Logging In

Overview

KVM Over the NETTM switches can be accessed from a local console; an internet browser; a Windows application (AP) program; and a Java application (AP) program.

No matter which access method you choose, the KVM Over the NETTM switch’s authentication procedure requires you to submit a valid username and password. If you supply an invalid login, the authentication routine will return an Invalid Username or Password, or Login Failed message. If you see this type of message, log in again with a correct username and password.

Note: If the number of invalid login attempts exceeds an amount specified by the switch’s Super Administrator, a timeout period is invoked. You must wait until the timeout period expires before you can attempt to log in again. See Login Failures, page 138 for further details.

Local Console Login

When the local console is attached (see Single Stage Installation, page 21) and there is no user logged in, the KVM Over the NETTM login screen appears on the display:

Simply key in your Username and Password, then click Login to bring up the Local Console Main Page. The Local Console Main Page is similar to the Web Browser, WinClient and Java Client Main Pages. For a description of the Web Browser Main Page, see page 45.
