Avocent IP KVM Hacking: use SIP from any OEM on Dell 1082DS (and probably others)

Many KVM switches (local and IP) from major companies like Dell, HP or IBM are manufactured by Avocent. Those KVMs use special cables known as SIPs or RIPs to communicate with managed machines.In normal scenario only OEM and Avocent cables work on particular device, but as I discovered - at least in one case this was simple to bypass and allow any existing SIP to work.
