A user account defined on the Web Manager

By default, the admin has an account on the Web Manager. An 
administrator can add regular user accounts to administer connected 
devices using the Web Manager.

The TCP port numbers for KVM ports are used by the AlterPath Viewer when 
a user connects to a KVM port through the Web Manager. When a user 
connects to a KVM port through the Web Manager, the AlterPath Viewer uses 
port 5900. Depending on your KVM model up to four IP modules may be 
available. Subsequent port numbers 5901, 5902, and 5903 are used to launch 
additional AlterPath Viewer sessions . You can assign a different port number 
or numbers through the OSD or the Web Manager. Do not assign reserved 
TCP port numbers 1 through 1024.

Special circumstances may require KVM/net administrators to specify 
alternative TCP port numbers other than the defaults. For example, the 
firewall may block TCP port 5900 or 5901.

The following table provides links to procedures for changing default TCP 
port numbers.
