4. Introduction

4.1 Overview

The B064C-16-1-IP NetDirector Dual-Rail LCD KVM Switch is a control unit that allows secure access and control of up to

16 computers from a single KVM (keyboard, video, and mouse) console. A single unit can control up to 16 computers. It

consists of an integrated LED-backlit LCD monitor, keyboard, and touchpad in a 1U rack-mountable retractable sliding

housing.

The B064C-16-1-IP features IP-based connectivity that allows one local operator and multiple remote operators to

concurrently monitor and access the computers on your installation. It uses TCP/IP for its communications protocol,

allowing it to be accessed from any computer on the LAN, WAN, or Internet – whether that computer is located down

the hall, down the street, or halfway around the world.

By daisy-chaining up to 15 additional switches, as many as 256 computers can be controlled from the original KVM

console. An auto-sensing function recognizes the position of each station on the chain, eliminating the need to manually

set the position, and a two digit seven-segment LED display on the keyboard module that shows each station’s position

for easy identification.

Compact, high-density, RJ45 connectors and CAT 5e/6 cable make for a compact, efficient, wiring configuration, while the

use of PS/2 and USB KVM Adapter Cables to link to the computers, permits any combination of Windows, Macs, Sun

computers, and serial devices to coexist on the installation.

6.2 LCD OSD Configuration

6.2.1 LCD Buttons

The LCD OSD allows you to set up and configure the LCD display. Four buttons are used to perform the configuration,

as described in the table below:

Button Function

When you have not entered the LCD OSD Menu function, pressing this button invokes the Menu

function and opens the Main Menu.

When navigating through the menus, this button moves you right or up. When making an

adjustment, it increases the value.

When navigating through the menus, this button moves you left or down. When making an

adjustment, it decreases the value.

EXIT

• When you have not entered the LCD OSD Menu function, pressing this button performs an auto

adjustment. An auto adjustment automatically congures all settings for the LCD panel to what

the OSD considers their optimum values.

• When you have entered the LCD OSD Menu function, pressing this button exits the current

menu and returns you to the previous menu. Use it to leave an adjustment menu when you are

satised with the adjustment you have made.

• When you are at the Main Menu, pressing this button exits the LCD OSD.

6.2.2 Adjustment Settings

An explanation of the LCD OSD adjustment settings is provided in the table below:

amount of time you choose, the OSD turns o.

Reset

Resets the menu and submenu adjustments (except for language settings) to the original factory

default settings.

6. KVM Operation

6.3 Port Selection

The B064C-16-1-IP provides three methods to obtain instant access to any computer in your installation: Manual, OSD/

GUI and Hotkeys.

Manual

For manual port selection, simply press the port switch that corresponds to the device you wish to access.

OSD / GUI

The B064C-16-1-IP provides menu-driven interfaces to the computer switching procedure. There are two systems: A

text-based OSD when you log in from the local console; and a graphical user interface (GUI) when you log in remotely

over the internet.

Hotkeys

Hotkeys allow you to conveniently provide KVM focus to a particular computer from the local console keyboard instead

of having to manually select them by pressing port selection switches. See 7.3.1 Hotkey Port Control for details.

6.4 Hot Plugging

The B064C-16-1-IP supports hot plugging, where components can be removed and added back into the installation by

unplugging and replugging their cables from their ports without needing to shut down the unit. For hot plugging to

work properly, the procedures described below must be followed:

Hot Plugging Stations

You can switch station positions by simply unplugging from the old parent and plugging into a new one. After you do, in

order for the OSD menus to correspond to the change, you must reset the OSD.

Hot Plugging KVM Ports

After switching KVM ports, for the OSD menus to correspond to the change, you must manually reconfigure the OSD

information for the new port information.

Note: If the computer’s operating system does not support hot plugging, this function may not work properly.

6.4.1 Hot Plugging Console Ports

The keyboard, monitor and mouse can all be hot plugged. When hot plugging the mouse:

You may unplug the mouse and plug it back in again (to reset the mouse, for example), as long as you use the same

mouse.

If you plug in a different mouse, all the stations and all the computers on the installation must be shut down for 10

seconds, then restarted following the power up sequence.

Notes:

• Some older operating systems may not support hot plugging.

• If after hot plugging (or at any other time), there is no response to keyboard and/or mouse input, perform a keyboard and mouse reset.

See 7.3.6 Computer Keyboard / Mouse Reset for details.

6. KVM Operation

6.5 Powering Off and Restarting

If it becomes necessary to power off the unit or if the switch loses power and needs to be restarted, follow these steps:

1. Shut down all connected computers.

Note: You must unplug the power cords of any computers that have the Keyboard Power On function.

2. Wait 10 seconds, then power the unit back on. If you have shut down more than one station, power up the highest

station first and work your way down to the lowest one. Wait for each station to display its Station ID on the front

panel LED before powering on the next one.

3. After the station(s) is (are) up, power on the computers once again.

6.6 Port ID Numbering

Each computer on the installation is assigned a unique Port ID. The Port ID is a one or two segment number that is

determined by the stage level and KVM port number of the KVM switch that the computer is connected to.

The first segment represents the KVM port number of the first stage unit; the second segment represents the KVM port

number of the second stage unit.

A computer attached to a first stage unit has a one segment Port ID (from 1- 16) that corresponds to the KVM port

number that it is connected to.

A computer attached to a second stage unit has a two segment Port ID:

• The second segment (from 1-16), represents the KVM port number on the second stage unit that the computer is

connected to. The first segment (from 1-16) represents the KVM port number on the first stage unit that the second

stage unit links back to.

• For example, a port ID of 12-3 refers to a computer that is connected to KVM Port 3 of a second stage unit that links

back to KVM Port 12 of the first stage unit.

7. Administration

7.1 IP Address Determination

If you are an administrator logging in for the first time, you need to access the B064C-16-1-IP in order to give it an IP

address that users can connect to. There are three methods to choose from. In each case, your client computer must

be on the same network segment as the B064C-16-1-IP. After you have connected and logged in you can give the

B064C-16-1-IP its fixed network address (see 7.9.3 Network for more information.)

The Local Console

The easiest way to assign an IP address is from the local console.

IP Installer

For client computers running Windows, an IP address can be assigned with the IP lnstaller utility. The utility can be

obtained from the Download area of our website. Look under DriverISW, and the model of your switch. After

downloading the utility to your client computer, do the following:

1. Unzip the contents of lPlnstaller.zip to a directory on your hard drive.

2. Go to the directory that you unzipped the IPInstaller program to and run lPlnstaller.exe. A dialog box similar to the

one below appears:

3. Select B064C-16-1-IP in the Device List.

Notes:

• If the list is empty, or your device does not appear, click Enumerate to refresh the Device List.

• If there is more than one device in the list, use the MAC address to pick the one you want.

