Device Management

IP Installer

The IP Installer is an external Windows-based utility for assigning IP addresses to the B064-Series KVM Switch. The IP Installer searches the network for B064-Series KVM Switches and then displays them in a dialog box that allows you to configure the IP address of the unit. (See IP Installer on page 13 for details) The IP Installer section of the Network tab allows you to set different access rights for the IP Installer.

Enable – Selecting this option will allow the IP Installer to locate the B064-Series KVM Switch on the network and configure its IP Address.

View Only – Selecting this option will allow the IP Installer to locate the B064-Series KVM Switch on the network, but will not allow you to configure the IP Address using the IP Installer.

Disable – Selecting this option will prevent the IP Installer from both locating the B064-Series KVM Switch and configuring its IP Address.

NIC Settings

The B064-Series KVM Switch is designed with two network interfaces. The NIC Setting section of the Network tab allows you to assign a single IP Address and DNS Server for both network interfaces, or to assign a separate address for each.

Redundant NIC

If Redundant NIC is enabled (the default), both interfaces use the IP address assigned to Network Adapter 1. Under this configuration, the B064- Series KVM Switch will switch to the second network interface in the event there is a crash on the first network interface.

•If you select Redundant NIC, the Network Interface drop-down menu will be frozen to Network Adapter 1, and you will only have to enter IP

Address and DNS Server settings once.

•If you do not select Redundant NIC, you will have to enter IP Address and DNS Server settings for both Network Adapter 1 and Network

Adapter 2. User the Network Interface drop-down menu to select the Network Adapter you want to configure.

IP Address

The B064-Series KVM Switch can either have its IP address assigned dynamically (DHCP), or it can be given a fixed IP address.

•For dynamic IP address assignment, select the Obtain IP address automatically option.

•To assign an IP address yourself, select the Set IP address manually option and fill in an IP Address, Subnet Mask and Default Gateway appropriate for you network.

DNS Server

As with the IP Address, you have the option of having the DNS Server set automatically or setting it yourself.

•For automatic DNS Server address assignment, select the Obtain DNS Server address automatically option.

•To specify the DNS Server address manually, select the Set DNS server address manually option, and enter in Preferred and Alternate DNS servers that are appropriate for your network.

Note: If you choose to enter the DNS Server manually, it is required that you specify the preferred DNS Server address. The alternate DNS Server address is optional.

Network Transfer Rate

This setting allows you to set the size of the data transfer stream to match network traffic conditions by setting the rate at which the B064-Series KVM Switch transfers data to remote computers. The range is from 4 to 99,999 Kilobytes per second (KBps).
