example, you can get an immediate overview of all modules that are currently offline.<\/p>\n

Additional options provided by the G&D RemoteGUI<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Right-clicking a console module also allows you to display a list of connections, send a message to the user, close the OSD, log the user in or out, or hide the module. Similar options are available for the computer modules.<\/p>\n

Global matrix commands<\/strong><\/h3>\n

If you want to execute actions that should apply to all CON or CPU modules within the system, you can use global matrix commands to:<\/p>\n
