What devices can GL.iNet KVM control? Do I need to install any software?

GL.iNet KVM can be used to control any device that uses HDMI output and USB input, such as laptops, desktops, Raspberry Pi, mini hosts, etc.

No software is required to be installed on the controlled device.

As to the controlling device, whether a software needs to be installed on it depends on the way you want to access the KVM and controlled device.

Local Access

If you want to access the controlled device in the same local area network (LAN), simply open a browser on the controlling device, enter glkvm.local or the KVM's IP in the address bar, and you can access the KVM locally, thus accessing the controlled device. No software needs to be installed on the controlling device.

Remote Access

  • Cloud Service

    This method is ideal for those who cannot or do not want to install the GLKVM app.

    Bind your KVM to your Cloud account, then you can remotely access your KVM by typing glkvm.com into a web browser on your controlling device, thus accessing the controlled device, without installing the GLKVM app.
