IP Access Control
This section allows you to optionally specify ranges of addresses which will or will not be granted access to the
UltraConsole Remote 2. If this option is left unchanged, then the default entry of ‘+0.0.0.0/0.0.0.0’ ensures that
access from all IP addresses will be permitted. If this feature is needed, please see Appendix F for a detailed
explanation of IP access control.
Host Configuration
The Host Configuration menu allows you to configure various details for each of the host systems that may be
connected to the UltraConsole Remote 2. Each of the 128 entries can be configured with a name, the permitted
users, and the hot key combinations to switch to it.
Click on the “Erase Host Configuration” tab to remove
all host entries if needed.
Check the box “Add entry for unrecognized host” to
add any system connected to that is not specified in
the Host list. Verify these added hosts for the correct
Hot key sequence and user permission. Connecting
to complex cascaded systems should be verified.
It is recommended that the naming and hot key
assignments for each Host Configuration entry match
the CPU port configuration of the UltraConsole
Remote 2.
Entry #1 - Name and hot key defined to switch to
CPU port #1, Entry #2 for CPU port #2, etc.
Examples of Hot key sequences for switching to a
given port are shown below.
To add a new entry to the Host Configuration, click (highlight) one of the host entries to bring up the host
configuration dialog box. Select each item (1 – 128) as needed and enter the Name, Users, and Hotkey / KVM port
keyboard sequence. Click Save after each item has been entered.
Name
Enter the name that will be displayed in the viewer window when you click the Host button.
Users
Select the users that will be permitted to connect to this host. Either enter * to allow all users or a list of users
separated by commas (e.g. sales, admin, eng, david).
Hotkey / KVM Port
Declare the hot key sequence, or Remote Port Direct address that will cause the KVM switch module to link with the
required host system. Remote Port Direct addresses must be entered within square brackets. To set-up the hotkey
values used to switch to a given CPU port, the following information is used to create the hot key sequence:
+ means press down the key that follows
– means release the key that follows
+– means press down and release the key that follows
To switch to CPU port #1, the Hotkey / KVM port sequence would be +-Ctrl+-1+-Enter, to switch to CPU port #8, the
sequence would be +-Ctrl+-8+-Enter, the sequence to switch to CPU port #15 would be +-Ctrl+-1+-5+-Enter. A list of
the valid hotkey codes are given in Appendix G.
