Server List

Each time the WinClient.exe file is run, it searches the User's

 

local LAN segment for KVM Over the NETTM units, and lists

 

whichever ones it finds in this box. If you want to connect to

 

one of these units, double-clickit.

 

Note: 1. The switch will not appear in the list unless its

 

Enable Device List configuration parameter has

 

been enabled. See Working Mode, page 139 for

 

details.

 

2. Only units whose Access Port settings for Program

 

(see Service Ports, page 125) match the number

 

specified for Port in the Server area of this dialog

 

box appear in the Server List window.

the IP list box and select an address from the list. If the

 

address you want isn't listed, you can key in the target IP

 

address in the IP field, and its port number in the Port field. (If

 

you don't know the port number, contact your Administrator.)

 

Š When the IP address and Port number have been

 

specified, click Connect to bring up a login dialog box.

 

Provide your Username and Password then click OK to
