IP Installer

The B064-Series KVM switch comes with an IP Installer application that allows Windows computers to easily view and

 

edit the KVMs network settings. This section determines what access the IP Installer has to the KVM switch.

 

• Enabled – When selected, the IP Installer can locate the KVM switch on the network and display its current IP

 

 

address. It also allows the IP Installer to be used to change the IP address of the KVM switch.

 

• View Only – When selected, the IP Installer can locate the KVM switch on the network and display its current IP

 

 

address, but it cannot be used to change the IP address of the KVM switch.

 

• Disabled – When selected, the IP Installer cannot locate the KVM switch on the network, nor can it be used to change

 

 

the IP address of the KVM switch.

 

 

Service Ports

This section allows you to set up port numbers that will be allowed by a firewall. If the port numbers on this page are not

 

allowed access by the firewall, you will not be able to access the KVM switch. Valid entries for all of the service ports

 

are from 1 to 65535. Note: You must enter a different port number for each field. If the KVM is connected to a network

 

without a firewall, it doesn’t matter what these ports are set to, as they will have no effect.

 

• Program – This is the port number that is used when accessing connected computers via the browser and non-

 

 

browser Windows and Java clients. It is also the port number that is used when accessing virtual media. The default

 

 

value is 9000. Note: This port number must match the port number in the non-browser Windows and Java clients

 

 

when using them to connect to the KVM switch.

 

•

HTTP – This is the port that is used for a browser login. The default value is 80.

 

•

HTTPS – This is the port that is used for a secure browser login. The default is 443.

 

•

SSH – This is the port number that is used when accessing the KVM switch via SSH. The default value is 22.

 

• Telnet – This is the port number that is used when accessing the KVM switch via Telnet. The default value is 23.

Redundant NIC

The B064-Series KVM switch features two network interfaces.You can assign the same IP address to both, or assign

 

a separate IP address for each. When this checkbox is checked, the same IP address gets assigned to both network

 

interfaces, and the NIC drop-down menu below it is grayed out. If unchecked, the NIC drop-down menu is activated, and you

 

must assign an IP address for each interface. Select a network interface from the drop-down to edit its settings.

 

 

IPv4 Settings

The B064-Series KVM switch supports both IPv4 and IPv6. If you wish to use an IPv6 IP address, ignore this section.

 

• Obtain an IP Address Automatically (DHCP) – When this option is checked, the KVM switch will have its IP address

 

 

assigned to it by a DHCP server upon booting up, and the remaining fields in this section will be grayed out. This

 

 

option is checked by default.

 

• Set IP Address Manually (Fixed IP) – Check this option if you wish to assign an IP address to the KVM yourself.
