Administration

Customization (continued)

An explanation of the Customization parameters is given in the table below:

Parameter	Explanation
Timeout	If the B051-000 doesn’t receive any input from a computer that is accessing it with the Windows Client or Java Applet for the
	amount of time specified here, it ends the connection. The default is 3 minutes.
Login Failure	Allowed - Sets the number of consecutive failed login attempts that are permitted from a remote computer. The default is 5.
	Timeout - Sets the amount of time a remote computer must wait before attempting to login again after it has exceeded the
	number of allowed failures. The default is 3 minutes.
Working Mode	Enable ICMP - If ICMP is checked, the B051-000 can be pinged, and an IP address can be assigned with the ARP command.
	If it is not checked, the device cannot be pinged or assigned an IP address with the ARP command. ICMP is checked by
	default.
	Enable Device List - If this item is checked, the device will show up in the list of local B051-000 units on the AP Windows
	Client Connection screen (see The Windows Client Connection Screen, page 11). If it is not checked, it will not show up. It is
	checked by default.
	Force All to Grayscale - If this item is checked, the remote display for all users is changed to grayscale. This can speed up
	I/O transfer in low bandwidth situations. By default, this item is not checked.
	Enable Browser – If this item is checked, users are allowed access to the B051-000 from a browser. If this function is not
	enabled, users will not be able to log into the unit via their browser. It is checked by default.
	Enable Multiuser – If this item is checked, multiple users can log into the B051-000 at the same time. It is checked by default.
Mouse Sync	Automatic – If this item is checked, the B051-000 will automatically sync the remote and local mouse pointers. It is
Mode	checked by default. Note: This feature only supports USB mice on Windows and Mac (G4 or higher) systems. For all other
	configurations, we recommend that you select Manual.
	Manual – If this item is checked, all mouse synching must be done manually with the Windows Client and Java Applet
	synching procedures. (See Auto-Syncon pages 30 and 36 for details.) By default, this item is not checked.
	Note: Sun systems must use the Manual setting.
USB IO Settings	OS - When connecting to a computer or KVM switch with the USB connector for keyboard and mouse, drop down the list to
	select the platform it uses. Choices are PC, Mac1, Mac2, and Sun. PC is the default OS.
	Note: In general, Mac 1 works best with older Mac OS versions, whereas Mac 2 works best with newer ones. This may vary,
	however. If you encounter problems with one setting, try selecting the other one.
	Language - When connecting to a computer or KVM switch with the USB connector for keyboard and mouse, drop down the
	list to select the keyboard language it uses. English is the default language.
Reset	Some configuration changes only take effect after a B051-000 reset. These include changes on the Network page, a
	Log Server port change, enabling/disabling browser access and upgrading the firmware. For those changes, a check is
	automatically put in the Reset on Exit box. To have the changes take effect, log out and then log back in again. A wait of
	approximately 30 to 60 seconds is necessary before logging in following the reset.
	Note: If the B051-000’s performance degrades, reset it by putting a check in the Reset on Exit box, and then log out / log in.

3.Click the Browse button next to the Firmware File field, navigate to the new firmware file you just saved and select the file.

4.Click Upload.
