An administrative user can select the General option on the OSD Configure Menu to configure several general features of the OnSite.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.Configure>General Screens [OSD] (Sheet 1 of 3) gives a brief description of the sequence of General configuration screens.
The authentication type that applies to direct KVM port logins from the Web Manager login screen: None, Local, Radius, TacacsPlus, Kerberos, LDAP, RadiusDownLocal, TacplusDownLocal, KerberosDownLocal, LdapDownLocal, NTLM(Win NT/2k/2k3), and NTLMDownLocal. Direct logins to KVM ports must also be enabled. (See Direct Access.) You also must ensure that an authentication server is specified for the type of method you select. See Configure>Authentication Screens [OSD]. 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 OnSite 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 Configure>Syslog Screens [OSD]. The escape sequence for KVM port connection hot keys. The default is Ctrl+k, shown as [CTRL]K in the screen. Enter the keys in all caps. The format and valid escape sequence modifier keys are [CTRL], [SHIFT[, [ALT], and [WIN], the Windows key with the Windows logo on it. See Configuring KVM Port Connection Hot Keys for more details. The escape key for Sun hot keys. Default: [WIN]. Other options are: [CTRL], [SHIFT], and [ALT]. See Sun Keyboard Emulation Hot Keys and Configuring Sun Keyboard Equivalent Hot Keys for more details. The level of encryption: “None,” “Kbd/Mouse”—encrypt keyboard and mouse data,” or “Video/Kbd/Mouse”—encrypt data from the keyboard, video, and mouse. Selecting “Yes” enables and “No” disables direct access to KVM ports from the Web Manager login screen. 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. You might need to assign another port, for example, if your Internet provider is blocking port 5900. 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. Note: Do not use reserved port numbers 1 through 1024.
