Logging Into the B064-Series KVM Switch (continued)

Browser Login

The B064-Series KVM Switches can be accessed via Internet browser from any platform that has the Java Runtime Environment 6, Update 3, or higher installed. If you don’t already have the required JRE installed, it is available for free download from the Java web site: www.java.com

Note: Windows 7 users must run Internet Explorer as an administrator for the Active X control to work properly. If you don’t run Internet Explorer as an administrator, you will not be able to access the connected computers.

To access the switch via browser, do the following:

1.Open the browser and specify the IP address of the B064-Series KVM Switch you want to access, as given to you by your system administrator.

Note: For security purposes, a login string may have been set by the administrator. If so, you must include a forward slash and the login string along with the IP address when you log in. (For example, a computer with a login string of B064-032-04-IPGwould have a URL such as 192.168.0.100/B064-032-04-IPG)

2.When you try to log into the device from your browser, a Security Alert message appears to inform you that the device’s certificate is not trusted, and asks if you want to proceed. The certificate can be trusted, but the alert is triggered because the certificate’s name is not found on Microsoft’s list of Trusted Authorities.

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.

Note:

1.If you have trouble opening the AP Windows Client, save it to your desktop and try again.

2.When accessing the AP Windows Client for the first time, you will be prompted to provide a serial number. This serial number can be found on the CD that came with your KVM.

You have two options:

•If you are working on a computer other than your own, accept the certificate for just this session by clicking Yes.

•If you are working at your own computer, install the certificate. After the certificate is installed, it will be recognized as trusted. To install the certificate, do the following:

a)In the Security Alert dialog box, click View Certificate. The Certificate Information dialog box appears.

Note: You may need to run Internet Explorer as an Administrator in order to view and install the certificate.

b)Click Install Certificate.

c)Follow the Installation Wizard to complete the installation.

Unless you have a specific reason to choose otherwise, accept the default options.

d)When the Wizard presents a caution screen, click Yes.

e)Click Finish to complete the installation and click OK to close the dialog box. The certificate is now trusted.

Upon installing the certificate or accepting the unrecognized certificate for the current session, the browser login dialog box appears.

3.Provide a valid Username and Password (set by the KVM switch’s administrator), and click Login to bring up the OSD Main Page.

Note: If you supply an invalid login, the authentication routine will return an Invalid Username or Password message. If you see this message, log in again being careful to enter the correct Username and Password.
