2..Web Configuration Interface

6.When the SSL certificate has been installed, a prompt appears to let you know the installation was successful, and that the KVM will be rebooted. Click the OK button to exit the Web Configuration Interface and reboot the KVM.

2..4..4 Device

The Device tab in the Configuration section allows administrators to configure the KVM’s Device ID, LAN, and SNMP settings. The settings in this page are described in the following section.

Configuring the Device ID settings:

•Device Name – The Device Name field allows you to assign a name to the NetCommander IP. By default, the Device Name consists of the letter ‘D’ followed by a 6-digit device number, which is printed on the label on the underside of the KVM. If the DHCP server is published in the DNS server, you can connect to the NetCommander IP system using the device name, as follows: https://DeviceName. Simply type in the desired Device Name and click the Save icon at the top of the page. Upon clicking Save, you will be prompted to reboot the KVM to finish implementation of the new Device settings. Click Yes to proceed.

•TCP Port – The TCP Port refers to the port that the KVM’s session data is sent through and received. This field allows you to select a port which the firewall or router security access list must enable inbound traffic through for the KVM’s IP address. For client computer access from a secured LAN, the selected port should be open for communication. You can select any port from 800 to 65535. The default TCP port is 900, and the default https port is 443. Simply type in the desired TCP Port and click the Save icon at the top of the page. Upon clicking Save, you will be prompted to reboot the KVM to finish implementation of the new Device settings. Click Yes to proceed.

Configuring the IPv4 LAN Settings

•Enable DHCP – By default, the Enable DHCP checkbox is checked, allowing for an IP address to be automatically assigned by a DHCP server. To assign a fixed IP address of your own, uncheck this checkbox.

•MAC Address – The MAC Address field displays the KVM’s MAC address, which can be used when locating the IP address assigned to the KVM by a DHCP server. The MAC address is also located on the bottom panel of the KVM switch.

•IP Address – When the Enable DHCP checkbox is unchecked, this field becomes available for editing. Enter in an IP address appropriate for your network.

•Subnet Mask – When the Enable DHCP checkbox is unchecked, this field becomes available for editing. Enter in a Subnet Mask appropriate for your network.

•Default Gateway – When the Enable DHCP checkbox is unchecked, this field becomes available for editing. Enter in a Default Gateway appropriate for your network.

•After making any changes to the KVM’s LAN settings, click on the Save button at the top of the screen to save them. Upon clicking Save, you will be prompted to reboot the KVM to finish implementation of the new Device settings. Click Yes to proceed.

Configuring the IPv6 LAN Settings

•Enable IPv6 – By default, the Enable IPv6 checkbox is checked. To disable IPv6, uncheck this checkbox.

•Mode – By default, the DHCP checkbox is checked, allowing for an IP address to be automatically assigned by a DHCP server. The Mode section also provides you the options of automatically assigning a Stateless address and manually assigning a Static address. Check the checkbox of the method you wish to use for IP address assignment.

•IPv6 Address – When the Static mode checkbox is checked, this field becomes available for editing. Enter in an IP address appropriate for your network.

•Subnet Prefix Length – When the Static mode checkbox is checked, this field becomes available for editing. Enter in a Subnet Prefix Length appropriate for your network.

•Default Gateway – When the Static mode checkbox is checked, this field becomes available for editing. Enter in a Default Gateway appropriate for your network.

•Obtain DNS Server Address Automatically – When the DHCP mode checkbox is checked, this checkbox is also checked. When the Stateless or Static mode checkboxes are checked, this checkbox is deactivated, and you must manually enter a DNS Server address.

•DNS Server – When in DHCP mode, check the checkbox next to DNS Server to manually assign its address. When the Stateless or Static mode checkboxes are checked, the Obtain DNS Server Address Automatically checkbox is deactivated, and you must manually enter a DNS Server address. Enter a DNS Server address appropriate for your network.