4. Select either Obtain an lP address automatically (DHCP), or Specify an lP address. If you chose the latter, fill the IP

Address, Subnet Mask and Gateway fields with the information appropriate to your network.

5. Click Set IP.

6. After the IP address shows up in the Device List, click Exit.

7. Administration

Browser

1. Set your client computer’s IP address to 192.168.0.XXX

Where XXX represents any number or numbers except 60 (192.168.0.60 is the default address of the B064C-16-1-IP).

2. Specify the switch’s default IP address (192.168.0.60) in your browser to connect.

3. Assign a fixed IP address for the B064C-16-1-IP that is suitable for the network segment that it resides on.

After you log out, reset your client computer’s IP address to its original value.

7.1.1 IPv6

The B064C-16-1-IP supports three IPv6 address protocols: Link Local lPv6 Address, lPv6 Stateless Autoconfiguration and

Stateful Autoconfiguration (DHCPv6).

Link Local IPv6 Address

At power on, the B064C-16-1-IP is automatically configured with a Link Local IPv6 Address (for example,

fe80::210:74ff:fe61:1ef). To determine what the Link Local IPv6 Address is, log in with the B064C-16-1-IP IPv4 address

and open the Device Management  Device Information page. The address is displayed in the General list box.

Once you have determined the IPv6 address, you can use it when logging in from a browser or the Win and Java Client

AP programs.

For example:

If you are logging in from a browser, you would key:

http://[fe80::2001:74ff:fe6e:59%5]

for the URL bar.

If you are logging in with the AP program, you would key:

fe80::2001:74ff:fe6e:59%5

for the IP field of the Server panel (see 7.5.3 Windows Client AP Login).

Notes:

• To log in with the Link Local IPv6 Address, the client computer must be on the same local network segment as the B064C-16-1-IP.

• The %5 is the %interface used by the client computer. To see your client computer’s IPv6 address: from the command line issue the

following command: ipconfig /all. The % value appears at the end of the IPv6 address.

IPv6 Stateless Autoconfiguration

If the B064C-16-1-IP network environment contains a device (such as a router) that supports the IPv6 Stateless

Autoconfiguration function, the B064C-16-1-IP can obtain its prefix information from that device to generate its IPv6

address. For example: 2001::74ff:fe6e:59.

As above, the address is displayed in the General list box of the Device Management  Device Information page.

Once you have determined the IPv6 address, you can use it when logging in from a browser or the Win and Java Client

AP programs.

For example:

If you are logging in from a browser, you would key:

http://[2001::74ff:fe6e:59]

for the URL bar.

If you are logging in with the AP program, you would key:

2001::74ff:fe6e:59

for the IP field of the Server panel (see 7.5.3 Windows Client AP Login).

7. Administration

7.1.2 Trusted Certificates

When you try to login to the B064C-16-1-IP from your Web browser, a Security Alert message will appear to inform you

the device’s certificate is not trusted and ask 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. You have two options: 1) Ignore the warning and click Yes to proceed; or 2) Install the certificate

and have it be recognized as trusted.

• If you are working on a computer at another location, accept the certificate for just this session by clicking Yes.

• If you are working at your own computer, install the certificate on your computer (see below for details). After the

certificate is installed, it will be recognized as trusted.

Installing the Certificate

To install the certificate:

1. In the Security Alert dialog box, click View Certificate. The Certificate dialog box will appear.

Note: There is a red and white X logo over the certificate to indicate it is not trusted.

2. Click Install Certificate.

3. Follow the Installation Wizard instructions to complete the installation. Unless you have a specific reason to choose

otherwise, accept the default options.

4. The Wizard will present a caution screen. Click Yes.

5. Click Finish to complete the installation.

6. Click OK to close the dialog box.

7. Administration

Certificate Trusted

The certificate is now trusted:

When you click View Certificate, you can see the red and white X logo is no longer present to indicate the certificate

is trusted.

7.1.3 Self-Signed Private Certificates

If you wish to create your own self-signed encryption key and certificate, a free utility (openssl.exe) is available for

download at www.openssl.org. To create your private key and certificate:

1. Go to the directory where you downloaded and extracted openssl.exe.

2. Run openssl.exe with the following parameters:

openssl req -new -newkey rsa:1024 -days 3653 -nodes -x509

-keyout CA.key -out CA.cer -config openssl.cnf

Notes:

• The command should be entered all on one line (i.e., do not press [Enter] until all the parameters have been keyed in).

• If there are spaces in the input, surround the entry in quotes (e.g., “Eaton Corporation”).

To avoid having to input information during key generation the following additional parameters can be used:

/C /ST /L /O /OU /CN /emailAddress.

Example

openssl req -new -newkey rsa:1024 -days 3653 -nodes -x509

-keyout CA.key -out CA.cer -config openssl.cnf -subj

/C=yourcountry/ST=yourstateorprovince/L=yourlocationor city/

O=yourorganiztion/OU=yourorganizationalunit/ CN=yourcommonname/

[email protected]

Importing Files

Once the openssl.exe program completes, two files - CA.key (the private key) and CA.cer (the self-signed SSL

certificate) - are created in the directory that you ran the program from. These are the files that you upload in the

Private Certificate panel of the Security page.

Macros

The Macros icon provides access to three functions found in the Macros dialog box: Hotkeys, User Macros and

System Macros.

Hotkeys

Various actions related to manipulating the remote server can be accomplished with hotkeys. The Hotkey Setup utility

(accessed by clicking the icon) lets you configure which hotkeys perform the actions.

The hotkeys that invoke an action are shown to the right of its name. Use the checkbox to the left of an action’s name

to enable or disable its hotkey.

7. Administration

To change the hotkey for an action, do the following:

1. Highlight the Action, then click Set Hotkey.

2. Press your selected Function keys (one at a time). The key names appear in the Hotkeys field as you press them.

• You can use the same function keys for more than one action, so long as the key sequence is not the same.

• To cancel setting a hotkey value, click Cancel; to clear an action’s Hotkeys field, click Clear.

3. Once you have finished keying in your sequence, click Save.

To reset all the hotkeys to their default values, click Reset.

An explanation of the Hotkey actions is provided in the table below:

Action Explanation

Exit Remote

Location

Breaks the connection to the B064C-16-1-IP and returns you to local client computer operation.

This is equivalent to clicking the Exit icon on the Control Panel. The default keys are F2, F3, F4.

Adjust Video

Opens the Video Settings dialog box. This is equivalent to clicking the Video Settings icon on the

Control Panel. The default keys are F5, F6, F7.

Toggle OSD Toggles the OSD Control Panel O and On. The default keys are F3, F4, F5.

