4: Installing the SpiderDuo Device

Platform-independent management—Each Spider device contains an embedded web server that delivers web pages, a Java KVM Remote Console program, and a terminal program. To access and manage the client server, the latest web browser is required. For example, Internet Explorer, Netscape, FireFox, and Safari. To run the Remote Console window and manage the target server, a Java plug-in (SUN JRE 1.4 or later) is required.

Network Environment

The connection between the client and SpiderDuo device must be open to IP traffic and use TCP ports 80 (HTTP) and 443 (HTTPS). Firewalls and NAT devices should be configured to support this configuration. The TCP ports can be changed by accessing Interfaces > Network.

When idle, minimal network traffic gets generated. Traffic bursts exceeding 10 Mpbs can occur if images change rapidly on the host server and image quality gets set to the maximum. Lantronix recommends using Fast Ethernet connections and a switched network environment because In a LAN, traffic affects the responsiveness of the Remote Console window.
