13.AP Operation

13.1Overview

In some cases, the Administrator may not want the NetDirector Console KVM Switch with IP Access to be available via web browser. AP versions of the Windows Client and the Java Client are provided to enable direct access of the KVM switch without having to go through a browser. The programs are initially downloaded from the KVM switches remote main page by the system administrator. After they have been downloaded by the Administrator, browser access is disabled, and users must get the AP versions of the Windows and Java client in order to remotely access the KVM switch.