Toggle Mouse

Display

If you nd the display of the two mouse pointers (local and remote) to be confusing or troublesome,

you can use this function to shrink the non-functioning pointer down to a barely noticeable tiny

circle which can be ignored. Since this function is a toggle, use the hotkeys again to bring the

mouse display back to its original conguration. This is equivalent to selecting the Single pointer

type from the Mouse Pointer icon on the Control Panel. The default keys are F7, F8, F9.

Note: The Java Control Panel does not have this feature.

Adjust Mouse This synchronizes the local and remote mouse movements. The default keys are F6, F7, F8.

Video Autosync

This combination performs an auto-sync operation. It is equivalent to clicking the Video Autosync

icon on the Control Panel. The default keys are F8, F7, F6.

Show/Hide Local

Cursor

Toggles the display of your local mouse pointer o and on. This is equivalent to selecting the Null

Pointer type from the Mouse Pointer icon on the Control Panel. The default keys are F4, F5.

Substitute Ctrl

key

If your local client computer captures Ctrl key combinations and prevents them from being sent to

the remote server, you can implement their eects on the remote server by specifying a function

key to substitute for the Ctrl key. If you substitute the F11 key, for example, pressing [F11 + 5]

would appear to the remote server as [Ctrl + 5]. The default key is F11.

Substitute Alt key

Although all other keyboard input is captured and sent to the B064C-16-1-IP switch, [Alt + Tab]

and [Ctrl + Alt + Del] work on your local client computer. To implement their eects on the remote

server, another key may be substituted for the Alt key. If you substitute the F12 key, for example,

you would use [F12 + Tab] and [Ctrl + F12 + Del]. The default key is F12.

7. Administration

User Macros

User Macros are created to perform specific actions on the remote server. To create the macro, do the following:

1. Select User Macros, then click Add.

2. In the dialog box that opens, replace the “New Macro” text with a name of your choice for the macro:

3. Click Record.

The dialog box disappears and a small panel appears at the top left of the screen:

7. Administration

4. Press the keys for the macro.

• To pause macro recording, click Pause. To resume, click Pause again.

• Clicking Show opens a dialog box that lists each keystroke you make, together with the amount of time each one

takes:

Clicking Cancel cancels all keystrokes.

Once you have finished, click Stop (this is the equivalent of clicking Done in Step 5).

Notes:

• Case is not considered - typing A or a has the same effect.

• When recording the macro, the focus must be on the remote screen. It cannot be in the macro dialog box.

• Only the default keyboard characters may be used. Alternate characters cannot be used. For example, if the keyboard is Traditional

Chinese and default character is A, the alternate Chinese character obtained via keyboard switching is not recorded.

5. If you have not opened the Show dialog, click Done when you have finished recording your macro. You return to the

Macros dialog box with your macro key presses displayed in the Macro column:

7. Administration

6. If you want to change any of the keystrokes, select the macro and click Edit. This will open a dialog box similar to the

one for Show. You can change the content of your keystrokes, change their order, etc.

7. Repeat the procedure for any other macros you wish to create.

After creating your macros, you can run them in any of three ways:

1. Using the hotkey (if one was assigned).

2. Opening the Macro List on the Control Panel and clicking the one you want.

3. Opening this (Macros) dialog box and clicking Play.

If you run the macro from this dialog box, you have the option of specifying how the macro runs.

• If you choose Play Without Wait, the macro runs the key presses one after another with no time delay between them.

• If you choose Play with Time Control, the macro waits for the amount of time between key presses that you took

when you created it. Click on the arrow next to Play to make your choice.

• If you click Play without opening the list, the macro runs with the default choice (NoWait or TimeCtrl), which is shown

in the Playback column.

Note: User Macros are stored on the Local Client computer of each user. Therefore, there is no limitation on the of number of macros,

size of the macro names or makeup of the hotkey combinations that invoke them.

Located at the bottom of the dialog box, the Search button lets you filter the list of macros that appear in the large

upper panel for you to play or edit. Click a radio button to choose whether you want to search by name or by key, key

in a string for the search, then click Search. All instances that match your search string will appear in the upper panel.

7. Administration

System Macros

System Macros are used to create exit macros for when you close a session. For example, as an added measure of

security, you can create a macro that sends the Winkey-L combination which would cause the remote server’s log in

page to open the next time the device was accessed. To create the macro:

1. Select System Macros, then click Add.

2. In the dialog box that opens, replace the “New Macro” text with a name of your choice for the macro.

3. Click Record.

The dialog box will disappear and a small panel will appear at the top left of the screen.

7. Administration

4. Press the keys for the macro.

• To pause macro recording, click Pause. To resume, click Pause again.

• Clicking Show opens a dialog box that lists each keystroke that you make, together with the amount of time each

one takes.

Notes:

• Case is not considered - typing A or a has the same effect.

• When recording the macro, the focus must be on the remote screen. It cannot be in the macro dialog box.

• Only the default keyboard characters may be used. Alternate characters cannot be used. For example, if the keyboard is Traditional

Chinese and default character is A the alternate Chinese character obtained via keyboard switching is not recorded.

5. If you have not opened the Show dialog, click Done when you have finished recording your macro. You will return to

the Macros dialog box with your system macro key presses displayed in the Macro column:

6. If you want to change any of the keystrokes, select the macro and click Edit. This will open a dialog box similar to the

one for Show. You can change the content of your keystrokes, change their order, etc.

7. Repeat the procedure for any other macros you wish to create.

Once the system macros have been created, they are available for use on a port-by-port basis. They get selected on a

port’s Port Configuration  Port Properties page.

Notes:

• You can choose only one system macro per port.

• Systems macros are stored on the switch. Therefore, macro names may not exceed 64 Bytes and hotkey combinations may not exceed

256 Bytes (each key usually takes 3-5 Bytes).

7. Administration

Video Settings

Clicking the Hammer icon on the Control Panel opens the Video Settings dialog box. Click Advanced to view all

settings. The options in this dialog box allow you to adjust the placement and picture quality of the remote

screen on your monitor:

The meanings of the video adjustment options are provided in the table below:

Options Usage

Screen Position

Adjust the horizontal and vertical position of the remote server window by clicking the arrow

buttons.

Auto-Sync

Click Auto-Sync to have the vertical and horizontal oset values of the remote screen detected and

automatically synchronized with the local screen.

Notes:

• If the local and remote mouse pointers are out of sync, in most cases, performing this function will bring them

back into sync.

• This function works best with a bright screen.

• If you are not satised with the results, use the Screen Position arrows to position the remote display manually.

RGB

Drag the slider bars to adjust the RGB (Red, Green, Blue) values. When an RGB value is increased,

the RGB component of the image is increased accordingly.

If you enable Set to Grayscale, the remote video display is changed to grayscale.

Gamma This section allows you to adjust the video display’s gamma level.

Performance

Drag the slide bar to adjust the bandwidth connection that the local client computer uses. The

switch will use that selection to automatically adjust the Video Quality and Detect Tolerance settings

to optimize the quality of the video display.

