4.Accessing the B064-Series KVM Switch (continued)

4.2Browser Login

The B064-Series KVM Switches can be accessed via Internet browser from any platform that has the Java Runtime Environment 6, Update 3 or higher installed. If you don’t already have the required JRE installed, it is available for free download from the Java web site: www.java.com

To access the switch via browser, do the following:

1.Open the browser and specify the IP address of the B064-Series KVM Switch you want to access, as given to you by your system administrator.

Note: For security purposes, a login string may have been set by the administrator. If so, you must include a forward slash and the login string along with the IP address when you log in. (For example, a computer with a login string of B064-032-04-IPwould have a URL such as 192.168.0.100/B064-032-04-IP)

2.When you try to log in to the device from your browser, a Security Alert message appears to inform you that the device’s certificate is not trusted, and asks if you want to proceed. The certificate can be trusted; accept the certificate and proceed to the login screen. (See the Owner’s Manual on the B064-Series KVM Switch CD for information on installing the certificate so it shows up as trusted)

3.Provide a valid Username and Password (set by the KVM switch’s administrator), and click Login to bring up the OSD Main Page.

Note: If you supply an invalid login, the authentication routine will return an Invalid Username or Password message. If you see this message, log in again being careful to enter the correct Username and Password.

4.3 AP Windows Client Login

The AP Windows Client can be found in the Download Section of the OSD or on the CD that came with your B064-Series KVM Switch. If you do not have access to the CD, and browser access to the KVM switch has already been disabled, you will need to obtain the file from your system administrator. Once you have saved the AP Windows Client, go to its location and double-click the WinClient-AP.exeicon to bring up the Windows Client Connection Screen.

Each time the WinClient.exe file is run, it searches the User’s LAN segment for B064-Series KVM Switches, and lists the ones it finds in the Server List. Double-click on any of the units in this list to connect to it. You will be prompted to enter your Username and Password. Enter your Username and Password to connect to the KVM switch.

If you are connecting to a KVM switch from a remote location, and the B064-Series KVM Switch does not show up in the Server List, enter the KVM switches URL and Port number in the corresponding fields in the Server section. Click Connect and enter your username and password to connect to the KVM switch.

Once connected, click Switch to Remote View to access the KVM switch.

4.4 AP Java Client Login

After downloading the AP Java Client, go to the location on your hard disk where you downloaded the program and double-click the JavaClient.jar icon to bring up the Address Input dialog box.

1.Key in the IP address for the unit you want to connect to, as given to you by your system administrator. For security purposes, a login string may have been set up by the administrator. If a login string has been set up, a forward slash followed by the login string must be specified as part of the IP address. (For example, a computer with a login string of B064-032-04-IPwould have a URL such as 192.168.0.100/B064-032-04-IP)

2.Click OK. A Login dialog box appears.
