9. Accessing the system as a User

Once the Administrator has set up and configured the KVM.net system, Users can access the system.

For a User to access the system:

Type the system’s IP address (obtained in section 2.2) into a Web browser and press Enter. The Login box appears.

Type the Username and Password and press Enter. The window only displays Targets and Target Sets that the User has permission to access. See Figure 46.

KVM.net system supports multi-user login. There is no specified limit as to the amount of concurrent users.
