Encryption
Fexible encryption alternatives for keyboard/mouse, video, and virtual media data let you choose any combination of DES; 3DES; AES; RC4; or a Random cycle of any or all of them. Enabling encryption affects system performance. No encryption offers the best performance. The greater the encryption the greater the adverse effect. If you enable encryption, performance considerations are:
•RC4 offers the least impact on performance; DES is next; then 3DES or AES.
•The RC4 + DES combination offers the least impact of any combination.
Mode
Item | Explanation |
Enable ICMP | If ICMP is enabled, the KVM switch can be pinged. If it is not enabled, the device cannot be |
| pinged. The default is Enabled. |
|
|
Enable Multiuser | Enabling Multiuser Operation permits up to 32 users to log in at the same time to share the |
Operation | remote bus. If not enabled, only one user can log in at a time. The default is Enabled. |
|
|
Enable Virtual Media | Enabling Virtual Media Write Operation allows redirected virtual media devices on a user's |
Write Operation | system to send data to a remote server, as well as being able to have data from the remote |
| server written to them. |
|
|
Enable Local Virtual | Enabling Local Virtual Media allows USB storage peripherals (CD/DVD, HD, flash drives, |
Media | etc.) connected to the KVM switch to appear and act as if installed on a remote system. |
|
|
Browser Service | Enabling allows the administrator to restrict browser access to the KVM switch. After |
| checking Browser Service, select the degree of restriction from the list. |
| • Disable Browser: no browser access is permitted. |
| • Disable HTTP: browser access is permitted, but the switch must be accessed with an |
| HTTPS URL. |
| • Disable HTTPS: browser access is permitted, but users must access the switch with an |
| HTTP URL. |
|
|
Disable | If checked, no authentication procedures check users attempting to log in. Users gain |
Authentication | Administrator access to the KVM switch by entering their username and password. |
| Note: Enabling this setting creates an extremely dangerous security condition, and should |
| only be used under very special circumstances. |
