Completing Configuration Using the Web
Manager
The “admin” user can administer the KVM and its connected devices through
the Web Manager without doing any additional configuration.
The following list shows other common configuration tasks:
• Enable direct login to ports from the Web Manager login screen
• Set up local or remote data buffering (to save console input to a log file)
and specify alarms
• Set up logging of system messages to a syslog server
• Configure power management for the AUX port if the port is connected to
an optional AlterPath PM or other supported IPDU device
• Choose among authentication methods and specify authentication servers
• Specify optional encryption levels
• Configure rules for a firewall
• Configure a time and date (NTP) server or set the time and date manually
See “Web Manager for Administrators” on page 117
for procedures for
performing the common KVM administration tasks listed in this section.
Following is a brief list of ways the admin can assign tasks to other users:
• Let other users manage servers or PMs without being able to make changes
to the KVM configuration
• Assign users or groups to specific ports, restricting users to a limited set of
devices
• Let other users share all administration of the KVM
