A Security Profile consists of a set of parameters that can be configured in order to have more control over the services that are active at any time. There are three pre-defined security profiles with pre-set parameters. In addition, a Custom profile is provided where an administrator can configure individual protocols and services.The first step in configuring your AlterPath KVM/netPlus is to define a Security Profile. One of the following situations is applicable when you boot up the KVM/netPlus unit.In this situation when you boot KVM/netPlus up and login as an administrator to the WMI, a security warning dialog box appears. The WMI is redirected to “Step1: Security Profile”. Further navigation to other sections of the WMI is not possible without selecting or configuring a Security Profile. Once you select or configure a Security Profile and save the changes, KVM/netPlus restarts.In this situation the KVM/netPlus was already in use and certain configuration parameters were saved in the flash memory. In this case KVM/netPlus automatically retrieves the “Custom Security Profile” parameters saved in the flash memory and behaves as it was a normal reboot.In this situation the system detects the pre-defined security profile. You can continue working in the WMI.
