5.6.4 Non-Browser Clients

The CD that comes with the product includes Windows and Java Client applications that allow you to remotely access the KVM without using a web browser. The applications function the same, but the Windows Client is designed for Windows computers, whereas the Java client

is designed for either Windows or non-Windows computers. When accessed from a computer that is on the same network as the KVM, the client will search the network for the device and display it in a device list for you to access. If accessed from a computer that is not on the same network as the KVM, you must obtain the IP address from your network administrator and manually enter it into the client. (See the Browser section above for information on obtaining the IP address) To use the Windows or Java client to assign a fixed IP address, follow the steps below.

1.Save the Windows or Java client from the CD to a desired location on your computer. Double-click the file to open it.

2.When accessing the Windows Client for the first time, it will need to be installed on your computer. Follow the installation prompts that appear. Once installed, a Windows Client icon will appear on your desktop.

3.When accessing either the Windows or the Java client for the first time, you will be prompted to enter the product serial number, which can be found on the CD that came with the unit. Once entered, you will not be prompted for it again. The non-browser client connection screen appears.

5.By default, the Obtain IP address automatically [DHCP] checkbox is checked. To set a fixed IP address, check the Set IP address manually [Fixed IP] check box in the IPv4 or IPv6 settings section, depending on your network.

6.The IP Address, Subnet Mask and Default Gateway fields will

be activated upon checking the Set IP address manually [Fixed IP] checkbox. Fill in these fields with information appropriate for your network.

7.As with the IP Address settings, the DNS Server settings can be obtained automatically or assigned manually. To manually enter these settings, check the Set DNS server address manually checkbox and fill in the Preferred DNS server and Alternate DNS server fields with information appropriate for your network. Note: The Alternate

DNS server field is optional.

8.When you have entered the IP Address and DNS Server settings, click the Apply button. Clicking the Apply button will automatically check the Reset on exit checkbox located in the Customization page of the Web Management Interface. When you log out, the unit will be reset and your network changes will be applied.

See the Network Settings section in the Owner’s Manual for complete information on the rest of the settings in this page.

4.If you are on the same network as the KVM, the client will locate it and display it in the Device List. In this case, highlight the unit in the Device List and click the Login button. If you are not on the same network as the unit, it will not be displayed in the list. You must manually enter the IP address in the IP Address field, and then click the Login button.

5.Upon clicking the Login button, you will be prompted to enter in a Username and Password. Enter the default User Name (administrator), and the default Password (password). The Logout button, and the Remote View and Change Password buttons on the right of the non-browser client main page will be activated. The
