Remote Access to Computer Resources over IP Network
Extending the reach of the computer
Many companies would like to extend and expand the reach and use of computers in the 
workplace. The challenges presented to the desktop administrator in this environment are very 
different than those encountered in a typical desktop/offi ce environment. 
The challenges/problems include:
• Local environment of the computer may not be suitable for a person because of noise, 
heat, chemical or dust pollution; electromagnetic fi elds; or excessive vibration
• Operator needs to operate several machines or production lines from one central location
• Noise and heat of the computer may not be desirable in the vicinity of the working location
• Administrator needs to provide redundancy to control computers and prevent downtime of 
the production line
• Avoiding budget overruns by setting a maximum threshold of power usage
• Working conditions can be impacted by the proximity of a computer (i.e., test labs, sterile 
lab environments, etc.)
All of these problems can be solved by moving the computer and/or user and employing the 
Avocent HMX over IP extender system solution.
Increased Productivity 
and Effi ciency
Reliability and Service:
 In the event of 
a fault, users can be “remapped” to an 
alternate computer, thus reducing their 
downtime and improving the service 
provided by the desktop administrator.
Increased Productivity:
 Remapping the 
user to another computer enables the 
desktop administrator to conduct fault 
analysis and repairs “offl ine”, ensuring there is 
no impact on the productivity of the user.
Access:
 Placing the computers in a central 
location simplifi es the desktop administrator’s 
task of gaining access to the computers.
Ease of Migration:
 Desktop administrators 
can easily install and deploy new computing 
resources. Migrating users is achieved 
without impacting productivity, ensuring 
users gain access to the latest versions of 
computing power without disruption.
Improved Virus Control:
 The computers 
are now situated remotely from the user, 
so the introduction of virus-infected fi les 
is more diffi cult and, through the use of 
appropriate software policies, can be 
eliminated completely.
HMX Manager
The HMX Manager provides administration 
and connection management for Avocent HMX 
system components along with a rich suite 
of access profi les and internal authentication 
options. The HMX Manager is delivered as a 
hardened appliance with secure browser-based 
access. The HMX Manager can be connected 
to two simultaneous networks, allowing one 
network to be used for deployment of the HMX 
system and the other network to be used by the 
desktop administrator to monitor, manage and 
control the HMX system.
HMX User Stations
Users can connect to a comprehensive range 
of peripherals using a number of different HMX 
user stations. User station selection depends on 
the type and number of displays to be supported 
and the video to be shown on these displays. The 
HMX user station has an Ethernet connection to 
allow for connection to the TCP/IP network and to 
communicate across the network to a Computer Interface Module. All information and data 
received from the Computer Interface Module is encrypted to 128-bit AES SSL.
HMXIQ Modules/Transmitters
Target computers can be connected to the 
TCP/IP Area Network using a number of different 
HMX IQ modules (also called transmitters). HMX 
IQ module/transmitter selection depends on type 
and number of displays to be supported and the 
video that is generated by the computer. All HMX 
IQ modules/transmitters are hardware based 
and require no software or drivers to be loaded onto the target computer. All HMX 
IQ modules/transmitters are OS independent, enabling the solution to function with 
Windows®, Mac®, Linux or Sun® computers.
