IHSE Draco Tera

The IHSE Draco Tera matrix is a KVM system that allows connections to be established from consoles (CON devices) to various sources (CPU devices).

This connector uses a serial connection to retrieve the connection state of the matrix. It also retrieves lists of CPU devices, CON devices, and users, which it displays in the corresponding tables.
