2.2 Installation

The B064-000-STN HDMI KVM over IP Remote User Console Station supports hot-plugging, which allows you to connect, disconnect, add or remove components without having to shut down the unit. If it becomes necessary to power off the Remote User Console Station, use the shutdown function, disconnect the power adapter and wait 30 seconds before reconnecting it.

Note: The numbers shown in Figure 5 correspond to the installation steps below.

1. Connect your USB keyboard and USB mouse, as well as any speakers or microphone.

2. With a user-supplied HDMI cable, connect an HDMI display to the HDMI port on the unit.

3. Plug an Ethernet cable from the network into the LAN port.

4. (Optional) Plug USB ﬂash drives or devices into the peripheral USB ports on the front of the unit.

5. (Optional) To cascade an additional B064-000-STN unit, plug one end of a user-supplied Cat5e/6 Ethernet cable into the

port labeled CASCADE on the ﬁrst stage unit, then plug the other end of the Ethernet cable into the LAN port of a second stage B064-000-STN unit. The added unit will gain the ﬁrst stage unit’s internet connection but conﬁguration and control of each unit is separate.

Note: DO NOT connect the cascade port to a network switch or it will cause a switching loop.

6. (Optional) The unit can be grounded by attaching a grounding wire to the Grounding Terminal, then to a suitable, earth-

grounded object. Note: Grounding wire is not included.

7. Connect the included external power supply to the power jack on the unit.

3. Operation

3.1 Logging In

The B064-000-STN is a central control station used to monitor several or all of the B064-IPG-Series KVM switches in your network. A valid user name and password are required to log in (Figure 6). The default user name and password are

administrator and password, respectively.

Figure 6: Login Screen

If invalid credentials are entered, an Invalid User Name or Password, or Login Failed message will appear. Log in again with the correct user name and password.

Note: If the number of invalid login attempts is exceeded, a timeout period is invoked. You must wait until the timeout period expires before attempting to login again.

The B064-000-STN supports two different modes:

• Console Station Mode: Log into the console station (My Device)

• KVM Device Mode: Log into a KVM directly

1. a. To log into the console station (My Device), select My Device from the Address dropdown menu.

b. To log into a KVM device directly, specify the device’s IP address and its port.

Note: To ﬁnd the addresses of other KVM devices on the same local area network, click the magnifying glass symbol or look in the

Address dropdown menu for a device history list (the device history can be cleared using a terminal command).

2. Enter a user name and password (by default, user name and password are administrator and password, respectively), then

click “Login” to log in.

Note: For security purposes, the user name and password should be changed by the administrator to unique values.

3. At the bottom right-hand corner, a language option is available (English is default). Click to change the language.
