Hook up ethernet, if its not POE, you plug it in, attach all the various usb cables, vga, serial, ps/2, ect ect to the server and let it hang. When your server is unresponsive just go ahead and hit the IP you assigned to your Spider, and you get a full console, virtual media, mass storage emulation, and the ability to mount samba shares and what not into it.
How exactly would that work?
I'm still not clear on this solution. Assuming you are actually doing this, could you tell me how you set it up in a little more detail, please.
You hook up device to the PC, and both to internet, device with public IP, best if it is static, or with dynamic domain.
I'm not sure how I would connect both Spider and PC to the internet. If I had to purchase a second IP address, and pay my ISP for a second line, with the cost of the Spider this would be getting quite expensive. Maybe I have misunderstood something, as I am no network guru.
You said your server is not directly on the internet, so I guess you have some sort of the router/firewall. On the router, direct (DNAT) needed ports to KVM and the rest to the Server.
