2. In the address bar of the browser, enter the IP address or host name assigned to the switch you want to
access.
Examples: https://XXX.XX.XX.XX or https://hostname
The default username is Admin with no password.
3. When the browser connects to the switch, enter your user name and password.
4. Select Login. The remote OBWI appears.
Connecting to the remote OBWI through a firewall
Any console switch installation that uses the remote OBWI for outside access must have four ports opened in
a firewall.
TCP port number Function
22
Used by SSH during serial sessions to an MPUIQ-SRL
module
80
Used for the initial downloading of the Video Viewer (for
downloading the Java™ applet)
443
Used by the web browser interface for managing the
switch and launching KVM sessions
2068
Transmission of KVM session data or transmission of
video on switches
In some configurations, the workstation is located outside of the firewall and the console switch is inside the
firewall. To configure the firewall, forward ports 22, 80, 443, and 2068 from the external interface to the
KVM switch through the firewall internal interface. For specific port forwarding instructions, see your firewall
documentation.
