2.2 Network Setup - IP Address Determination
The B064-Series KVM Switch has two network interfaces. The
NIC Setting section of the Network tab allows you to assign a
single IP Address and DNS Server for both network interfaces, or
to assign a separate address for each.
Redundant NIC
If Redundant NIC is enabled (the default), both interfaces use
the IP address assigned to Network Adapter 1. Under this
configuration, the B064-Series KVM Switch will switch to the
second network interface in the event there is a crash on the first
network interface.
• If you select Redundant NIC, the Network Interface drop-down
menu will be frozen to Network Adapter 1, and you will only
have to enter IP Address and DNS Server settings once.
• If you do not select Redundant NIC, you will have to enter IP
Address and DNS Server settings for both Network Adapter 1
and Network Adapter 2. User the Network Interface drop-down
menu to select the Network Adapter you want to configure.
IP Address and DNS Server Address
The B064-Series KVM switch supports both IPv4 and IPv6
addresses. The Network page allows you to set the IP address
manually, or to select to have it automatically assigned via
DHCP server. By default, the IP address is set to be assigned
automatically via DHCP server.
• To have the IP address assigned by your DHCP server, check
the Obtain IP address automatically check box in the IPv4 or
IPv6 settings section, depending on your network.
• To assign an IP address yourself, check the Set IP address
manually check box in the IPv4 or IPv6 settings section,
depending on your network. When checked, the IP address and
DNS server address fields open up, allowing you to enter in the
desired settings. Once you have entered in all the IP address
and DNS server address information, click the Save button at
the bottom of the screen. Upon logging out of the KVM (click
the Logout icon in the upper-right corner of the OSD), the KVM
will reset itself and the IP address settings you just entered will
be implemented.
Note: When manually assigning a DNS Server address, it
is required that you enter the Preferred DNS server, but the
Alternate DNS server is an optional field.
2. IP Installer
For computers running Windows, an IP address can be assigned
with the IP Installer utility:
Note: In order to use the IP Installer, the IP Installer Enabled
check box in the Network page must be checked. By default, the
IP Installer View Only check box is checked, allowing you to view
the KVMs IP Address using the IP Installer but not change it.
If you are an administrator logging in for the first time, you must
access the B064-Series KVM Switch in order to give it an IP
address to which users can connect. There are three methods of
doing this: Local Console, IP Installer, and Browser.
1. Local Console
After the local console has been connected and the B064-Series
KVM Switch is turned on, a login prompt appears on the console
monitor:
Log in using the default Username: administrator and Password:
password. For security purposes, it is strongly recommended that you
change these to a unique Username and Password. (See “Changing
the Super Administrator Login,” Section 2.4, for instructions.)
After you successfully log in, the Local Console Main Screen appears:
1. Click the Device Management icon at the top of the screen.
2. On the screen that appears on the right-hand side of the page
select the Network tab.