Since network conditions vary, if none of the preset choices seem to work well, you can select

Customize and use the Video Quality and Detect Tolerance slider bars to adjust the settings to suit

your conditions.

7. Administration

Options Usage

Video Quality

Drag the slider bar to adjust the overall video quality. The larger the value, the clearer the picture

and the more video data goes through the network. Depending on the network bandwidth, a high

value may adversely eect response time.

Enable Refresh

The B064C-16-1-IP can redraw the screen every 1 to 99 seconds, eliminating unwanted artifacts

from the screen. Select Enable Refresh and enter a number from 1 through 99. The B064C-16-1-

IP will redraw the screen at the interval you specify. This feature is disabled by default. Click to put a

check mark in the box next to Enable Refresh to enable this feature.

Notes:

• The switch starts counting the time interval when the mouse movement stops.

• Enabling this feature increases the volume of video data transmitted over the network. The lower the number

specied, the more often the video data is transmitted. Setting too low a value may adversely aect overall

operating responsiveness.

Transparency

Adjusts the transparency of the toolbar that appears when the OSD hotkey ([Scroll Lock][Scroll

Lock], for example) is invoked. Slide the bar until the display in the example window is to your liking.

Color Depth

Control

This setting determines the richness of the video display by adjusting the amount of color

information.

Detect Tolerance

This setting also relates to video quality. It governs detecting or ignoring pixel changes. A high

setting can result in a lower quality display due to less data transfer. A lower setting will result in

better video quality, but setting the threshold too low may allow too much data to be transferred,

negatively impacting network performance.

Auto Balance

Tolerance

Check this box to allow the system to automatically adjust the tolerance settings.

7. Administration

Gamma Adjustment

If it is necessary to correct the gamma level for the remote video display, use the Gamma function of the Video

Adjustment dialog box.

• Under Basic configuration, there are ten preset and four user-defined levels to choose from. Drop down the list box

and choose the most suitable one.

• For greater control, clicking the Advanced button opens the following dialog box:

• Click and drag the diagonal line at as many points as you wish to achieve the display output you desire.

• Click Save As to save up to four user-defined configurations derived from this method. Saved configurations can be

recalled from the list box at a future time.

• Click Reset to abandon any changes and return the gamma line to its original diagonal position.

• Click OK to save your changes and close the dialog box.

• Click Cancel to abandon your changes and close the dialog box.

Note: For optimal results, change the gamma setting while viewing a remote server.

Network Bandwidth Information for KVM Sessions

For network bandwidth management, a KVM session of a full-screen video display at 1920 x 1080 @ 60 Hz will take up

approximately 64 Mbps.

However, since the network environment of each station/session varies, the aforementioned information proposes

what is ideal but does not warrant the smoothness/quality for each session.

7. Administration

The Message Board

The B064C-16-1-IP supports multiple user logins, which may cause access conflicts. To alleviate the problem, a

message board is provided to allow users to communicate with one other:

Button Bar

The buttons on the Button Bar are toggles.

Button Action

Enable/Disable Chat: When disabled, messages posted to the board are not displayed. The

button is shadowed when Chat is disabled. The icon displays next to the user's name in the User

List panel when the user has disabled Chat.

Occupy/Release Keyboard/Video/Mouse: When you Occupy the KVM, other users cannot see

the video, nor input keyboard or mouse data. The button is shadowed when the KVM is occupied.

The icon displays next to the user's name in the User List panel when the user has occupied the

KVM.

Occupy/Release Keyboard/Mouse: When you Occupy the KM, other users can see the video, but

cannot input keyboard or mouse data. The button is shadowed when the KM is occupied. The icon

displays next to the user’s name in the User List panel when the user has occupied the KM.

Show/Hide User List: When you hide the User List, the User List panel closes. The button is

shadowed when the User List is open.

Message Display Panel

Messages that users post to the board (as well as system messages) display in this panel. If you disable Chat, messages

that get posted to the board will not appear.

Compose Panel

Key in the messages that you want to post to the board in this panel. Click Send, or press [Enter] to post the message

to the board.

7. Administration

User List Panel

The names of all the logged in users are listed in this panel.

• Your name appears in blue and other users’ names appear in black.

• By default, messages are posted to all users. To post a message to an individual user, select the user’s name before

sending your message.

• If a user’s name is selected and you want to post a message to all users, select All Users before sending your

message.

• If a user has disabled Chat, its icon displays before the user’s name to indicate so.

• If a user has occupied the KVM or the KM, its icon displays before the user’s name to indicate as such.

Zoom

The Zoom icon controls the zoom factor for the remote view window.

Setting Description

100% Sizes and displays the remote view window at 100%.

75% Sizes and displays the remote view window at 75%.

50% Sizes and displays the remote view window at 50%.

25% Sizes and displays the remote view window at 25%.

1:1

Sizes and displays the remote view window at 100%. The dierence between this setting and the

100% setting is that when the remote view window is resized its contents do not resize - they

remain at the size they were. To see any objects that are outside of the viewing area, move the

mouse to the window edge to have the screen scroll.

7. Administration

On-Screen Keyboard

The KVM switch supports an on-screen keyboard available in multiple languages and with all the standard keys

for each supported language. Click this icon to pop up the on-screen keyboard:

One of the major advantages of the on-screen keyboard is that if the keyboard languages of the remote and local

systems are not the same, you do not need to change the configuration settings for either system. Simply access the

on-screen keyboard, select the language used by the server you are accessing and use the on-screen keyboard to

communicate with it.

Note: You must use your mouse to click on the keys. You cannot use your actual keyboard.

Changing Languages

1. Click the down arrow next to the currently selected language to view a drop-down selection of the language list.

2. Select the new language from the list.

7. Administration

Expanded Keyboard

To display/hide the expanded keyboard keys, click the arrow to the right of the language list arrow.

Mouse Pointer Type

KVM switches offer several mouse pointer options when working in the remote display. Click this icon to select

from the available choices:

Notes:

• Before accessing a port, only Dual and Crosshairs are available for Windows Viewers. Once the port is accessed, all four pointers are

available.

• The Dot pointer is not available with the Java Applet Viewer or the Java Client AP.

• Selecting the Dot pointer has the same effect as the Toggle mouse display hotkey function.

• The icon on the Control Panel changes to match your choice.

Mouse DynaSync Mode

Synchronization of the local and remote mouse pointers is accomplished automatically or manually.

Automatic Mouse Synchronization (DynaSync)

Mouse DynaSync provides automatic locked-in synching of the remote and local mouse pointers, eliminating the need to

constantly resync the two movements.

Notes:

• This feature is only available for Windows and Mac systems (G4 or later) whose adapter attribute OS setting is configured for Win or Mac.

• All other configurations must use manual mouse synchronization.

