First Time Setup

Once the B064-Series KVM Switch has been installed, the Super Administrator needs to set the unit up for user operation. This involves setting the network parameters and adding users.

Network Setup - IP Address Determination

If you are an administrator logging in for the first time, you need to access the B064-Series KVM Switch in order to give it an IP address that users can connect to. There are four methods to choose from; Local Console, IP Installer, AP Windows Client and Browser.

Local Console

After the local console has been connected and the B064-Series KVM Switch is turned on, a login prompt appears on the console monitor:

Log in using the default Username: administrator and Password: password. For security purposes, it is strongly recommended that you change these to a unique Username and Password. (See Changing the Super Administrator Login, page 14 for details.)

After you successfully log in, the Local Console Main Screen appears:

1.Click the Device Management icon at the top of the screen.

2.On the notebook screen that appears on the right-hand side of the page select the Network tab.
