Encryption

These flexible encryption alternatives for keyboard/mouse and video let you choose any combination of DES; 3DES; AES; RC4; or a Random cycle of any or all of them.

Enabling encryption affects system performance – no encryption offers the best performance; the greater the encryption the greater the adverse effect. If you enable encryption, the performance considerations are as follows:

ŠRC4 offers the least impact on performance; DES is next; then 3DES or

AES

ŠThe RC4 + DES combination offers the least impact of any combination

Working Mode

An explanation of the Working Mode items is given in the table, below:

Item

Explanation

 

 

Enable ICMP

If ICMP is enabled, the KH1508Ai / KH1516Ai can be pinged. If it is

 

not enabled, the device cannot be pinged. The default is Enabled.

 

 

Enable Multiuser

Enabling Multiuser operation permits up to 32 users to log in at the

Operation

same time to share the remote bus. If not enabled, only one user

 

can log in at a time. The default is Enabled.

 

 

Enable Browser

Enabling Browser means browser access is permitted. If this is
