Modify IE Security Settings

You must modify the IE security settings to enable ActiveX. Based on the IP address of your KVM/net and the method you want to configure Internet Explorer, select an Internet zone from the “Security” tab in the IE’s “Internet Options” menu. This could be “Internet”, “Local Intranet”, or “Trusted Sites”.

•If you select "Trusted Sites", ActiveX controls are already enabled, you simply add the IP address of the KVM/net to the list of trusted sites.

•If You select “Internet” or "Local Intranet", there is no need to add the IP address of the KVM/net to the "Trusted Sites", as long as the ActiveX controls are enabled.

Note: “Trusted Sites” is the most secure option. Choosing “Internet” or “Local Intranet” option affects all hosts that you can access.
