Logging In
Overview
KVM Over the NET™ switches can be accessed from a local console; an
internet browser; a Windows application (AP) program; and a Java application
(AP) program.
No matter which access method you choose, the KVM Over the NET™
switch’s authentication procedure requires you to submit a valid username and
password. If you supply invalid login information, the authentication routine
will return an
Invalid Username or Password , or Login Failed message. If you
see this type of message, log in again with a correct username and password.
Note: If the number of invalid login attempts exceeds a specified amount, a
timeout period is invoked. You must wait until the timeout period
expires before you can attempt to log in again. See
Login Failures ,
page 165 for further details.
Local Console Login
When the local console is attached (see Single Stage Installation , page 21) and
there is no user logged in, the KVM Over the NET™ switch’s login screen
appears on the monitor:
Simply key in your valid Username and Password, then click Login to bring
up the Local Console Main Page. The Local Console Main Page is similar to
the Web Browser, WinClient and Java Client Main Pages. For a description of
the Web Browser Main Page, see page 47.
