General Configuration Screens [OSD]
You can select the General option on the OSD Configuration Menu to configure several general features of the KVM/netPlus.
Selecting Configure>General from the OSD Main Menu brings up the Authentication type screen, which is the first in a series of configuration screens that appear in the sequence shown in the following table.
The following table gives a brief description of the sequence of General configuration screens.
The Port Authentication applies to direct KVM port logins from the KVM/netPlus login screen. Direct logins to KVM ports must be enabled. (See Direct Access). You also must ensure that an authentication server is specified for the type of method you select. See Authentication Screens.
The syslog facility number that is used by the administrator of the syslog server to identify messages generated by devices connected to the KVM ports. Obtain the facility number to use for the KVM/netPlus from the syslog server’s administrator. Values are from 0 through 7. See Syslog Servers for examples of using facility numbers as needed. In addition, the IP address of the syslog server must be configured, as described under Syslog Screens.
The escape key for Sun hot keys. Default = the Windows [WIN] key, which is the key with the Windows logo on it. Other options are: [CTRL], [SHIFT], and [ALT]. See Redefining Sun Keyboard Modifier Keys for more details.
The level of encryption: “None,” “encrypt keyboard and mouse data,” or “encrypt data from the keyboard, video, and mouse.”
 
 
Allows you to assign an alternate TCP Port number or numbers for the AlterPath Viewer to use [Default, 5900+]. Use the plus sign (+) to increment the port number by 1 for each additional AlterPath Viewer. For example: 5903+ means that the first AlterPath Viewer uses port 5903 and the second uses port 5904. Use the hyphen (-) to indicate a range of addresses, for example, 5903-5907. Use the comma (,) to separate two TCP port addresses, for example, 5901,5903. Combine commas and hyphens, as desired, for example: 1901,5903-5905,5907.
You must have at least eight valid TCP ports specified in order to have up to eight simultaneous in-band connections through the KVM/netPlus.
For example, if you want ports 3389 to ports 10000 to be used, type “3389 - 10000”. If you want to use ports 3389 and higher, type “3389+”. If you want to use ports 3389 and below, type “3389-”.
Note: The Save button on every screen saves configuration changes into the configuration files. To permanently save the configuration changes, you must select Save/Load Conf. from the Configuration Menu.
