User Management – Port Access
The Port Access button at the bottom of the User Management Add User
and Edit User screens allow port access to be customized for each
account. Although user accounts can be created, edited and deleted using
both the Web Management Interface and the Remote OSD, the only place
Port Access settings can be edited is in the Remote OSD. In this page,
access can be toggled between three access types by clicking on the field
next to the corresponding port, or by highlighting the desired port and
using the [+] or [-] keys on the number pad of the keyboard. By default,
all accounts have Full Access to all computers on the installation.
• FullAccess:The user has the ability to both view and perform
keyboard/mouse operations on the corresponding computer.
• ViewOnlyAccess:The user only has the ability to view the
corresponding computer’s video.
• NoAccess:The user has no access to the corresponding computer.

Network – Access Ports
If a firewall is being used, these fields allow administrators to specify port
numbers that the firewall will allow. The firewall must be set to allow
access to these ports. If an invalid port number (or no port number) is
specifiedinthefirewall,theKVMswitchwillnotbefound.
An explanation of the Access Port fields is given in the table:
Port Description
Program This is the port number that must be specified when con-
necting to the KVM via the AP Windows or Java client.
The default is 9000.
HTTP This port number is for a browser login. The default is 80.
HTTPS This port number is for a secure browser login. The
default is 443.
Note: A different value must be set for each access port. If there is no
firewall, it doesn’t matter what these numbers are set to, since they have
no effect.