7. Administration

The icon on the Control Panel indicates the synchronization mode status as follows:

Icon Function

This icon displays in gray to indicate that Mouse DynaSync is not available and you must use

manual synching procedures. This is the default setting for all KVM Adapters.

The green check mark on this icon indicates Mouse DynaSync is available and enabled. This is the

default setting when Mouse DynaSync is available.

The red X on this icon indicates Mouse DynaSync is available but is not enabled.

When Mouse DynaSync is available, clicking the icon toggles its status between enabled and disabled. If you choose to

disable Mouse DynaSync mode, you must use the manual synching procedures described in the Manual Mouse

Synchronization section.

Mac Considerations

For Mac OS versions 10.4.11 or later, there is a second DynaSync setting to choose from. If the default Mouse

DynaSync result is not satisfactory, try the Mac 2 setting. To select Mac 2, right-click in the text area of the Control Panel

and select Mouse Sync Mode  Automatic for Mac 2:

7. Administration

Manual Mouse Synchronization

If the local mouse pointer becomes out of sync with the remote system’s mouse pointer, there are several methods to

return them to sync:

1. Perform a video and mouse auto sync by clicking the Video Settings icon on the Control Panel.

2. Perform an Auto Sync with the Video Adjustment function.

3. Invoke the Adjust Mouse function with the Adjust Mouse hotkeys.

4. Move the pointer into all four corners of the screen (in any order).

5. Drag the Control Panel to a different position on the screen.

6. Set the mouse speed and acceleration for each problematic server attached to the switch. See 8.9 Additional

Mouse Synchronization Procedures for details.

Control Panel Configuration

Clicking the Control Panel icon opens a dialog box that allows you to configure the items that appear on the

Control Panel, as well as its graphical settings:

The organization of the dialog box is described in the table below:

Item Description

Notes:

• The Session page is not available for ordinary users.

• Users with User Management permissions can only see the sessions of ordinary users.

• The sort order of the information displayed can be changed by clicking the column headings.

The meanings of the headings at the top of the page are straightforward. The lP heading refers to the IP address that

the user has logged in from, the Login Time and Client tell you when and how the user logged in and the Category

heading lists the type of user who has logged in: Admin (Administrator); Normal user (User).

This page also gives the administrator the option of forcing a user logout by selecting the user and clicking End Session

at the bottom of the main panel.

7.7.7 Access

Administrators use the Access page to set user access and configuration rights for ports.

Note: The Access page only appears for users with User Management permissions. It is not available for other users.

7.7.8 Port Configuration

The Port Configuration page displays status information and allows you to set the properties of a port that has been

selected in the Sidebar.

• The Status panel provides information as to whether port is online or offline, the Adapter cable used to connect the

server (or other device) to the port and the Adapter’s firmware level.

• The Properties panel allows you to make configuration settings for the selected port.

• The Exit Macro panel contains a drop-down list of user created System macros. You can select a macro from the list

that will execute when exiting the remote server.

7. Administration

An explanation of the configuration fields is provided in the table below:

Field Explanation

Port OS

Species the operating system that the server on the connected port is using. Choices are Win,

Mac, Sun, and Other. The default is Win.

OS Language

Species the OS language being used by the server on the connected port. Use the drop down to

see the available choices. The default is English US.

Cable Length

Species the length of the Cat5e/6 cable that is used to connect the server to the port. Choices are

Short (less than 33 ft./10 m), Medium (33-82 ft./10-25 m), and Long (greater than 82 ft./25 m). The

default is Short.

Note: Cable length can aect video quality. Shorter cables oer better quality. This setting is designed to compensate

for longer or shorter cable lengths. You can experiment to nd the setting that best suits your connection.

Access Mode

Denes how the port is to be accessed when multiple users have logged on:

Exclusive: The rst user to switch to the port has exclusive control over the port. No other users

can view the port. The Timeout function does not apply to ports which have this setting.

Occupy: The rst user to switch to the port has control over the port. However, additional users

may view the port’s video display. If the user who controls the port is inactive for longer than the

time set in the Timeout box, port control is transferred to the rst user to move the mouse or strike

the keyboard.

Share: Users simultaneously share control over the port. Input from the users is placed in a queue

and executed chronologically.

Exit Macro

The Exit Macro panel contains a drop-down list box of user created System macros. You can select

a macro from the list that will execute when exiting the remote server.

7.7.9 Associated Link

The Associated Links page provides a method of associating other ports on the same switch to the selected port. This

function is primarily intended to be used when connecting both KVM and serial ports from a single server to the switch.

• To associate a port with the currently selected one, click Add. In the dialog box that appears, key in the port’s

number, then click OK. The port’s number and name appear in the main panel.

• To remove an unwanted associated port, select it in the main panel, then click Remove.

menu bar:

Use Occupy Timeout Mode to set a time threshold for users on ports whose Operation Mode has been set to Occupy

(see 7.7.8 Port Configuration). If there is no activity from the user occupying the port for the amount of time set here,

the user is timed out and keyboard and mouse control on the port is released, after which the first user to send

keyboard or mouse input will occupy the port. However, the user originally connected to the port will still see the port’s

video output.

Input a value from 0 to 255 seconds. The default is 3 seconds. A setting of 0 causes the port to be released the instant

there is no input.

The default is 5 times.

Timeout

Sets the amount of time a remote computer must wait before attempting to login again after it has

exceeded the number of allowed failures. The default is 3 minutes.

Lock Client PC

If this is enabled, after the allowed number of failures have been exceeded the computer

attempting to log in from that IP is automatically locked out. No logins from that computer will be

accepted. The default is enabled.

Note: If the IP is changed, the computer will no longer be locked out.

Lock Account

If this is enabled, after the allowed number of failures have been exceeded, the user attempting to

be accepted. The default is enabled.

Note: If Login Failures is not enabled, users can attempt to log in an unlimited number of times with no restrictions. For security purposes,

we recommend you enable this function and enable the lockout policies.

Filter

• IP and MAC Filtering

IP and MAC Filters control access to the B064C-16-1-IP based on the IP and/or MAC addresses of the client

computers attempting to connect. A maximum of 100 IP filters and 100 MAC filters are allowed. If any filters have

been configured, they appear in the IP Filter and/or MAC Filter list boxes.

To enable IP and/or MAC filtering, Click to put a check mark in the lP Filter Enable and/or MAC Filter Enable checkbox.

• If the include button is checked, all the addresses within the filter range are allowed access; all other addresses are

denied access.

• If the exclude button is checked, all the addresses within the filter range are denied access; all other addresses are

allowed access.

• Adding Filters

To add an IP filter:

1. Click Add. A script prompt dialog box appears.

2. Specify whether you are filtering an IPv4 or IPv6 address.

3. Key the address you want to filter in the From: field.

o To filter a single IP address, click to put a check in the Single lP checkbox.

o To filter a continuous range of addresses, key in the end number of the range in the To: field.

