Note:

Once this setting has been changed, the I8330 no longer displays the option to enter
Setup. If you need to enter Setup, cycle the power on the I8330 and press F10 when
prompted.

The user must be joined to the Windows domain used by your Sentral installation, or must be
a local user on the host or virtual machine (VM) to which the user will connect. The user must
also be joined to a Sentral User Group, and the target host or VM must be allocated to that
User Group. For a successful login, the target host or VM must be discovered in Sentral.

If Sentral is not available, a direct connection login is displayed, with an error message saying the
server could not be found. Click through this error to make a direct connection.

For more information, please see the Sentral Administrator’s Guide.

Direct Connection

By default, the I8330 I/Port is configured to automatically attempt a direct connection to a
host. For direct connection, the I8330 requires the I83xx driver installed on each host to which
it will connect.

When the I8330 I/Port is first started, a dialog box allowing a direct login is displayed. The
login displays a list of the first eight hosts it finds that have the I83xx driver installed. Select a
host, and click Connect. The user must be joined to the Windows domain used by the host, or
must be a local user on the host to which the user will connect.

Operating Notes

Use the power switch on the back of the I8330 to turn it on and off. The blue POWER LED
on the front panel indicates that the I8330 has power. The blue READY LED indicates that the
I8330 is ready to use. The blue LAN activity LED on the front panel blinks in response to
traffic between the I8330 and the network, but will otherwise remains steadily lit.

Turn the Num Lock function off before connecting to a host. If you notice that the Num Lock
LED on your keyboard inaccurately displays whether the Num Lock function is set, terminate
your host connection and press the Num Lock key one or more times until the Num Lock
LED goes out. Then re-establish a connection to the host.

The configurable I8330 options that can be set in the device include TCP/IP address, monitor
resolution, and color depth.

Note:

If using DHCP, verify that name resolution is activated to detect non- Windows-based
systems and that the DNS server is registering the I/Port. For non-DHCP networks, a
static IP address manually assigned to the I8330 should not conflict with an existing
address in the network. Enable any necessary ports on your switches and routers.

After powering on the I8330, press F10 to enter the local device setup utility. Verify the
following settings:
