• PPP (Point-to-Point Protocol) must be used; no other authentication methods are
supported.
• TCP/IP must be installed/enabled on the computer making the connection, and
must be used for the dial-up connection.
• The connection must be configured to obtain a dynamic IP address.
• The user name/password must match a user currently configured on the IP KVM.
• For best performance and to simplify the troubleshooting process, firewall software
should not be used with the dial-up connection.