Note: This description is for the AP GUI. The Browser GUI differs as follows:

3. Repeat these steps for any additional MAC addresses you want to filter.

• IP Filter / MAC Filter Conflict

If there is a conflict between an IP filter and a MAC filter (e.g., if a computer’s address is allowed by one filter but

blocked by the other), then the blocking filter takes precedence (the computer’s access is blocked).

• Modifying Filters

To modify a filter, select it in the IP Filter or MAC Filter list boxes and click Modify. The Modify dialog box is similar to

the Add dialog box. When it opens, simply delete the old address(es) and replace with the new one(s).

• Deleting Filters

To delete a filter, select it in the IP Filter or MAC Filter list box and click Delete.

The Login String entry field lets the super administrator specify a login string (in addition to the IP address) that users

must add to the IP address when they access the B064C-16-1-IP with a browser.

For example, if 192.168.0.126 were the IP address, and abcdefg were the login string, then the user would key in:

192.168.0.126/abcdefg

Notes:

• Users must place a forward slash between the IP address and the string.

• If no login string is specified here, anyone will be able to access the B064C-16-1-IP login page using the IP address alone. This makes your

installation less secure.

The meanings of the Account Policy entries are explained in the table below:

Entry Explanation

Minimum

Username

Length

Sets the minimum number of characters required for a username. Acceptable values are from

1-16. The default is 6.

Minimum

Password Length

Sets the minimum number of characters required for a password. Acceptable values are from

0-16. A setting of 0 means that no password is required. Users can login with only a Username. The

default is 6.

Password Must

Contain At Least

Checking any of these items requires users to include at least one uppercase letter, one lowercase

letter or one number in their password.

Note: This policy only aects user accounts created after this policy has been enabled and password changes

to existing user accounts. Users accounts created before this policy was enabled and there is no change to the

existing passwords are not aected.

Enforce

Password History

Checking this box will require users to create a unique password that does not match the last x

passwords they’ve used prior. X equals the number entered in the dialog box.

Encryption

These flexible encryption alternatives for keyboard/mouse and video let you choose any combination of DES; 3DES;

AES; RC4; or a Random cycle of any or all of them.

Enabling encryption affects system performance and no encryption offers the best performance. The greater the

encryption, the greater the adverse effect. If you enable encryption, the performance considerations are as follows:

• RC4 offers the least impact on performance; DES is next; followed by 3DES or AES.

• The RC4 + DES combination offers the least impact of any combination.

Mode

An explanation of the Mode items is provided in the table, below:

Item Explanation

Enable ICMP

If ICMP is enabled, the B064C-16-1-IP can be pinged. If it is not enabled, the device cannot be

pinged. The default is Enabled.

Enable Multiuser

Operation

Enabling Multiuser operation permits up to 32 users to log in at the same time to share the remote

bus. If not enabled, only one user can log in at a time. The default is Enabled.

Enable Browser

Enabling Browser Service allows the administrator to restrict browser access to the KVM over IP

switch. After checking Browser Service, use the drop down list to select the degree of restriction:

Disable Browser: No browser access is permitted.

Disable HTTP: Browser access is permitted, but users must access the switch with an HTTPS URL.

Disable HTTPS: Browser access is permitted, but users must access the switch with an HTTP URL.

Private Certificate

When logging in over a secure (SSL) connection, a signed certificate is used to verify that the user is logging in to the

intended site. For enhanced security, the Private Certificate section allows you to use your own private encryption key

and signed certificate, rather than the default certificate.

There are two methods for establishing your private certificate: generating a self-signed certificate and importing a

third-party certificate authority (CA) signed certificate.

• Generating a Self-Signed Certificate

If you wish to create your own self-signed certificate, a free utility - openssl.exe - is available for download over the

web. See 7.1.3 Self-Signed Private Certificates for details about using OpenSSL to generate your own private key

and SSL certificate.

• Obtaining a CA Signed SSL Server Certificate

For the greatest security, we recommend using a third-party certificate authority (CA) signed certificate. To obtain a

third-party signed certificate, go to a CA (Certificate Authority) website to apply for an SSL certificate. After the CA

sends you the certificate and private encryption key, save them to a convenient location on your computer.

• Importing the Private Certificate

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

it.

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

3. Click Upload to complete the procedure.

Notes:

Clicking Restore Default returns the device to using the default certificate.

Both the private encryption key and the signed certificate must be imported at the same time.

Certificate Signing Request

The Certificate Signing Request (CSR) section provides an automated way of obtaining and installing a CA signed SSL

server certificate.

103

7. Administration

To perform this operation:

1. Click Create CSR. The following dialog box appears:

2. Fill in the form with entries that are valid for your site.

Information Example

Country (2 letter code) US

State or Providence USA Eaton State (i.e. IL)

Locality USA

Organization Your Company, Ltd.

Common Name

mycompany.com

Note: This must be the exact domain name of the site that you want the certicate to

be valid for. If the site’s domain name is www.mycompany.com, and you only specify

mycompany.com, the certicate will not be valid.

E-mail Address [email protected]

3. After filling in the form (all fields are required), click Create.

A self-signed certificate based on the information you just provided is now stored on the KVM over IP switch.

4. Click Get CSR and save the certificate file (csr.cer) to a convenient location on your computer.

This is the file that you give to the third-party CA to apply for their signed SSL certificate.

5. After the CA sends you the certificate, save it to a convenient location on your computer. Click Browse to locate the

file, then click Upload to store it on the KVM over IP switch.

Note: When you upload the file, the KVM over IP switch checks the file to make sure the specified information still matches. If it does,

the file is accepted; if not, it is rejected.

If you want to remove the certificate (to replace it with a new one because of a domain name change, for example),

simply click Remove CSR.

Toolbar Hotkey Port Switching

When the toolbar displays, you can use hotkeys to provide KVM focus to a port directly from the keyboard. The B064C-

16-1-IP provides the following hotkey features:

• Going directly to a port by keying in its port number and clicking Enter.

• Auto Scanning

• Skip Mode Switching

The hotkeys are: A and P for Auto Scanning and the Arrow Keys for Skip Mode.

Notes:

• For hotkey operations to take place, the toolbar must be visible (see 7.13.2 Port Toolbar).

• To use the keys designated as hotkeys (i.e. A, P, etc.) for normal, non-hotkey purposes, you must first close the toolbar.

• For issues affecting multiple user operation in Auto Scan Mode, see 7.13.4 Multiuser Operation.

Auto Scanning

The Scan function automatically switches among all the ports that are accessible to the currently logged on user at

regular intervals so the user can monitor their activity automatically.

• Setting the Scan Interval

The amount of time Auto Scan dwells on each port is set with the Scan Duration setting.

