                                 Enabling Access to the Web Manager without Making a Direct Connection

 

 

This section describes additional alternatives for enabling access to the Web 
Manager that do not require making a direct connection. Both of the two 
following approaches require an experienced administrator to configure:

•

The KVM/net ships with a default IP address: 192.168.160.10. You can 
use the default address to bring up the Web Manager, assign a fixed IP 
address to the KVM/net and specify other network parameters without 
making a direct connection. To do so, you must temporarily change the IP 
address of a computer on the same subnet. See “To Use the Default IP 
Address to Access the Web Manager” on page 101.”

•

DHCP is enabled on the KVM/net by default. If you have network access 
to the DHCP server for the KVM/net, and if you are able to discover the 
KVM/net’s dynamically assigned IP address, you do not need to make a 
direct connection. Discovering the current IP address requires entering the 
KVM/net’s MAC address. Make a note of the MAC address, which is on a 
label at the bottom of the unit in the form NN-NN-NN-NN-NN-NN, and go 
to “To Use a Dynamic IP Address to Access the Web Manager” on 
page 102.”

The default IP address for the KVM/net is 192.168.160.10. This 
procedure assumes that you are able to temporarily change the IP address of a 
computer that is on the same subnet as the KVM/net.

1. Set up the AlterPath KVM/net.

See “To Mount the KVM/net” on page 76.

2. Connect computers and other devices to be managed through the KVM/

net.

See “Connecting Servers to the KVM Ports” on page 78.

3. Power on the KVM/net and connected devices.

See “Powering On the KVM/net and Connected Devices” on page 83.
