The Home Screen
The Home screen serves two
functions. First, it is a place to check
the status of the unit, view essential
system information, and capture
screen shots from the managed
computers. Second, it is where you
can start the integrated Java VNC
client to interact with the managed
computers by clicking on the large
screen shot or choosing one of the
VNC client links.
The Admin/Setup Screen
This is the menu that will allow you to
access all the features you will need to perform an initial configuration of the
NewStar
Digital KVM via IP
. Each of the options is explained in detail here.
Network Configuration (IP
address. netmask, gateway)
Dynamic Host
Configuration
Protocol (DHCP)
Automatic network
configuration using
DHCP
is:
Enabled/Disabled.
This feature applies to
the
LAN
port on the
rear panel, and is
enabled by default. When enabled, the unit will automatically configure itself with an
IP address when a
DHCP
server is present. When disabled, the
LAN
port will use the
values assigned to it on the
IP Addresses and Routing
table below.
IP Addresses and Routing
This table allows you to assign IP information for the
LAN
port. If you are using
DHCP
, the values for the
LAN
port will be filled in automatically and any changes
made will not affect the setup.
Domain Name Server (optional)
This section allows you to specify DNS servers and the default DNS domain suffix in
use on the network. If
DHCP
is enabled, some of these values may be supplied
automatically.
