Accessing the B064-Series KVM Switch

AP Windows Client Login

In some cases, the Administrator may not want the B064-Series KVM Switches to be available via browser. The Windows AP Client allows Windows systems users access to the KVM switch without having to go through a browser.

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.exe icon to bring up the Windows Client Connection Screen:
