Spider™ and SpiderDuo® KVM-over-IP Device User Guide

Platform-independent management—Each Spider device contains an embedded web server
that delivers web pages, a Java KVM Remote Console program, and a terminal program. To
access and manage the client server, the latest web browser is required. For example,
Internet Explorer, Netscape, FireFox, and Safari. To run the Remote Console window and
manage the target server, a Java plug-in (SUN JRE 1.4 or later) is required.
Network Environment
The connection between the client and SpiderDuo device must be open to IP traffic and use TCP
ports 80 (HTTP) and 443 (HTTPS). Firewalls and NAT devices should be configured to support
this configuration. The TCP ports can be changed by accessing
Interfaces > Network
.
When idle, minimal network traffic gets generated. Traffic bursts exceeding 10 Mpbs can occur if
images change rapidly on the host server and image quality gets set to the maximum. Lantronix
recommends using Fast Ethernet connections and a switched network environment because In a
LAN, traffic affects the responsiveness of the Remote Console window.
