The Working Mode section allows you to enable/disable operation features of the KVM switch. The table below describes the available settings.

Setting

Description

 

 

Enable ICMP

When this box is checked, the KVM switch can be pinged. If it is not checked, the KVM cannot be pinged.

 

 

Enable Multiuser Operation

When this box is checked, multiple accounts (up to 32) can log onto the same bus (see Bus Info section under

 

Control Panel in Remote Session Operation for details) at the same time. If not selected, the KVM switch can only

 

be simultaneously accessed by the number of users that the unit has buses for. The B064-016-02-IPG and B064-

 

032-02-IPG have 3 buses each (1 local, 2 remote), and the B064-016-04-IPG and B064-032-04-IPG have 5 buses

 

each (1 local, 4 remote).

 

 

Enable Virtual Media Write

When this box is checked, applicable virtual media (see Virtual Media section under Control Panel in Remote

Operation

Session Operation for details) will be able to have information written to it from the remote computer. If this box is not

 

checked, any virtual media mounted to a remote computer will only be able to be viewed, and not written to.

 

 

Enable Local Virtual Media

When this box is checked, applicable USB media (see Virtual Media section under Control Panel in Remote Session

 

Operation for details) can be connected to the USB ports on the front of the KVM switch and accessed on the

 

connected computers. If this box is not checked, USB media connected to the KVM will not be accessible on the

Disable Authentication

When this box is checked, no authentication procedures are used to check accounts logging into the KVM. All users

 

will be logged onto the KVM switch with full access, regardless of what account type they are. Note: Enabling this

 

setting creates a very unsecure situation, and is not recommended.

 

 

Private Certificate

When logging into the KVM switch over a secure (SSL) connection, a certificate is required to ensure you are logging into a secure site. If a certificate is not recognized as secure, you will be prompted each time you log in to verify you want to continue to the website. This section allows you to import an Encryption Key and Certificate. To import an Encryption Key and Certificate, follow the steps below.

1.Click the Browse button to the right of Private Key, browse to where your private encryption key file is located, and then select it.

2.Click the Browse button to the right of Certificate, browse to where your certificate file is located, and then select it.

3.Click the Upload button to complete the procedure. Note: Both the Private Key and Certificate must be imported at the same time. Clicking the Restore Default button returns the KVM to the default certificate that came installed on it.
