Accessing the B064-Series KVM Switch

The B064-Series KVM Switches can be accessed in the following ways: via local console, an internet browser, the AP Windows Client and/or
the AP Java Client. Operating the KVM switch and configuring its settings is done the same regardless of how you connect to the B064-Series
KVM Switch; the only difference is the way in which you establish the connection. This chapter describes the login procedures for each of these
methods.

Local Console Login

As described at the beginning of Chapter 3, Super Administrator Setup, the local console login dialog box is displayed once the installation is
complete. When the local console is attached, and there is no user logged in, the login screen will appear on the display. Simply key in your
Username and Password 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.

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
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-IP would have a URL
such as 192.168.0.100/B064-032-04-IP)
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: There is a red and white X over the certificate to indicate
that it is not trusted.
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.
