Parameter

Explanation

Timeout

If the B051-000 doesn’t receive any input from a computer that is accessing it with the Windows Client or Java Applet for the

 

amount of time specified here, it ends the connection. The default is 3 minutes.

 

 

Login Failure

Allowed - Sets the number of consecutive failed login attempts that are permitted from a remote computer. The default is 5.

 

Timeout - Sets the amount of time a remote computer must wait before attempting to login again after it has exceeded the

 

number of allowed failures. The default is 3 minutes.

 

 

Working Mode

Enable ICMP - If ICMP is checked, the B051-000 can be pinged, and an IP address can be assigned with the ARP command.

 

If it is not checked, the device cannot be pinged or assigned an IP address with the ARP command. ICMP is checked by

 

default.

 

Enable Device List - If this item is checked, the device will show up in the list of local B051-000 units on the AP Windows

 

Client Connection screen (see The Windows Client Connection Screen, page 11). If it is not checked, it will not show up. It is

 

checked by default.

 

Force All to Grayscale - If this item is checked, the remote display for all users is changed to grayscale. This can speed up

 

I/O transfer in low bandwidth situations. By default, this item is not checked.

 

Enable Browser – If this item is checked, users are allowed access to the B051-000 from a browser. If this function is not

 

enabled, users will not be able to log into the unit via their browser. It is checked by default.

 

Enable Multiuser – If this item is checked, multiple users can log into the B051-000 at the same time. It is checked by default.

 

 

Mouse Sync

Automatic – If this item is checked, the B051-000 will automatically sync the remote and local mouse pointers. It is

Mode

checked by default. Note: This feature only supports USB mice on Windows and Mac (G4 or higher) systems. For all other

 

configurations, we recommend that you select Manual.

 

Manual – If this item is checked, all mouse synching must be done manually with the Windows Client and Java Applet

 

synching procedures. (See Auto-Syncon pages 30 and 36 for details.) By default, this item is not checked.

 

Note: Sun systems must use the Manual setting.

 

 

USB IO Settings

OS - When connecting to a computer or KVM switch with the USB connector for keyboard and mouse, drop down the list to

 

select the platform it uses. Choices are PC, Mac1, Mac2, and Sun. PC is the default OS.

 

Note: In general, Mac 1 works best with older Mac OS versions, whereas Mac 2 works best with newer ones. This may vary,

 

however. If you encounter problems with one setting, try selecting the other one.

 

Language - When connecting to a computer or KVM switch with the USB connector for keyboard and mouse, drop down the

 

list to select the keyboard language it uses. English is the default language.

 

 

Reset

Some configuration changes only take effect after a B051-000 reset. These include changes on the Network page, a

 

Log Server port change, enabling/disabling browser access and upgrading the firmware. For those changes, a check is

 

automatically put in the Reset on Exit box. To have the changes take effect, log out and then log back in again. A wait of

 

approximately 30 to 60 seconds is necessary before logging in following the reset.

 

Note: If the B051-000’s performance degrades, reset it by putting a check in the Reset on Exit box, and then log out / log in.

 

 

Maintenance

The Maintenance page allows the Administrator to upgrade the B051- 000’s firmware and to backup and restore its configuration settings and user profile information.

3.Click the Browse button next to the Firmware File field, navigate to the new firmware file you just saved and select the file.

4.Click Upload.

5.After the upload completes, a message appears on the screen to inform you that the firmware upgrade succeeded. Click the Logout icon on the bottom left side of the web page.

6.In the screen that comes up click Yes to confirm that you want to exit and reset the B051-000. Note: You will need to wait between 30 and 60 seconds before logging back in.
