Chapter 4. Configuration

Finally, you will be asked if the values are correct, and may adjust them if necessary. After your confirmation the B050-000 performs a reset using the new values.

Web Interface

The B050-000 may be accessed using a standard Java enabled web browser. You may use the HTTP protocol or a secure encrypted connection via HTTPS. Just enter the configured IP address of the B050-000 into your web browser. The initial login set- tings are:

Changing these settings to user specific values is strongly recommended and can be done on the “User Management” page (see the Section called Users And Groups in Chapter 6).

Mouse, Keyboard and Video configuration

Between the B050-000 and the host, there are two interfaces available for transmitting keyboard and mouse data: USB and PS/2 (available separately). The correct opera- tion of the remote mouse depends on several settings which will be discussed in the following subsections.

B050-000 USB interface

To use the USB interface a correct cabling between the managed host and the man- aging device is necessary. If the managed host has no USB keyboard support in the BIOS and you have connected the USB cable only, then you will have no remote keyboard access during the boot process of the host. Please see the Section called Keyboard/Mouse in Chapter 6 for more details.

B050-000 Keyboard Settings

The B050-000 settings for the host’s keyboard type have to be correct in order to make the remote keyboard work properly. Check the settings in the B050-000 front-end. See the Section called Keyboard/Mouse in Chapter 6 for details.

Remote Mouse Settings

A common problem with KVM devices is the synchronization between the local and remote mouse cursors. The B050-000 addresses this situation with an intelligent syn- chronization algorithm. There are three mouse modes available on the B050-000.

Auto Mouse Speed

The automatic mouse speed mode tries to detect the speed and acceleration set- tings of the host system automatically. See the section below for a more detailed explanation.
