Chapter 4: Configuration
4. Configuration
4.1 Initial Settings—Default IP Address
By default, KVMGate boots with an automatically assigned IP address from a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server
on the network. The DHCP server provides a valid IP address, gateway address, and subnet mask.
To identify the IP address, the KVMGate MAC address appears on the underside of the KVMGate box. The device number (D.N.)
can also be found there.
If no DHCP server is found on the network, KVMGate boots with the static IP address: 192.168.0.155.
NOTE: If a DHCP server later becomes available, the unit picks up the IP settings from the DHCP server. To keep the static IP
address, disable DHCP.
Static IP Addresses for a Number of Units
If you want to connect more than one KVMGate to the same network and there is no DHCP server, or you if want to use static IP
addresses, do the following:
Connect the KVMGate units one at a time and change the static IP address of each unit before connecting the next unit.
4.2 Logging Into the Web Interface
To complete the initial setup via the Web configuration interface:
1. Open your Web browser (Internet Explorer version 6.0 or higher, Firefox 3, Linux with Firefox 3).
2. Type the IP address of the KVMGate system: https://IP address and press Enter.
The login page appears (see Figure 4-1).
Figure 4-1. Login page.
3. Type the Administrator user name and password. By default, the user name is: “admin” and the password is “access” (both
lower case).
4. Press Enter. The Web interface opens at the Network Configuration page. See Figure 4-2.
5. Bookmark the page for easy reference.
