7. Administration

7.2.4 Connections

The OSD Main page is the same screen that you get when navigating
to the Connections sub-section of the Port Access section. From this
page you can connect to the KVM ports.
All switches and their ports, including cascaded KVM switches, are
listed in a tree structure in the panel at the left of the screen:
When accessing a port for the first time via web browser, users will
experience a series of prompts:
Internet Explorer
When logging onto the KVM switch via Internet Explorer, the default
viewer is the Windows ActiveX viewer. To use the Java Viewer when
accessing the KVM switch via Internet Explorer, you need to update
the Viewer setting in the User Preferences page (See User
Preferences section under OSD Operation for details).
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 Explore as an
administrator, you will not be able to access the connected computers.
1. When using the Windows ActiveX Viewer and clicking on a port for
the first time, a screen will open up and you will be prompted to
install the Windows ActiveX control. Click on the prompt and
choose to install the ActiveX control.
Note: The screen that opens up may display a page that says the
web pages certificate can not be trusted. If this is the case, click
on the option to continue to the web page anyway.
( continued )
2. When you install the ActiveX control, you may be prompted to
resend the information in order to display the web page. Click
Retry.
3. Lastly, you will be prompted to install the software. Click Install.
Non-Windows Browser
When using a non-Windows browser, you will automatically be
connected to remote computers using the Java Viewer.
1. When clicking on a port for the first time, you will be prompted to
run the Java Viewer. Click ok. (To avoid this prompt every time
you access a port, check the checkbox next to Do this
automatically for files like this from now on.)
2. You will then be prompted to run the Java Viewer, and trust the
publisher (Tripp Lite). Click Run.
