How can I remotely control my Compaq KVM switch 2X8

Asked by DLPBA in Miscellaneous Hardware, Remote Desktop/Terminal Services

Tags: set, switch

Once a month we have a need to remotely reboot our servers.  The reboot works fine but we can't reconnect via terminal services until the administrator logs in, which requires someone to be there.

I have a Compaq KVM switch, model 400338-001, the  2 X 8 configuration.  This allows two keyboards and mice to control multiple kvm switches.  We are only using one of the ports to control the KVM.  If we could connect a remote control device to the 2nd set of kvm ports, our problem would be solved.   Anyone have experience with this.

Note: I have used Compaq's RIM (remote insight manager boards) in the past and would like to avoid the complication and expense of getting boards for each of our 8 servers.
