> Frequently asked questions about JetKVM.

### What's the difference between JetKVM and JetKVM Mini?

Both give you the screen, keyboard and mouse of a computer in your browser. Each device page lists what that model has.

* [JetKVM](https://jetkvm.com/docs/devices/jetkvm)
* [JetKVM Mini](https://jetkvm.com/docs/devices/jetkvm-mini)

### How do I power the device?

* [Power JetKVM](https://jetkvm.com/docs/devices/jetkvm#power)
* [Power JetKVM Mini](https://jetkvm.com/docs/devices/jetkvm-mini#power)

### Is there a PoE version?

**Yes.** The JetKVM PoE is powered by its Ethernet cable.

### I forgot my password. How do I get back in?

How you reset it depends on the model.

* [Forgot your password](https://jetkvm.com/docs/using-jetkvm/password#reset-password)

### Can I use the device without the cloud?

**Yes.** JetKVM is made to be used on your local network, and remote access through [JetKVM Cloud](https://jetkvm.com/docs/networking/jetkvm-cloud) is opt-in. Open the IP address shown on the display in your browser.

To reach it from elsewhere without the cloud, use your own VPN, such as Tailscale.

* [Tailscale](https://jetkvm.com/docs/networking/tailscale)

### Can I self-host the cloud?

**Yes.** The cloud is open source.

* [Host your own cloud](https://jetkvm.com/docs/networking/jetkvm-cloud#host-your-own-cloud)

### Does it come with Tailscale?

**JetKVM Mini** has Tailscale built in, under Settings > Tailscale. **JetKVM** doesn't come with it, but Tailscale supports JetKVM out of the box: one script installs it.

* [Set up Tailscale](https://jetkvm.com/docs/networking/tailscale)

### Does it work with my computer, OS or server?

Almost certainly. JetKVM doesn't talk to the operating system: it reads the HDMI output and acts as a USB keyboard and mouse. Anything with HDMI out and USB works, from the BIOS onwards, with no drivers or software to install.

### Does it work with KVM switches?

KVM switches haven't been tested yet, but there's no known reason they wouldn't work.

### Does the interface work on mobile?

**Yes.** The interface works in mobile browsers, and the built-in virtual keyboard lets you type on the computer from your phone.

### Is the interface available in other languages?

**Yes.** Change it in Settings > General > Interface Language. It comes in English, Chinese (Simplified and Traditional), Danish, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Norwegian, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish, Swedish, Turkish and Welsh.

### Can JetKVM control power to the computer?

Yes, in a few ways:

* [Wake on LAN: Wakes a computer on the same network. It has to be turned on in the BIOS.](https://jetkvm.com/docs/using-jetkvm/wake-on-lan)
* [ATX Power Control: Presses a PC's power and reset buttons.](https://jetkvm.com/docs/extensions/atx-power-control)
* [DC Power Control: Switches the power of mini PCs and other DC-powered devices.](https://jetkvm.com/docs/extensions/dc-power-control)

The extensions work with JetKVM. Support for JetKVM Mini is coming in a later release.
