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 a MAC filter will be denied access to the KVM switch, even if the computer is allowed to access the KVM switch under the IP filters that are set up.

If any filters have been configured, they appear in the IP Filter and/or MAC Filter list boxes.

Customization

The Customization page is grouped into three sections: Login Failure,

Working Mode, and Miscellaneous.

Login Failures

The Allowed field sets the number of consecutive failed login attempts that are permitted from a remote computer before that user is timed out.

The Timeout field sets the amount of time a remote computer must wait before attempting to login again after it has exceeded the maximum number of allowed login failures.

Working Mode

Selecting the Enable ICMP option will allow the B064-Series KVM Switch to be pinged. It also allows an IP address to be assigned via the ARP command. If it is not enabled, the device cannot be pinged, nor can it be assigned an IP address with the ARP command. It is enabled by default.

Selecting the Enable Browser option will allow the B064-Series KVM Switch to be remotely accessed via web browser. If browser access is not enabled, users will not be able to log into the unit with a browser. It is enabled by default.

Selecting the Enable Multiuser Operation option permits more than one user to log into the B064-Series KVM Switch at the same time. It is enabled by default.

Selecting the Force all to grayscale option forces the remote displays of all devices connected to the B064-Series KVM Switch to be displayed in grayscale. This can speed up transfer time in low bandwidth situations, which can improve keyboard and mouse response time.
