Other Web Manager Login and Port Connection
Options and Requirements
All types of users who need to connect KVM or serial ports need a supported
and configured browser, as described in the AlterPath OnSite Installation
Guide. Following is a partial list of the requirements described in the
installation guide.
• For access to KVM ports through the Web Manager, which brings up an
AlterPath Viewer, the browser must have the Active X plug-in enabled
and must be running on a Windows computer with the specified minimum
configuration.
• Mouse settings on a server that is connected to a KVM port must be
configured properly or the user’s mouse cannot track over the KVM
connection.
• For access to serial ports through the Web Manager, which brings up a
Java applet, the Java Runtime Environment (JRE) 1.4.2 or later version
must be installed on your computer and the Java plug-in must be installed
in the browser to support the Java applet through which the serial port
connection is made.
Following sections describe options for connecting to servers connected to
KVM ports and devices connected to serial ports.
