Logging In Via The Ap Java Client; Web Browser And Non-Browser Remote Port Access - Tripp Lite B020-U08-19-IP Owner's Manual

6. KVM Operation

6.5.3 Logging In via the AP Java Client

Computers not running Windows can use the AP Java Client located on the
CD to provide non-browser access to the KVM switch.
Note: The AP Java Client requires that the Java Runtime Environment
(JRE) be installed on your computer. The JRE is available for free
download from the Java web site (http://java.com).
1. Save the AP Java Client from the CD to a desired location on your
computer.
2. Double-click on the file you just saved. If this is the first time that
you are running the utility, a dialog box appears requesting you to
input your serial number. The serial number can be found on the CD
that comes with the B020-U08-19-IP. Key in the serial number (5
characters per box), then click OK.
3. Upon entering the serial number, the AP Java Client connect prompt
appears, asking you to enter in the IP address and Port of the KVM
you wish to connect to. Enter in this information and click the
Connect button. Note: The default port number assigned to the KVM
is 9000.

6.6 Web Browser and Non-Browser Remote Port Access

When accessing the KVM switch over IP, the connected computers can
be accessed using either Windows or Java applications. Regardless of
which application you use, or whether you log in via browser or AP client,
operation of the KVM switch is the same, the only difference is in how
you login and connect to the KVM. When logging in via the AP Windows
and Java clients, you are brought directly to the connected computers
and the Remote OSD is displayed. When logging in via web browser,
you are brought to a KVM management web interface, which includes
Windows Client and Java Applet applications for accessing the connected
computers. Those who login using Internet Explorer will be able to access
both the Windows Client and Java Applet, whereas users who login using
another browser only have access to the Java Applet. Once logged into the
web interface via browser, click on the Windows Client or Java Applet icon
to open the applications and access the connected computers. The same as
with the AP clients, once the Windows Client and Java Applet are opened,
the screen of the first connected computer on the installation that you have
access to is displayed, as well as the Remote OSD.
Note: The Java applet requires that the Java Runtime Environment (JRE)
be installed on your computer. The JRE is available for free download
from the Java web site (http://java.com).

4. A prompt appears asking you to enter your username and password.
If accessing the KVM for the first time, enter in the username
administrator and the password password. For security purposes, it
is strongly recommended that you change the username and password
on this account to something unique.
5. When you have entered your username and password, the screen of the
first connected computer on the installation that you have access to is
displayed, as well as the Remote OSD.
