Introduction

Remote Console Computer Requirements

• Browsers must support TLS 1.2 encryption
• For the browser-based Java Applet and non-browser AP Java
Client, the latest version of Sun's Java Runtime Environment
( JRE) must be installed, and 250 MB of memory available
after installation
• For the Log Server, you must have the Microsoft Jet OLEDB
4.0 or higher driver installed
• For best results, we recommend that the computers used
to access the switch have at least a Pentium 4, 2 GHz
processor and at least 1 GB RAM, with their screen
resolution at least set to 1024 x 768

Connected Computer/Server Requirements

Computers/servers to be connected to the B064-Series KVM
Switch must have the following:
• VGA, SVGA or Multisync port

Server Interface Units (SIUs)

Cat5e/6 cable is required to connect the B064-Series KVM Switches to one of the Server Interface Units (SIUs). The following SIUs
are required for use with the B064 Series KVM Switch:
Function
Connect to a computer/server with PS/2 ports – 164 ft. (50 m) Max Distance
Connect to a computer/server with PS/2 ports – 164 ft. (50 m) Max Distance
Connect to a computer/server with USB ports – No Virtual Media Support; 164 ft. (50 m) Max Distance
Connect to a computer/server with USB ports – No Virtual Media Support; 164 ft. (50 m) Max Distance
Connect to a Sun computer/server with USB ports – 164 ft. (50 m) Max Distance
Connect to a computer/server with USB ports – Supports Virtual Media; 164 ft. (50 m) Max Distance
Connect to a serial based device – 492 ft. (150 m) Max Distance
Note: SIUs that were purchased prior to that of your KVM switch may require a firmware upgrade in order for them to work properly (see
Maintenance under OSD Operation section for details).

Supported Operating Systems

Supported operating systems for computer/servers that
connect to the B064-Series KVM switches are shown in the
table at right:
Supported operating systems for users that remotely log
into the B064-Series KVM Switches include Windows XP and
higher, and those capable of running Sun's Java Runtime
Environment ( JRE) 6, Update 3, or higher.
4
• For best results, a network transfer speed of at least
512 kbps is recommended
• For the browser-based Windows Client, DirectX 8 must be
installed, and at least 150MB of memory available after
installation
• For the non-browser AP Windows client, DirectX 8 must
be installed, and at least 90MB of memory available after
installation
