DHCP is enabled, some of these values may be supplied automatically.
Clicking the Commit button applies any changes made on this page, but leaves the

old settings active until the next time the unit restarts. Clicking Make changes effective

now applies the changes and restarts the IP KVM so the new settings take effect

immediately.
Ethernet Address (MAC Address): This is the Ethernet hardware address of this unit’s

LAN port. It is set at the factory and cannot be changed. You may need this number to

configure your DHCP server.
Dynamic DNS Configuration: Dynamic DNS (DDNS) is a method, protocol, or network

service that allows a networked device using the Internet Protocol Suite to notify

a domain name server to change, in real time, the active DNS configuration of its

configured hostnames, addresses or other information stored in DNS.
Numerous providers, called Dynamic DNS service providers, offer such technology

and services on the Internet. They provide a software client program that automates

this function. The client program is executed on a computer or device in the private

network. It connects to the service provider’s systems and causes those systems to link

the discovered public IP address of the home network with a hostname in the domain

name system. Depending on the provider, the hostname is registered within a domain

owned by the provider or the customer’s own domain name.

User Accounts

This menu will allow you to add accounts

other than admin to the system. These

accounts will not have the authority to

change settings, but can access the Web

interface and log into the VNC console.

Selecting Delete permanently removes

the user from the system. If you enter

values for a user that does not already

exist under Edit User Details, the system

will create that user for you when you

click Record changes. If the user already exists, you may change the password for that

user.
