7.4 Log in to the IPViewer There are three available versions of the viewing application named IPviewer to access the KLE-Z on different platforms (Windows®, Java®, Android®.) The KLE-Z captures the video from its attached computer and transmits it to the IPViewer application. It also receives the signals from the keyboard and mouse attached to the KLE-Z and emulates an USB keyboard and a mouse on the attached computer.
Page 15
3. In the Connection Dialog window, key in the access address for the IPViewer <IP_address>:<TCP Port Base> then click Connect. After the KLE-Z is identified, the IPViewer will pop up an User Authentication window. Key in the User ID (i.e. superuser) and Password (superu) respectively and click OK to proceed.

VIII. KLE-Z Web Management Instructions The KLE-Z Web Management is the main administrative interface for the KLE-Z unit. This chapter will go into details to introduce more useful instructions in each sections. You could also get more instructive information by clicking the Help hyperlink on each page. 8.1 Download Refer to the subsection 7.4.1 Downloading the IPViewers.
8.3 Virtual Media 8.3.1 Remote Virtual Media When running the IPViewer, the user could share a DVD/CDROM, an USB drive, or even an ISO file at a remote location with the computers attached to the KLE-Z at a local location. For example, as the computer at the remote location running the IPViewer application shares its CDROM drive, the computer attached to the KLE-Z will see a removable mass storage device appeared for its access.
Page 18
8.3.2 Local Virtual Media KLE-Z can access over the LAN to an ISO file shared at the local location by a Windows® computer using SMB Share protocol, or by a Linux® computer with Samba Server functioning the same. Similar to the Remote Virtual Media feature as aforementioned, the KLE-Z emulates an ISO file at the local location as a removable mass storage for the KLE-Z's local attached computers.

8.4 KVM Server 8.4.1 KVM Server Log The Server Log keeps detailed records of events, errors, user logins and logouts, video modes, etc. It also records each login attempt, even for an unsuccessful one. It provides various technical details such as compression ratio, encoding scheme, and bytes transmitted.

8.4.3 Viewer Connection Settings This page correlates to IPViewer's connection settings: ■ Assign a Server Name for the IPViewer, i.e. KLE-Z, as displayed on the title bar of the IPViewer window. ■ Select a Keyboard layout you are using which is consistent with the KLE-Z's attached computers. ■...
8.4.5 Computer Settings In this page you must provide every required information for each of the attached computers: ■ Computer Name: Assign a name to an attached computer. ■ Computer Type: Standard (Non-Mac OS X platforms) or Mac OS X. ■...

8.5 Users 8.5.1 List of Viewer Connections This page shows a list of connected users that are using IPViewer to connect with the KLE-Z. Note: This list of connected users will not be generated when the password policy option (Refer to subsection 8.2.2 Security Settings) is set as No Password or Global Password since the distinction of user identities is unnecessary when these policies are adpoted.
8.5.4 Radius Accounting The Radius Accounting allows you to record user connection and disconnection events on a remote Radius Accounting server. The Radius Accounting is not correlated to RADIUS server or LDAP server features that can be used to authenticate users from a centralized server. The Enable Radius Accounting option is disabled by default.

X. Connection Options Window 10.1 Compression Specify an appropriate video compression type that the KLE-Z applies to trasmit the compressed video to the IPViewer application. The compression types are listed from lowest to highest in data volume. Note that a low video compression type (higher data volume) requires more processing time for the KLE-Z thus it takes longer to be displayed on the IPViewer application.
Normal: This is the default setting. We highly recommend apply this option since you can click on an ● element on the screen using the remote cursor intuitively without worrying whether the local cursor has already reached the element or not. 10.3 Session A session can be set as public or private.
