17. Log Server

The Windows-based Log Server is an administrative utility that records all the events on selected B064-Series KVM Switch units and writes
them to a searchable database.

17.1 Installation

1. From the computer designated as the Log Server, open the browser and log in to the KVM Switch.
2. Download the Log Server by clicking on the Download Icon at the top of the page and selecting it from the drop-down list.
3. Navigate to where the Log Server file is saved and double-click to open. Ignore any security warning dialog boxes that appear and click Run
or Open. The Log Server installation screen will appear.
4. Click Next. Then follow the onscreen instructions to complete the installation and have the Log Server program icon showing on the
desktop.
5. Before opening the Log Server, go to the Device Management section of the KVM switch web interface and open the ANMS tab. In the
corresponding fields, enter the MAC Address and Port Number for the computer/server that the Log Server is installed on (refer to 12.1
Advanced Network Management Settings for more information).

17.2 Opening the Log Server

To open the Log Server, either double-click the program icon or enter the full path to the program on the command line. The first time the
program is run, a screen as shown below will appear:
Note: The Log Server requires the Microsoft Jet OLEDB 4.0 driver in order to access the database.
The screen is divided into three components:
• A Menu Bar at the top
• A panel that will contain a list of all B064-Series KVM Switch units in the middle
• A panel that will contain an Events List at the bottom

17.3 Menu Bar

The Menu bar consists of four drop-down menus:
