SVx41HDI Series Server Remote Control: Instruction Guide

Configuring the KVM for Your Network

NOTE: As firmware for this product evolves, some of the menu options may change and therefore these screenshots and instructions may differ slightly from the options displayed on your screen.

Using the Web Interface

The Web interface is the most intuitive way to configure the Server Remote Control. It also offers a Java-based VNC client that you can use to control the managed computers from a remote location. The unit supports any industry-standard HTML Web browser. You can access the Web interface by opening your Web browser and entering the IP address of the unit you wish to access/configure. The IP address will be either a) the address assigned by your DHCP server as identified in the previous section, or b) the address you configure through the terminal via a serial cable (see the section “Using the Terminal Interface via Serial Port” for more information).

The Login Screen

Before you can access the Web configuration interface, you must enter a user name and password. The default username and password as shipped from the factory is username admin with a password of admin.

NOTE: Before the login screen appears, your Web browser may

display a warning about an invalid security certificate. This does not affect the security of your data in any way. Whenever you are prompted about a certificate security problem by your browser or the Java VNC client, always choose the option to continue. For more information, please consult Appendix A, “About Security Certificate Warnings”.

The Home Screen

The Home screen serves two functions. First, it is a place to check the status of the unit, view essential system information, and

capture screen shots from the managed computers. Second, it is where you can start the integrated Java VNC client to interact with the managed computers by clicking on the large screen shot or choosing one of the VNC client links.

The Admin/Setup Screen

This is the menu that will allow you to access all the features you will need to perform an initial configuration of the Server Remote Control. Each of the options is explained in detail here.
