Access Port
As a security measure, if a firewall is being used, the Administrator can
specify the port numbers that the firewall will allow, and set the firewall
accordingly. Users must specify the port number when they log in to the
NetDirector Console KVM Switch with IP Access. If an invalid port number
(or no port number) is specified, the KVM switch will not be found.
An explanation of the Access Port fields is given in the table below:
Note: If there is no firewall (on an intranet, for example), it doesn’t matter what these numbers
are set to, since they have no effect. You must set different values for each of the service
ports.
Log Server
Important transactions that occur on the KVM switch, such as logins and
internal status messages, are kept in an automatically generated log file.
In this panel, you specify the MAC address and a port number for the
computer that the Log Server resides on.
Installation and operation of the Log Server is discussed in Chapter 12.
The Log File is discussed in Chapter 11.

Description
Port Access
This function allows the Administrator or a user with
Administration permission to define the selected user’s
access to the computers on a Port-by-Port basis.
For each User profile, select a port and click it to cycle
through the choices:
Full - The user can view the screen and can perform
operations on the system from the keyboard and
mouse.
View - A diagonal line through the port icon indicates
the port access is View. The user can view the screen,
but cannot perform operations on the system.
Null (no access rights) - An X through the port icon
indicates no port access. The port will not show up on
the user’s list on the Main screen.
Repeat until access rights have been set for all ports.
The default is Full for all users on all ports.
