Hello everyone!
Can I use PiKVM, if my target computer blocks all types of devices but a mouse and keyboard (they allow to use USB mouse and keyboard)?
OS: Linux. My employer blocks all types of connection and I can use my USB a mouse and keyboard only!
Hi,
You can use pikvm, but you cannot control the power on and off, the power on and off is determined by ATX control.
Refer to wiki: PiKVM-A3 - Geekworm Wiki

1) You want to say that KVM gives the signal like it is just a mouse and keyboard? Can this device disguise itself as a keyboard and mouse?
2) But why I can't control the power supply? I know that I can't use power control by USB or ethernet in my case, but I can connect ATX contactors to the motherboard. And if my computer will switch on by smart socket, I will switch on my target PC by the appearance of power in the socket (it is possible to set it in bios).
As for turning my PC, I can connect those KVM ATX contactors to my motherboard (as I explained below).
3) If my target PC will be sleeping (due to certain settings by our employee), can I wake the target PC somehow? (I can't switch off this setting "to sleep" and I can't use USB or ethernet for it)

P.S.: Thanks a lot, guys, that you are keeping the answer. Its very important for me now!
I made the mistake:
As for turning OFF my PC, I can connect those KVM ATX contactors ....
