How to Use JetKVM
1. Power Supply Options
JetKVM supports multiple power supply methods. Choose the option that best fits your setup.
USB-A Power (Included Cable)
Power JetKVM directly from the controlled computer's USB-A port using the included USB-A to USB-C cable. The simplest setup — just plug it in.
DC Power Control Extension
Connect via the expansion port using the provided RJ12 cable for eMMC version or 5 Pin Cable for the latest full-HDMI version. Enables remote power cycling of DC-powered devices like mini PCs and NAS units.
Y Cable (Power & Data Splitter)
Use a standard 5V power adapter through the USB-C power input. The Y cable splits power and data for independent power delivery.
PoE (Power over Ethernet) — PoE Version
Available exclusively on the PoE version (MSRP $119). Power and network delivered through a single Ethernet cable (802.3af compliant). One cable for both — ideal for racks and homelabs with PoE switches.
2. How to Use JetKVM Cloud Access
JetKVM Cloud allows you to securely access your device from anywhere on the internet. All communication uses WebRTC with end-to-end encryption via DTLS and SRTP, and a Zero Trust security model ensures only authorized users gain access.
Open your browser and go to the local IP address shown on your JetKVM device screen.
Click Settings in the action bar, scroll down and click Enable Remote Access.
Log in with your Google account (OIDC provider). The device itself verifies the authentication request.
You'll be redirected to the JetKVM cloud dashboard. Manage your device securely from any browser, anywhere.
3. How to Update to the Latest Firmware
Keeping firmware updated ensures optimal performance, latest features, and security patches. Recent releases added H.265 codec with auto-negotiation, MQTT and Home Assistant integration, factory reset with signed release verification, and more. Firmware is actively developed on GitHub.
Open the JetKVM web management interface.
Go to General > Check for Update.
Click "Check for Updates."
Confirm and wait for restart. Do not disconnect power.
4. How to Install Tailscale
Tailscale provides a secure zero-config VPN mesh over WireGuard for remote access without port forwarding. Tailscale has added out-of-the-box support for JetKVM, making installation simple.
First, add your SSH public key to JetKVM through the web interface (Settings > SSH Keys).
From your local computer, run:curl -fsSL https://jetkvm.com/install-tailscale.sh | sh -s -- <jetkvm_ip>
Follow the URL printed by the script to authenticate with your Tailscale account in your browser.
JetKVM is now on your Tailscale mesh network. Connect using its Tailscale IP (100.x.x.x) from any device.
curl -fsSL https://jetkvm.com/install-tailscale.sh | sh -s -- <ip> -- --login-server=https://headscale.example.com
5. How to Update Tailscale
To update Tailscale, simply re-run the same install script from your local computer:
curl -fsSL https://jetkvm.com/install-tailscale.sh | sh -s -- <jetkvm_ip>
This will update Tailscale to the latest version on your JetKVM device. No SSH access needed.
