KVM-0850/1650 and immediately press <ESC>. You will see some device information and a ’=>’
prompt. Enter the command ’config’ and press <Enter>. After waiting a few moments you may
configure IP auto configuration, IP address, net mask and default gateway. Pressing <Enter> without
entering values does not change settings. The gateway value must be set to 0.0.0.0 (for no gateway)
or any other value. You will be asked if the values are correct and get a chance to correct them. After
confirming, KVM-0850/1650 performs a reset.
2.Use a crossover Ethernet cable to connect KVM-0850/1650 to a subnet where a DHCP server is
available. After the DHCP server has assigned an IP address to KVM-0850/1650 you can use the
web interface to configure the device.

Changing these settings to user specific values is strongly recommended
and can be done on the User Management page (see the Section called
Users and Groups in Chapter 6 ).
The Remote Console
The Remote Console is the redirected screen, keyboard and mouse of the remote host system to
which KVM-0850/1650 is attached. The web browser who is used for accessing KVM-0850/1650 has
to supply a Java Runtime Environment version 1.1 or higher. The Remote Console will behave exactly
the same way as if you were sitting directly in front of the screen of your remote system. That means
keyboard and mouse can be used in the usual way. Open the console by choosing the appropriate link
in the navigation frame of the HTML fronted. Figure 1.3 shows the top of the Remote Console.

There are some options to choose from and the important ones are the following:
Auto Adjust button
If the video displayed is of bad quality or distorted in some way, press this button and wait a few
seconds while KVM-0850/1650 tries to adjust itself for the best possible video quality.
Sync Mouse
Choose this option in order to synchronize the local with the remote mouse cursor. This is
especially necessary when using accelerated mouse settings on the host system. In general
there is no need to change mouse settings on the host.
Video Settings in Options Menu This opens a new window with elements to control the
KVM-0850/1650 Video Settings. You can change some values, for instance the brightness and
contrast of the picture displayed, which may improve the video quality. It is also possible to
revert to the default settings for all video modes or only the current one.
