Accessing the B064-Series KVM Switch

The B064-Series KVM Switches can be accessed in the following ways: via local console, an internet browser, the AP Windows Client and/or the AP Java Client. Operating the KVM switch and configuring its settings is done the same regardless of how you connect to the B064-Series KVM Switch; the only difference is the way in which you establish the connection. This chapter describes the login procedures for each of these methods.

Local Console Login

As described at the beginning of Chapter 3, Super Administrator Setup, the local console login dialog box is displayed once the installation is complete. When the local console is attached, and there is no user logged in, the login screen will appear on the display. Simply key in your Username and Password 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.

Browser 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 into 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, but the alert is triggered because the certificate’s name is not found on Microsoft’s list of Trusted Authorities.

You have two options:

•If you are working on a computer other than your own, accept the certificate for just this session by clicking Yes.

•If you are working at your own computer, install the certificate.

After the certificate is installed, it will be recognized as trusted. To install the certificate, do the following:

a)In the Security Alert dialog box, click View Certificate. The Certificate Information dialog box appears.

Note: There is a red and white X over the certificate to indicate that it is not trusted.

b)Click Install Certificate.

c)Follow the Installation Wizard to complete the installation. Unless you have a specific reason to choose otherwise, accept the default options.

d)When the Wizard presents a caution screen, click Yes.

e)Click Finish to complete the installation and click OK to close the dialog box. The certificate is now trusted.

Upon installing the certificate or accepting the unrecognized certificate for the current session, the browser login dialog box appears.

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.
