Note: If you are a remote IP user, then a separate IP login and password are required in addition to (and in advance of) the KVM details – see Logging in and out (IP section) for more details.

If the security option has been selected by your administrator then you will be asked to enter a User Name and Password when you first access a user port. When you have finished using the system, it is then good practice to logout, forcing any other users to authenticate themselves prior to use.
