By default, the admin has an account on the Web Manager. An administrator can add regular user accounts to administer connected devices using the Web Manager.

TCP Ports

The TCP port numbers for KVM ports are used by the AlterPath Viewer when a user connects to a KVM port through the Web Manager. When a user connects to a KVM port through the Web Manager, the AlterPath Viewer uses port 5900. Depending on your KVM model up to four IP modules may be available. Subsequent port numbers 5901, 5902, and 5903 are used to launch additional AlterPath Viewer sessions . You can assign a different port number or numbers through the OSD or the Web Manager. Do not assign reserved TCP port numbers 1 through 1024.

Special circumstances may require KVM/net administrators to specify alternative TCP port numbers other than the defaults. For example, the firewall may block TCP port 5900 or 5901.

The following table provides links to procedures for changing default TCP port numbers.
