Operation

By factory default, the KVM IP Access address is HTTPS://192.168.1.200:5908 using a web browser,

default log-in account is:

User name: superuser

Password: superu

After first log in the following page will appear

User Manual English

Web management configuration

Download

Refer to the chapter Viewer Configuration below.

Main

Date and Time: Connect the IPKVM to internet and select Synchronize with an Internet Time Server

(NTP) to set up the Local Time. Click on Store Settings so save.

Security: Specify the encryption level of connections, the certificates, and the password policy choosing

from No Password, Global Password, or User Password.

User Manual English

Networks:

TCP Port Base: Specify the port base for viewer connections with the unit. You can choose any available

port base, starting from 5900 with an increment of 10 right up to 6400. TCP port base + 8 is the port

number you will use for https web management.

For example, if your IP address is 192.168.1.192 and the TCP Port Base setting is 5920, then the new

address for accessing the Web Management is https://192.168.1.192:5928.

Host Name: The host name is the name that the unit will assume on your Local Area Network. Click Set

Default to load the default hostname composed of the product name and the Hardware MAC address of

the Ethernet port.

Use DHCP: This option allows the unit to get all TCP/IP settings automatically from a DHCP server.

IP Address: Enter a fixed IP address (in dotted decimal format such as 192.168.1.200).

Network Mask: Enter a net mask value (in dotted decimal format such as 255.255.255.0).

Gateway: Enter the fixed IP address (in dotted decimal format such as 192.168.1.254) of the gateway (i.e.

router) to access the Internet.

DNS: Enter the IP address (in dotted decimal format such as 80.10.246.30) of the DNS server that will

be used by the unit for domain name resolution (ask your network administrator if needed).

You may enable a valid DNS server IP address to allow email alerts, DDNS, connection to NTP servers,

etc.

Wireless Interface IP Settings (optional)

This subsection is hidden if you do not have a compatible wireless 802.11 USB adapter plugged in the

USB Wi-Fi port of the unit. Dongle’s chipset supported is RTL8192CU. It's strongly recommended to use

a WPA/WPA2 wireless connection, older protocols such as WEP are unsecure.

Check Enable Wireless Interface to put the wireless interface in service. Wait until the service is started

and the wireless part of this form is displayed.

User Manual English

In Network Name (SSID), select the name of the wireless network (SSID) you want to connect to. If

unknown, please get this information from your network administrator. If the wanted SSID does not appear

in the list, click on Scan. Eventually, if you cannot get the desired SSID, this is likely because the access

point is out of reach.

Please refer to the Help page to fill in the wireless interface parameters. We recommend you leave the

wireless router or access point configure the unit by checking Use DHCP.

Please Note: The Ethernet port and the Wireless port can work simultaneously at the condition they belong

to different IP networks. In the case that both ports are set to conflicting IP addresses, the Ethernet port

will work, and the wireless port will not work whether or not the Ethernet cable is connected.

So, if you plan to use the wireless alone, i.e. without Ethernet cable, please give to the Ethernet port a

fake IP address in a different network. For example, if the IP address of the wireless port belongs to

192.168.1.xxx, you could set the Ethernet Port to 192.168.2.xxx (netmask = 255.255.255.0).

Make sure you pass all information about the KVM IP Access to your Network Administrator so that he

can make the needed adjustments to the firewalls, network configuration, and DMZ of routers for the unit

to function properly and to allow it to be accessed from remote locations across the Internet.

Once all the configurations have been changed, click the Store Settings button to save the settings

and then click the Soft Restart button to validate these new settings. The settings will be invalid

without restarting the system.

DDNS: Enable and configure a Dynamic DNS client allowing to access the unit with a fixed alias

name when the public Internet IP address provided by the ISP is not fixed.

User Manual English

Virtual media

Remote Media

When running a viewer, you can share a DVD/CDROM, USB key, or ISO file with the computer attached

to the unit. For example, a CDROM in the drive of the computer running the viewer can appear like a

removable mass storage to the KVM IP Access-attached computer. Thus, from your remote location, you

can transfer files, install new programs or even install a complete OS into the attached computer. Note

that the transfer speed is limited by the network bandwidth, so it cannot be as fast as a direct

attachment.

If you share one of your hard drives, the attached computer can also write to your disk, provided you did

not check the option Disable Writes.

This page shows the current status of the connected Virtual Media and allows to forcefully disconnect it.

Specify whether the attached computer can or cannot write to the Virtual Media.

KVM Server

Server Log

The Server Log keeps detailed record of events, errors, user logins and logouts, video modes, etc. It

also records each login attempt, even when the attempt is not successful. It provides certain technical

details such as compression ratio, encoding scheme and bytes transmitted in each viewer session.

This is the place where you should go first to know the usage and state of your KVM IP Access.

This page is the place where you can see the log content, clear the log content, refresh the display of the

log, enable/disable the recording of statistical information about user connections.

Once the log file reaches its maximum size, oldest data is erased to give room to new data.

User Manual English

Each log entry is composed of the date plus time stamp, and the description of the event. The first letter

"K", "H" or "U" indicates whether the message is coming from the KVM server, the HTTP server, or the

USB server.

Video Capture

Please note that the digital video capture is always set to optimal quality and speed. This page is not

relevant for digital video signals. If the video is VGA, this page is the place where you can set up the

level of quality and speed of the video capture.

These settings can be used to balance the Video Quality against the Data Volume. Higher video quality

will generate larger data volume which will slow down the video transmission, especially across slow

Internet connections. Try to find a tradeoff between quality and speed.

