Finishing Up

If a ﬁrewall is being used, the Administrator can specify the port numbers that the ﬁrewall will allow (and set the ﬁrewall accordingly). Users

must specify the port number as part of the IP address when they connect to the B051-000. If an invalid port number (or no port number) is

speciﬁed, the B051-000 will not be found. An explanation of the ﬁelds in the Access Port section is given in the table below:

Field Explanation

iKVM

This is the port number that must be speciﬁed when connecting to the B051-000 from the stand-alone AP Windows Client

program. Valid entries are from 1024–65535. The default is 9000.

Virtual Media

This is the port number used for data transfer when accessing the B051-000’s Virtual Media feature. Valid entries are from 1024–

65535. The default is 9003.

HTTP The port number for a browser login. Valid entries are from 1–65535. The default is 80.

HTTPs The port number for a secure browser login. Valid entries are from 1–65535. The default is 443.

Note: If there is no ﬁrewall (on an Intranet, for example), it doesn’t matter what these numbers are set to, since they have no effect. The access

ports cannot have the same value. You must set a different value for each one.

The B051-000 can either have its IP address assigned dynamically when starting up (DHCP), or it can be given a ﬁxed IP address.

Note: If the B051-000 is on a network that uses DHCP to assign network addresses, and you need to ascertain its IP address, contact your

system administrator.

The B051-000 can either have its DNS server address assigned automatically, or a ﬁxed address can be speciﬁed.

An IP Installer utility (IPInstaller.exe) is provided on the CD that comes with the B051-000 IP Remote Access Unit. It offers a simple method

to ascertain and conﬁgure IP related settings for the B051-000. When the IP Installer is invoked, it scans the network for B051-000 devices and

displays the ones it ﬁnds.

• SelectingEnabled allows you to see the IP settings of the devices that were found, and to use the utility to set new IP addresses.

• SelectingView Only allows you to see the IP settings of the devices that were found, but you cannot make any changes to the settings.

• SelectingDisabled will prevent the B051-000 from being found by the IP Installer.

See IP Installer, page 10, for operation details.

After making any network changes, be sure Reset on exit on the Customization page (see Customization, page 26) has been enabled (there is a

check in the checkbox), before logging out. This allows network changes to take effect without having to power the B051-000 off and on.
