OSD Operation (continued)

Advanced Network Management Settings

The ANMS sub-section is used to set up login authentication and authorization management from external sources. It is split up into two pages; Event Destination and Authentication, which are explained in the sections that follow.

Event Destination

The Event Destination page allows the KVM to be set up to record and send notifications of events that take place on the system. It allows you to enable and set up notification via SMTP, SNMP, Syslog Server and the Log Server.

SMTP Settings

The SMTP Settings section allows you to have notifications of system events emailed to you via the SMTP server. To set up this feature, follow the steps below.

•Check the Enable report from the following SMTP Server checkbox.

•In the SMTP Server field, key in the IPv4 address, IPv6 address or domain name of the SMTP server.

•If your server requires a secure SSL connection, check the My server requires secure connection (SSL) checkbox.

•If your server requires authentication, check the My server requires authentication checkbox.

•Enter in the Account Name and Password for your SMTP server.

•In the From field, key in the email address that you want the report to show up as being sent from. Note: Only one email address is allowed in the From field, and it cannot exceed 64 Bytes. 1 Byte is equal to 1 English alphanumeric character.

•In the To field, key in the email address(es) you want the report to be sent to. Note: If you are entering more than one address, separate them with a semicolon. The size of all email addresses cannot combine to more than 256 Bytes. 1 Byte is equal to 1 English alphanumeric character.

Log Server

In addition to the log that is built into the OSD, the KVM comes with an external Windows-based log server that can be installed on a computer. (See The Log Server section for details.) The Log Server section on this page is where the external log server can be enabled and set up for use. To do this, follow the steps below.

1.Check the Enable checkbox in the Log Server section.

2.In the MAC Address field, enter the MAC address of the computer that the log server resides on.

3.In the Service Port field, enter in a port that the firewall will allow to be used to access the log server. The valid port range is between 1 and 65535. The default port number is 9001. Note: The port number entered here must not be the same as any of the ports entered

into the Network sub-section. (See Network section under Device Management for details.)

SNMP Server

This section allows you to enable SNMP traps to be sent. When enabled, the following SNMP traps are sent; System Power On, Login Failure and System Reset. To enable SNMP traps, do the following.

1.Check the Enable SNMP Agent checkbox.

2.In the Server IP field, enter the IPv4 address, IPv6 address or domain name of the computer to be notified of SNMP trap events.

3.In the Service Port field, enter in a port that the firewall will allow to be used to access the SNMP server. The valid port range is between 1 and 65535. The default port number is 162. Note: The port number entered here must not be the same as any of the ports entered into the Network sub-section. (See Network section under Device Management in OSD Operation for details.)

Syslog Server

To record all the events that take place on the KVM and write them to a Syslog server, do the following:

1.Check the Enable checkbox in the Syslog Server section.

2.In the Server IP field, enter the IPv4 address, IPv6 address or domain name of the Syslog server.

3.In the Service Port field, enter in a port that the firewall will allow to be used to access the Syslog server. The valid port range is between 1 and 65535. The default port number is 514. Note: The port number entered here must not be the same as any of the ports entered into the Network sub-section. (See Network section under Device Management in OSD Operation for details.)