• Invoking Auto Scan

To start Auto Scanning with the toolbar showing tap the A key. The Auto Scan function cycles through the ports in

order starting from the first port on the installation. An

appears in front of the Port ID Display to indicate the port is

being accessed in Auto Scan Mode.

• Pausing Auto Scan

While you are in Auto Scan Mode, you can pause scanning to better maintain focus on a particular server by pressing

P. During the time that Auto Scanning is paused, the S in front of the Port ID will blink.

Pausing when you want to maintain focus on a particular server can be more convenient than exiting Auto Scan Mode

because when you Resume scanning, you start from where you left off. If on the other hand, you were to exit and

then restart Auto Scan Mode, the scanning would start over from the very first server on the installation.

To Resume Auto Scanning after a pause, press any key except [Esc] or the [Spacebar]. Scanning continues from where

it left off.

• Exiting Auto Scan

While Auto Scan Mode is in effect, ordinary keyboard functions are suspended. You must exit Auto Scan Mode to

regain normal control of the keyboard. To exit Auto Scan Mode, press [Esc] or [Spacebar]. Auto Scanning stops

when you exit Auto Scan Mode.

Skip Mode

Skip Mode allows you to switch ports to monitor the servers manually. You can focus on a particular port for as long or

as little as you like (as opposed to Auto Scanning, which automatically switches after a fixed interval). The Skip Mode

hotkeys are the four Arrow keys.

Arrow Action

Skips from the current port to the rst accessible port previous to it.

Skips from the current port to the rst accessible port that comes after it.

computers, the rules of precedence that apply are shown in the following table:

Operation Rule

General

The switches utilize a single shared bus implementation. Although they support local and remote

remote user has already opened a session, the local user sees the same screen that the remote

user is working on

Auto Scan Mode

If a user has invoked Auto Scan Mode and another user logs on, at rst the new user will see the

GUI Main Page. However, as soon as they access any port, they will automatically enter Auto Scan

Mode.

Any user can halt Auto Scan Mode by recalling the GUI Main Page. When this occurs, Auto Scan

Mode stops and all the other users on the bus are switched to the port that was being accessed

when Auto Scan Mode stopped.

Panel Array

Mode

• If a user has invoked Panel Array Mode and another user logs on, the new user will enter the GUI

Main Page. However as soon as they access any port, they will automatically enter Panel Array

Mode.

• Panel Array Mode continues until the original user stops it (Administrators can override Panel

Array Mode, however).

• Only the user who starts Panel Array Mode can use the Skip Mode function.

• Only the user who starts Panel Array Mode can switch ports. Other users automatically switch to

the ports that the original user selects. However, if one of the other users does not have access

rights to the port that the original user switches to, that user will not be able to view the port.

• Individual users can increase or decrease the number of panels they wish to view in Panel Array

Mode. However, the picture quality may decrease as the number of panels increases.

7.14.3 The Log Server Main Screen

The Log Server Main Screen is divided into two main panels.

• The upper (List) panel lists all units that have been selected for the Log Server to track.

• The lower (Event) panel displays the tick information for the currently selected unit (if there are more than one unit,

the selected unit is the one that is highlighted).

• To select a unit in the list, simply click on it.

7. Administration

The List Panel

The List panel contains six fields:

Field Explanation

Recording

Determines whether or not the Log Server records the ticks for this unit. If the Recording checkbox

is checked, the eld displays Recording and the ticks are recorded. If the Recording checkbox is not

checked, the eld displays Paused and the ticks are not recorded.

Note: Even though a unit is not the currently selected one, if its Recording checkbox is checked, the Log Server will

still record its ticks.

Address This is the IP Address or DNS name that was given to the unit when it was added to the Log Server.

Port This is the Access Port number assigned to the unit.

Connection

• If the Log Server is connected to the unit, this eld will display as Connected.

• If the Log Server is not connected, this eld will display as Waiting. This means that the Log

Server’s MAC address has not been set properly and needs to be set on the Date/Time.

Days

This eld displays the number of days that the unit's log events are to be kept in the Log Server's

database before expiration.

Description

This eld displays the descriptive information given for the unit when it was added to the Log

Server.

The Event Panel

The lower panel displays log events for the currently selected unit. Note that if there is more than one unit, even

though they are not currently selected if their Recording checkbox is checked, the Log Server will record their log events

and keep them in its database.

8. Troubleshooting

8.1 Administration

Problem Resolution

After upgrading rmware, the B064C-16-1-IP still appears

to be using the old rmware version.

Your Internet browser is displaying cached web pages, not

new ones. Clear your browser cache, delete all temporary

Internet les and cookies, close the Internet browser, and

then open a new instance of the browser.

The default network setting for the B064C-16-1-IP is

DHCP, but the network uses xed IP addresses and

does not have a DHCP server.

Use the local console OSD’s F4 function to give the B064C-

16-1-IP a xed IP address.

8.2 General Operation

Problem Resolution

Erratic Operation

Press and hold the Reset Switch for longer than three

seconds.

Mouse and/or keyboard not responding due to improper

mouse and/or keyboard reset.

Unplug the cable(s) from the console port(s), then plug it

back in again.

Sudden loss of network connection due to local reset of

B064C-16-1-IP.

Close your B064C-16-1-IP connection. Wait approximately

30 seconds and log in again.

Mouse Pointer Confusion

If you nd the display of two mouse pointers (local and

remote) to be confusing or annoying, you can use the

Toggle Mouse Display function to shrink the non-functioning

pointer.

Some characters that are keyed in do not display on the

remote system

This is likely due to the local OS keyboard language and the

remote OS keyboard language being dierent. Make sure

that the keyboard language for both systems are the same.

Keyboard and/or mouse do not work after computer

boots up.

For computers with PS/2 connectors, if you are using

2L-520xP cables, make sure all connectors (keyboard,

video, and mouse) are plugged into their ports on the

computer before starting the computer. Plugging the

cables in after the computer has booted will not resolve the

problem.

When I emulate the Sun keyboard, I cannot go into OK

Mode ([Stop] [A]).

To go into OK Mode, use the following key sequence:

1. Press and release [Ctrl].

2. Press and hold [T].

3. Press and hold [A].

4. Release [T] and [A] together.

There are ghost images on the external monitor.

The distance between the external console and the

B064C-16-1-IP is too great. The maximum VGA cable

distance should not exceed 65 ft. (20 m) and in some cases,

may need to be shorter. Replace the VGA cable with one of

an appropriately short length.

I cannot set the computers’ screen resolutions higher

than 1280 x 1024, even though the B064C-16-1-IP

supports 1920 x 1200 for remote computers.

The maximum screen resolution of the B064C-16-1-IP’s

integrated LCD monitor is 1280 x 1024. To protect it from

being damaged by resolutions that are beyond its display

capability, we recommend the screen resolutions of the

connected computers be set to 1280 x 1024 or lower.

