System Ident:
Machine Name: This is the name that is used to uniquely identify this machine.You
might want to create a DNS entry that matches this name.
The name is provided as the Client Name for the DHCP server. It is
also shown at the top of each page in the web browser interface and is
the “desktop name” for VNC clients.
Other identification details: These values are for information pur
poses. They are visible from the VNC client and via SNMP (if enabled).
Location: This string is sent as the system.sysLocation value over SNMP. It should
describe the location of this system.
Contact Name: This string is sent as the system.sysContact value over SNMP. It should
describe who to contact regarding this machine. Typically it includes an email address.
Network Address: This value is not used in our configuration, but is meant to store a
user-defined value that identifies the controlled machine on the network. The official
DNS name of the controlled machine is an obvious value to put here, but you may use
it for any purpose.
Description: A user-defined description for the controlled machine.
Security: This menu allows you to configure a number of settings, including the admin
password (recommended). Read and consider the comments and instructions on this
menu before making any changes, as changing these features could make the unit
inaccessible through Web configuration (i.e. due to firewall filtering).
Compatibility: The Compatibility menu offers features that may provide enhanced
functionality with certain KVM and power products, such as StarTech.com’s Remote
Power Switch (PCM8155HNA). These can be left at their default values if you are not
connecting the unit to a KVM or power management device.
NOTE: That any password changes you make will have to be entered in
duplicate to prevent the chance for error.
