To configure the firewall:
To access the switch from outside a firewall, configure your firewall to forward ports 80 and 443 from its
external interface to the KVM switch through the firewall’s internal interface. Consult your firewall manual
for specific port forwarding instructions.
NOTE: Ports 80 and 443 can be reconfigured by an administrator. You must reboot for a port change
to take effect.
For information on launching the OBWI, see OBWI Operation on page 29.

The switch has one power supply. The LED illuminates when the switch is turned on and operating

Before a computer connected to the switch can be used for remote user control, you must set the mouse
speed and turn off acceleration. For machines running Microsoft® Windows® (Windows NT®, 2000, XP or