If you wish to set the screen resolutions of the connected

computers to something higher than 1280 x 1024, see 8.8

Screen Resolutions Higher than 1280 x 1024.

126

8. Troubleshooting

Problem Resolution

When I switch to one of the computers on my

installation, the LCD monitor screen goes blank. All I see

is a black screen.

The maximum screen resolution of the B064C-16-1-IP’s

integrated LCD monitor is 1280 x 1024. The screen

resolution of the problem computer is set to something

that is too high for the B064C-16-1-IP’s LCD monitor to

display.

To resolve the problem, connect an external KVM console

(with a monitor capable of displaying the problem

computer’s screen resolution) to the B064C-16-1-IP’s

external console ports. Use the external console to access

the problem computer and reduce its resolution to 1280 x

1024.

Note: Although the LCD monitor only supports video resolutions

of up to 1280 x 1024, the B064C-16-1-IP, itself can support video

resolutions up to 1920 x 1200 @ 60 Hz. If you wish to set the screen

resolutions of the connected computers to something higher than

1280 x 1024, see 8.8 Screen Resolutions Higher than 1280 x 1024

for details.

My B064C-16-1-IP unit is not listed in the Device List of

the IP Installer.

• Make sure the Broadcast function is enabled from your

switch or router for the auto-discover to work properly.

• Make sure to turn o your rewall and/or antivirus

software temporarily for the auto-discover to work

properly.

• Make sure the unit and the PC are under the same

network segment.

8.3 Windows Client

Problem Resolution

A “Login Failed” error appears and Windows Client Viewer

cannot be run.

1. Make sure your KVM over IP Switch is updated to the

latest rmware version.

2. Make sure the required service ports, such as 80, 443,

and 9000, are allowed by your rewall.

3. Close the viewer and try again.

Will not connect to the B064C-16-1-IP. DirectX 8.0 or higher must be installed on your computer.

Remote mouse pointer is out of sync.

1. Use the AutoSync feature to sync the local and remote

monitors.

2. If that does not resolve the problem, use the Adjust

Mouse feature to bring them back in sync.

3. If the two methods described above fail to resolve the

problem, use the Toggle Mouse Display function.

Part of remote window is o my monitor.

Use the AutoSync feature to synchronize the local and

remote monitors.

My antivirus program reports that there is a trojan after

I access the B064C-16-1-IP with my browser and then

open the Windows Client Viewer.

The Windows Client Viewer uses an ActiveX plug- in

(windows.ocx) that some antivirus programs mistakenly

see as a virus or trojan. We have tested our rmware

extensively and found no evidence of a virus or trojan. You

can add the plug-in to your antivirus program's White List

and use the Viewer safely. If you are reluctant to use the

Windows Client Viewer, however, you can simply use the

Java Client Viewer, instead.

127

8.4 Java Client

Problem Resolution

Java Client will not connect to the B064C-16-1-IP.

1. Java JRE 6 update 3 or higher must be installed on your

computer.

2. Make sure to include the correct name of the web page

when you specify the B064C-16-1-IP’s IP address.

3. Close the Java Client, reopen it and try again.

A "Login Failed" error appears and Java Client Viewer

cannot be run.

1. Make sure your KVM over IP Switch is updated to the

latest rmware version.

2. Make sure the required service ports, such as 80, 443,

and 9000, are allowed by your rewall.

3. Close the viewer and try again.

Pressing the Windows Menu key has no eect. Java does not support the Windows Menu key.

Java Client performance deteriorates. Exit the program and start again.

National language characters do not appear.

When entering national language characters, if your local

keyboard is set to a non-English national language layout,

you must set the remote computer's keyboard layout to

English.

8.5 Log Server

Problem Resolution

The Log Server program does not run.

The Log Server requires the Microsoft Jet OLEDB 4.0 driver

to access the database.

This driver is automatically installed with Windows ME,

2000, and XP.

For Windows 98 and NT you will have to go to the Microsoft

download site:

http://www.microsoft.com/data/download.htm to retrieve

the driver le:

MDAC 2.7 RTM Refresh (2.70.9001.0)

Since this driver is used in Windows Oce Suite, an

alternate method of obtaining it is to install Windows Oce

Suite. Once the driver le or Suite has been installed, the

Log Server will run.

8.6 Panel Array Mode

Problem Resolution

Low resolution video in Panel Array Mode. Increase the number of panels that are displayed.

Some users only receive a partial image when multiple

remote users are logged in concurrently.

The rst user to invoke Panel Array Mode should set it to

display a minimum of four panels.

manual.

8.8 Screen Resolutions Higher than 1280 x 1024

The maximum screen resolution of the B064C-16-1-IP’s integrated LCD monitor is 1280 x 1024. To protect it from being

damaged by resolutions that are beyond its display capability, we recommend the screen resolutions of the connected

computers be set to 1280 x 1024 or lower.

If you wish to display screen resolutions higher than 1280 x 1024, follow the procedure described below.

Notes:

• We strongly recommend you close the B064C-16-1-IP LCD console before continuing (see 6.1.2 Closing the Console). Using the LCD

monitor to view computers that are set to resolutions that exceed its maximum capability can damage it and shorten its life span.

• To access computers from the external local console when the integrated console is closed, simply connect an external KVM console with

a monitor that supports 1920 x 1200 @ 60 Hz to the B064C-16-1-IP’s external console ports.

1. From a remote computer, log in to the B064C-16-1-IP and access the computer whose screen resolution you wish to

change.

2. Open the computer’s Control Panel and double-click Display. The Display Properties dialog box will appear.

3. Click the Settings tab, then click Advanced.

4. In the dialog box that appears, click the Monitor tab.

5. Under Monitor settings, click to clear the Hide modes that this monitor cannot display check box.

6. Click Apply.

7. Click the Adapter tab, then click List All Modes. The List All Modes dialog box appears.

8. Under List of valid modes, select the display mode that you want the computer to use.

Note: The maximum screen resolution and refresh rate that the supported for the external local console and remote computers is

1920 x 1200 @60 Hz.

129

9. Click OK, and then click Apply. The display mode will change to the one you selected.

10. If the Monitor Settings dialog box appears requesting you to confirm the settings change, click Yes.

11. After the Monitor Settings dialog box closes, click OK.

12. In the Display Properties dialog box, click OK.

Repeat these steps for any other computer whose screen resolution you wish to change.

8.9 Additional Mouse Synchronization Procedures

If the mouse synchronization procedures mentioned in the manual fail to resolve mouse pointer problems for

particular computers, try the following:

Notes:

• These procedures are to be performed on the computers attached to the B064C-16-1-IP’s ports, not on the computer you are using to

access the B064C-16-1-IP.

• For the local and remote mice to synchronize, you must use the generic mouse driver supplied with the Windows operating system. If you

have a third party driver installed (such as one supplied by the mouse manufacturer), you must remove it.
