Clicking on the Network icon at the top of the screen brings you to the
Network page. From here you can set access ports that will be allowed
byafirewall,configuretheKVM’sIPaddressandDNSserveraddress,
and set the IP Installer settings. IP Installer settings can only be
changed using the Web Management Interface.
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specifiedinthefirewall,theKVMswitchwillnotbefound.
An explanation of the ports you can set via this page is given in the
table:
Port Description
Program This is the port number that must be specified when
connecting to the KVM via the AP Windows or Java
Cient. 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.
