A keyboard, video monitor and mouse (KVM) Universal Serial Bus (USB)
Internet protocol (IP) server interface pod (SIP) allows access to
selected ones of a plurality of servers by a remotely located keyboard,
video monitor and mouse. In addition, remote mounting of a USB device to
the selected server is also possible. A digital KVM USB switch may be
used for routing the remotely located keyboard, video monitor, mouse and
USB device to the KVM USB IP SIP. The digital KVM USB switch also is
coupled to a KVM USB IP interface. The KVM USB IP interface is located
with and connected to the remotely located keyboard, video monitor, mouse
and USB device. The KVM USB IP interface may be coupled to the digital
KVM USB switch over a local area network (LAN), wide area network (WAN),
or Internet.
