10.Access the KVM without
Making a Direct Connection
This section describes additional alternatives for
enabling access to the KVM Web Manager that do not
require making a direct connection. Both of the two
following approaches require an experienced
administrator to configure:
• The KVM ships with a default IP address:
192.168.160.10, which you can use to bring up the
Web Manager, assign a fixed IP address to the KVM
and specify other network parameters without making
a direct connection. See “To Use the Default IP
Address to Access the Web Manager” on page 6.”
• DHCP is enabled on the KVM by default. If you have
network access to the DHCP server for the KVM, and
if you are able to discover the KVM’s dynamically-
assigned IP address, you do not need to make a direct
connection. See “To Use a Dynamic IP Address to
Access the Web Manager” on page 7.”
!
To Use the Default IP Address to
Access the Web Manager
The default IP address for the KVM 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.
1.
On a computer that resides on the same subnet with
the KVM, change the network portion of the IP
address of that computer to
192.168.160.
