IMPORTANT: When supplied, MC5 units have their security features disabled, which means that any attached users have access to

all connected computers and all MC5 settings. You are strongly recommended to enable the ‘Security’ feature and set an access password for the ADMIN account.

To access the configuration menu (global users)

Once the IP settings have been made (and the MC5-IP unit is network connected), global users can access the configuration menu using a different method.

1Use either the VNC viewer or a standard web browser to make remote contact with the MC5-IP – see Global user access for more details.

2If the username entry is not blanked out, enter ‘admin’ or another

login username. Then enter the admin password (if no password is set, then just press ). Once logged in, the MC5-IP will show the video output from the host system (if one is connected), or otherwise a ‘No Signal’ message.

3Click the ‘Controls’ button and select the ‘KVM Switch menu’ option. All options appropriate to the entered username will be displayed.
