Device Management

Security

The Security page contains settings that allow you to control access to the B064-Series KVM Switch.

•IP and MAC Filters control access to the B064-Series KVM Switch based on the IP and/or MAC addresses of the computers attempting to access the system. If any filters have been configured, they appear in the IP Filter and/or MAC Filter list boxes.

•The Login String lets the Administrator specify a login string (in addition to the IP address) that users must include when they access the B064-Series KVM Switch remotely. Users must include the forward slash and the string along when they specify the IP address. For security purposes, we recommend that you change this string from time to time. (For example, entering abcdefg in the Login String field will require users to type in a URL similar to 192.168.0.126/abcdefg to access the B064-Series KVM Switch remotely)

Note: If no string is specified here, anyone can access the B064-

Series KVM Switch with a Web browser using the IP address alone.

This makes the installation less secure.

Filtering

To enable IP and/or MAC filtering, click the IP Filter Enable and/or MAC Filter Enable checkbox. There are a maximum of 100 filters allowed for each.

•If the include button is checked, all the addresses within the filter range are allowed access to the B064-Series KVM Switch; all other addresses are denied access.

•If the exclude button is checked, all the addresses within the filter range are denied access to the B064-Series KVM Switch; all other addresses are allowed access.

IP Filtering

To add an IP filter:

1.Check the IP Filter Enable check box.

2.Click Add. A dialog box similar to the one below appears:

3.To filter a single IP address, key in the same address in both the From and To fields. To filter a range of addresses, key in the starting IP address in the From field and the ending IP address in the To field.

5.After filling in the addresses, click OK.

6.Repeat these steps for any additional IP addresses you want to filter.

To delete an IP filter:

Select the desired IP filter from the list and click Remove.

To modify an IP filter:

1.Select the desired IP filter from the list and click Edit. An Edit dialog box similar to the Add dialog box will appear.

2.Delete the old start IP address and replace it with the new one.

3.Delete the old end IP address and replace it with the new one. Click OK.

Note: To block a computer from accessing the B064-Series KVM Switch, you do not need to filter both its IP address and its MAC address. Any computer blocked by an IP filter will be denied access to the KVM switch, even if the computer is allowed to access the KVM switch under the MAC filters that are set up.
