Logging Into the B064-Series KVM Switch (continued)
Browser Login
The B064-Series KVM Switches can be accessed via Internet browser
from any platform that has the Java Runtime Environment 6, Update
3, or higher installed. If you don’t already have the required JRE
installed, it is available for free download from the Java web site:
www.java.com
Note: Windows 7 users must run Internet Explorer as an
administrator for the Active X control to work properly. If you don’t
run Internet Explorer as an administrator, you will not be able to
access the connected computers.
To access the switch via browser, do the following:
1. Open the browser and specify the IP address of the B064-Series
KVM Switch you want to access, as given to you by your system
administrator.
Note: For security purposes, a login string may have been set by the
administrator. If so, you must include a forward slash and the login
string along with the IP address when you log in. (For example, a
computer with a login string of
B064-032-04-IPG would have a URL
such as 192.168.0.100/B064-032-04-IPG)
2. When you try to log into the device from your browser, a Security
Alert message appears to inform you that the device’s certificate is
not trusted, and asks 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:
• If you are working on a computer other than your own, accept the
certificate for just this session by clicking Yes.
• If you are working at your own computer, install the certificate.
After the certificate is installed, it will be recognized as trusted. To
install the certificate, do the following:
a) In the Security Alert dialog box, click View Certificate. The
Certificate Information dialog box appears.
Note: You may need to run Internet Explorer as an Administrator
in order to view and install the certificate.
b) Click Install Certificate.
c) Follow the Installation Wizard to complete the installation.
Unless you have a specific reason to choose otherwise, accept the
default options.
d) When the Wizard presents a caution screen, click Yes.
e) Click Finish to complete the installation and click OK to close
the dialog box. The certificate is now trusted.
Upon installing the certificate or accepting the unrecognized
certificate for the current session, the browser login dialog box
appears.
3. Provide a valid Username and Password (set by the KVM switch’s
administrator), and click Login to bring up the OSD Main Page.
Note: If you supply an invalid login, the authentication routine will
return an Invalid Username or Password message. If you see this
message, log in again being careful to enter the correct Username
and Password.
AP Windows Client Login
In some cases, the Administrator may not want the B064-Series KVM
Switches to be available via browser. The Windows AP Client allows
Windows systems users access to the KVM switch without having to
go through a browser.
The AP Windows Client can be found in the Download Section of the
OSD or on the CD that came with your B064-Series KVM Switch.
If you do not have access to the CD, and browser access to the KVM
switch has already been disabled, you will need to obtain the file from
your system administrator. Once you have saved the AP Windows
Client, go to its location and double-click the WinClient.exe icon to
bring up the Windows Client Connection Screen.
Note:
1. If you have trouble opening the AP Windows Client, save it to your
desktop and try again.
2. When accessing the AP Windows Client for the first time, you will
be prompted to provide a serial number. This serial number can be
found on the CD that came with your KVM.