Viewer Connection

This page allows adjustment of settings related to the viewer usage:

• IPKVM name as it is displayed on the title bar of the viewer window

• Keyboard layout that should be consistent with the keyboard you use on your computer and that is

setup in the attached computer

User Manual English

• Mouse re-synchronization hot keys

• Mouse shortcuts

• Special feature for anyone who uses a double-byte language such as Chinese, Japanese or

Korean (the CJK languages) and some other languages

• If the unit is connected to a KVM, you can also setup the KVM hotkeys that will allow selecting

the active port in a mouse click.

Computer

In this page you can provide some information concerning the attached computer:

• Computer Name

• Type of Operating System

• Digital or Analog Video Type

• Computer Attachment USB or PS/2*

• USB Mouse Relative or Absolute

*Please Note: PS/2 interface do not support hot-plug, when connecting a PS/2 computer select PS/2

Computer Attachment, click on Store Settings and then on Soft Restart. In the end connect the PS/2

cable included and power on the computer.

Power Control

For future use.

User Manual English

Users

Local Database

In this page you can list, edit, add, or remove user accounts that can access the product. These users

are stored in the local database of the unit, they need no external access to an authentication server. In

case of conflict, the information in the local database has higher priority than the information provided by

the possible authentication server.

IMPORTANT: Change the super user password immediately after you have installed your KVM IP

Access. Failing to change the password for the super user is a severe security risk and could result in

unauthorized access to the unit and to the host system. Please also make sure to store your new

password in a secure place where can always be recited when required!

Remote Server

In this page you will enable or disable the usage of a centralized server running a Radius service or

hosting a directory that can be accessed through the LDAP protocol (Active Directory for example). This

server can be interrogated each time a user tries to connect to the unit. Its responses grant or reject the

connection attempts. This feature allows integrating the KVM IP Access into a more global enterprise

management of users. By default, the Remote Authentication is configured as None, i.e., all remote

authentications are disabled. In this case, the authentication is all done locally by using the User

database.

User Manual English

Radius Accounting

The Radius Accounting allows the unit to record all user connection and disconnection events on a

remote Radius Accounting server. The Radius Accounting is not related to the RADIUS or LDAP server

features that can be used to authenticate users.

By default, the RADIUS Accounting is disabled.

Connected Users

This page shows a list of all users that are connected with a viewer to the computer.

Note: This list of connected users is not generated when the password policy is No Password or Global

Password since by adopting these policies you imply that the distinction of user identities is not

necessary. Please refer to the Security page for more information about password policies.

User Manual English

Alarms

Emails: Settings to send out Email alarm notifications.

SNMP: Settings concerning the SNMP manager that will get the SNMP traps sent by the unit.

Selection: Select which events will generate an alarm and the type of alarm that must be sent.

User Manual English

Maintenance

Software Versions: Basic information on the software.

Networking Status: View current Ethernet and Wireless networking information.

Software Upgrade: Upgrade the software from this page across the LAN or the Internet (if available).

User Manual English

Save/Restore Settings: Save the current configuration for future usage or upload a previously saved

configuration file.

Reboot: This page allows restarting the unit from the boot loader.

User Manual English

Viewer Configuration

Viewer for Windows

Download and install the viewer by following the on-screen instruction.

Click the viewer link icon to launch the Windows viewer. If insufficient rights are granted to the

viewer, the User Access Control will pop up for authorization.

In the Connection Dialog, type the network information to access the unit, then click Connect. If the

unit is found, the viewer will come back and ask for User Authentication. Type the User ID, Password

and then click OK to access. By default, the user ID is superuser and the password is superu.

Viewer for Java

This viewer can be used on any system that supports the latest version of Java. If you continuously use

the current system to access through Java, recommend the jar file be save at a convenient location. Run

or double click the jar file and it will pop up the Connection Dialog similar to the Windows' viewer. If the

system doesn’t associate the Java virtual machine to the .jar file, open a text console and type "java -jar

mkview-dist.jar".

User Manual English

Connection Dialog

Compression

Specify the compression type that will be used to transmit the video from the unit to viewer. The

compressions are listed from the lowest to the highest data volume. Note that high compressions need

more work and thus longer KVM over IP and viewer processing times. High compressions are efficient

when the network bandwidth is low. Note that all compressions are with NO loss.

The volume of data depends on the video type. It is lower with digital than with analog video. With analog

video, it depends on the video quality setting (refer to Video Capture section).

Slow Internet: Video compression optimized for Internet bandwidth lower than 2Mbps.

Fast Internet: Video compression optimized for High Speed Internet.

LAN: Video compression optimized for 100BaseT. Note that the unit rarely use more than 10Mbps.

No Compression: This option is only useful for testing purposes. It does not provide better performance

than the LAN option. Note that "No Compression" means that a second level of data compression is not

applied.

Restrict to 8-bit: In worst cases, when the available bandwidth is below 1Mbps or even 500 Kbps, do

not hesitate to check this box to limit the color depth of the video to 8 bits. Most often is possible to work

with an 8-bit color video.

Local Cursor

There are two cursors when accessing a remote system with a viewer, the local cursor and the remote

cursor. Normally, except during movements, the two cursors should be superimposed. Refer to the

description below if there are some troubles on the cursor.

No Cursor: Due to personal preference, some may find confusing having two mouse cursors.

Dot: Having a dot as local cursor can help identifying which cursor is local and which one is remote.

Normal: Having a big local cursor accelerates the mouse utilization. The reason is that you can click on

an element in the screen without worrying whether the remote cursor has already reached this element

or not. Only the local cursor is relevant. This option is recommended.
