Step 1: Configuring Network Firewall Settings

• TCP Port 5000: Allow network and firewall communication to

enable remote access.

• TCP Port 443: Allow access to the standard HTTPS port to

enable access via web browser.

• TCP Port 80: Allow access to the standard HTTP port to enable

redirection of HTTP requests.

QS Rule

Step 2: Configuring KVM Target Servers

Mouse Settings

Absolute Mouse Synchronization is recommended to minimize
mouse settings on target servers.

In this mode, absolute coordinates are used to keep the client and
target cursors in synch, even when the target mouse is set to a
different acceleration or speed. This mode is supported on servers
with USB ports and is the default mode for virtual media CIMs.

• Absolute Mouse Synchronization requires the use of a virtual

media CIM - D2CIM-VUSB, D2CIM-DVUSB, D2CIM-DVUSB-DVI,
D2CIM-DVUSB-HDMI, D2CIM-DVUSB-DP, D2CIM-VUSB-USBC
