IP Installer Settings
An IP InstallerutilityisprovidedontheCDthatcomeswiththeKVMswitch,whichgivesyouasimplewaytoascertainandconfiguretheKVM’sIP
address.Wheninvoked,theIP Installer scansthenetworkforB020-U08-19-IPdevicesanddisplaystheonesitfinds.Thesettingsfoundinthispage
limit what the IP Installer is allowed to do. These settings are described in the table:
Setting Description
Enabled When this setting is checked, the IP Installer can be used to both view and configure the IP address information of the KVM switch.
View Only When this setting is checked, the IP Installer can be used to view the IP address information of the KVM switch, but can not be used to con-
figure the IP address.
Disabled When this setting is check, the IP Installer is not permitted to view or configure the IP address information of the KVM switch.
Note: After making any network changes, make sure that the Reset on exit checkbox in the Customization page is checked before logging out of the KVM
switch. This resets the KVM switch upon logout, allowing network changes to take effect without having to power the unit ON and OFF.
The Security page controls IP access by filtering the range of IP addresses
and/orMACaddressesthatcanaccesstheKVMswitch.IPandMAC
addressfilterscontrolaccesstotheKVMswitchbasedontheIPand/or

100IPfiltersand100MACfiltersareallowed.

time. If you are adding a new filter, simply fill in the address fields
and click OK. If you are editing an existing filter, replace the old
