Device Management

Service

The Service page is composed of two panels: Access Ports and Log

Server:

Access Ports

If a firewall is being used, the Administrator can specify the port numbers that the firewall will allow. If an invalid port number (or no port number) is specified, you may be blocked from accessing the B064-Series KVM Switch by the firewall. An explanation of the fields in this section is given in the table below:

Field

Description

 

 

Program

This is the port number that must be specified when connecting from the AP Windows Client software program. Valid

 

entries are from 1024–65535. The default is 9000.

HTTP

The port number for a browser login. The default is 80.

 

 

HTTPS

The port number for a secure browser login. The default is 443.

 

 

Note: The Access Ports cannot have the same value; you must set a different value for each one. If there is no firewall, the Access Ports settings will not have an effect on the system.

Log Server

Events that occur on the B064-Series KVM Switch, such as logins and internal status messages, are kept in an automatically generated log file. In order to install and access the Log Server, the Log Server fields on this page must be filled out correctly. Specify the MAC address of the computer that the Log Server resides on, and a port number that can be used. The valid port range is 1-65535. The default port number is 9001.

Note: Installation and operation of the Log Server is discussed in the section that begins on page 63.

ANMS

The Advanced Network Management Settings (ANMS) page is used to set up login authentication and authorization management from external sources. It is divided into three main panels, as shown in the figure at right:
