Service Ports

As a security measure, if a firewall is being used, the Administrator can specify

the port numbers that the firewall will allow. Users must specify the port

number when they log in. If an invalid port number (or no port number) is

specified, the KVM Over the NET

switch will not be found. An explanation

of the fields is given in the table below:

Note: 1. The access ports cannot have the same value. You must set a different

value for each one.

2. If you have set up a firewall, you must open the ports you have set for

Program and HTTPS in order for users logging in from outside the

firewall to access the switch. See Port Forwarding, page 202, for

details.

Field Explanation

Program This is the port used when connecting with the WinClient

ActiveX Viewer, WinClient AP, Java Applet Viewer, Java Client

AP, or via Virtual Media. The default is 9000. Valid entries are

from 1024–65535.

If the port is changed to something other than the default, the

port number must be specified when logging in using the

WinClient AP / Java Client AP or else the user will not be able to

connect to the switch. See WinClient AP Login, page 39 and

Java Client AP Login, page 42.

HTTP The port number for a browser login. The default is 80.

HTTPS The port number for a secure browser login. The default is 443.
