Page 39: Virtual Drive
CD-ROMs and other removable devices like USB sticks can be redirected. It is even possible to enable a write support so that for the remote machine it is possible to write data to your local disc. Please note that Drive Redirection works on a level which is far below the operating system. -
Page 40: Cd/Dvd Image
Set this option to disable the mass storage emulation (and hide the virtual drive) if not mounting a image file or drive to the host system. To set this option, press the button “Apply”. Note: If unset, and no file image will be found it may happen that the host system will hang on boot due to changes in the boot order, or the boot manager (LILO, GRUB). - Page 41 Notes: The output image extension file name has to be ‘iso’, e.g. CD-Rom_vir.iso. You may create an ISO image size up to 650Mb (for CD-ROM). This drive would be in read-only mode and would not allow you to write any information on this drive but copying only.

Page 42: User Management
5.3 User Management On an IP-KVM, each user name has settings and permissions associated with it. Settings affect how the user interfaces with the Remote Console. Permissions allow or forbid the user from performing various actions on the IP-KVM’s web pages. A newly assigned user has permissions inherited from an assigned group, if any, or individual permissions if no group is assigned. -
Page 43: Kvm Settings
The IKVM-17080 / IKVM-17160 comes with 1 pre-configured user account that has fixed permissions. The account “super” has all possible rights to configure the device and to use all functions IP-KVM offers. Upon delivery, the account “super” has the password “pass”. Make sure to change password immediately after you have installed and on initial access of your IP-KVM. - Page 44 User select box This selection box displays the user ID for which the values are shown and for which the changes will take effect. You may change the settings of other users if you have the required privileges.

Password You have used this password during your manual registration with the Dynamic DNS Server. Check time The IP-KVM registers itself for initiating the IP address of IP-KVM stored in the Dynamic DNS server at this time. Check interval This is the interval for reporting again to the Dynamic DNS server for updating the IP address associated with the Domain Name of the IP-KVM. - Page 53 If set to “Force” the applet tries to make an encrypted connection with certificate. An error will be reported in case connection establishment fails. Group-based System Access Control This is the IP filtering function, it keeps unauthorized hosts from accessing to the IP-KVM by specifying IP filtering rules.

Page 54: Certificate
5.5.4 Certificate The IP-KVM uses the Secure Socket Layer (SSL) protocol for any encrypted network traffic between itself and a connected client. During the connection establishment the IP-KVM has to expose its identity to a client using a cryptographic certificate. The default certificate comes with IP-KVM device upon delivery is for testing purpose only. -
