Version

they become available.

 

 

Network

This page is used to specify the B051-000’s network environment.

The settings on this page are described below:

Access Ports

If a firewall is being used, the Administrator can specify the port numbers that the firewall will allow (and set the firewall accordingly). Users must specify the port number as part of the IP address when they connect to the B051-000. If an invalid port number (or no port number) is specified, the B051-000 will not be found. An explanation of the fields in the Access Port section is given in the table below:

Field

Explanation

 

 

iKVM

This is the port number that must be specified when connecting to the B051-000 from the stand-alone AP Windows Client

 

program. Valid entries are from 1024–65535. The default is 9000.

 

 

Virtual Media

This is the port number used for data transfer when accessing the B051-000’s Virtual Media feature. Valid entries are from

 

1024–65535. The default is 9003.

 

 

HTTP

The port number for a browser login. Valid entries are from 1–65535. The default is 80.

 

 

HTTPs

The port number for a secure browser login. Valid entries are from 1–65535. The default is 443.

 

 

Note: If there is no firewall (on an Intranet, for example), it doesn’t matter what these numbers are set to, since they have no effect. The access ports cannot have the same value. You must set a different value for each one.

IP Installer Settings

An IP Installer utility (IPInstaller.exe) is provided on the CD that comes with the B051-000 IP Remote Access Unit. It offers a simple method to ascertain and configure IP related settings for the B051-000. When the IP Installer is invoked, it scans the network for B051-000 devices and displays the ones it finds.

Selecting Enabled allows you to see the IP settings of the devices that were found, and to use the utility to set new IP addresses.

Selecting View Only allows you to see the IP settings of the devices that were found, but you cannot make any changes to the settings.

Selecting Disabled will prevent the B051-000 from being found by the IP Installer.

See IP Installer, page 10, for operation details.
