On the “IP Users” screen under Configuration>KVM>General in Expert mode, an administrative user can define the default session parameters that apply when a remote user (called the IP User) is connected to a KVM port through the Web Manager (in a type of session called KVM over IP).Selecting Configuration>KVM>General>IP Users brings up a screen with the fields shown in the following figure on the OnSite hardware version 1.1.0 or later.Selecting Configuration>KVM>General>IP Users brings up a screen with the fields shown in the following figure on OnSite hardware version 1.0.0.The following table lists and describes the parameters that appear on the screens for both types of users.
Sets the maximum time (in minutes) for the session to be idle before it is closed. Change the number of the TCP port used for the AlterPath Viewer. [IP User only.] The default is 5900+. You may need to change the default, for example, if your firewall is blocking port 5900. (For more details, see Port Numbers and Aliases.) Port numbers 1-1024 are reserved. Indicate a range of ports by entering a plus sign (+) after the first port number (as in 2500+) or by entering a dash between two port numbers (as in 2500-2501). Indicate a set of nonadjacent port numbers by separating port numbers with commas (as in 2500, 2508). Specify the level and type of encryption. If the radio buttons for Level 1 or Level 2 are selected, RC4 encryption is used unless the 3DES checkbox is also selected. Note: This area does not appear when this screen displays on the newest OnSite hardware, because the “Show Connections” menu replaces the hot keys. (See What You See When Connected to a KVM Port.) Optionally redefine the command key portion of keyboard shortcuts for each type of user. For more information about redefining keyboard shortcuts, see Configuring Keyboard Shortcuts (Hot Keys) and To Redefine KVM Port Connection Hot Keys [Expert] if needed.Perform this procedure if you want to redefine the parameters that apply to KVM port sessions that are started by a user who is directly logged into the OnSite through a Local User station.
2. To change the idle timeout, enter a different number of minutes in the “Idle Timeout” field.
3. To change the screen saver timeout, enter a different number of minutes in the “Screen Saver Timeout” field.

2. To change the idle timeout, enter a different number of minutes in the “Idle Timeout” field.
3. To change the TCP port number used by the AlterPath Viewer, enter another number in the “TCP Viewer Ports” field.
5. If the “Escape Sequences” area appears on the screen, to optionally change any of the command key portions of KVM hot key combinations, enter a different letter in the “Quit,” “Power Management,” “Mouse/Keyboard Reset,” “Video Control,” “Switch Next,” “Switch Previous,” or “Port Info” fields.
