Logging Into the B051-000-AC
The B051-000-AC IP remote access unit can be accessed in several ways: local console, web browser, non-browser Windows or Java client.
This section describes the login procedures for each of these methods.
Local Console Login
When accessing the unit via the local console, there is no login required except for what is required to access the connected computer or
KVM switch. The local keyboard, monitor and mouse function the same as if they were connected directly to the computer or KVM.
Web Browser Login
To log into the IP remote access unit via web browser, follow the steps below. Note: Windows Vista and 7 users who intend to use the
unit's Virtual Media feature must run Internet Explorer as an administrator. (See Virtual Media section in the Owner's Manual for details.)
1. Open your browser and enter the IP address of the B051-000-AC
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 following
the IP address. For example, to access a B051-000-AC with an
IP address of 192.168.0.60 and a login string of B051000AC,
you would enter the URL as 192.168.0.60/B051000AC.
2. When logging in for the first time, a security alert 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 in the browser's list of
trusted certificates.
