KCS6000 Quick Start (520023-Rev 3.2) Page 2
Note: The LAN connected computer must have an IP address in the same network
range (192.168.0.xxx) as the console server. If this is not convenient, you
can use the
ARP Ping
command to set the IP address (refer
User Manual
or
online FAQ for details). The console server also has its DHCP client enabled
by default, so it will automatically accept any network IP address assigned by
any DHCP server on your network – and will then respond at both
192.168.0.1 and its DHCP address.
Select System: Administration, enter and confirm a new System Password
and click Apply
To assign your KCS6104/6116 a static IP address or to permanently enable
DHCP, select System: IP then Network Interface and check DHCP or Static
for Configuration Method
Note: Alternately you can configure the KCS6104/6116
console server
using the
directly connected video console. Power-on and login from the local screen/ keyboard
using
root default
. Then click Configure on the control panel to load
Firefox
and the
Management Console and log in again using
root default
Step 4 Configure local thin client access
Configure any of the KCS6104/6116 thin clients you will be using (e.g. Terminal, HTTP,
HTTPS, VNC, RDP, IPMI) with details of the networked devices they will be accessing:
Select Connect: Add/Delete/Edit on the control panel and for each selected
client enter the IP Address or DNS Name of the Host to be accessed and
possibly a Username)
