4: Installing the SpiderDuo
SecureLinx Spider/SpiderDuo User Guide 40
Power Sequencing
To ensure that the system (PC, local keyboard and mouse, and SpiderDuo) function properly at
power up, it is recommended that the following procedure be performed.
1. Ensure that the PC and SpiderDuo are powered off.
2. Make connections for all devices.
3. Turn on the SpiderDuo first and wait for the SpiderDuo to boot up completely. The SysOK LED
will be on steady.
4. Turn on the PC.
Client Server Setup
Two mechanisms provide the monitoring of client servers that are connected through the Spider:
platform-dependent management and platform-independent management.
 Platform-dependent management—Spider View is a standalone Windows XP or later
application that locates, manages, and accesses multiple Spider devices in an integrated
view. Spider View requires ActiveX controls enabled. Refer to the Spider View User Guide at
http://www.lantronix.com/support/documentation.html for instructions on installation and
operation of Spider View .
 Platform-independent management—Each Spider contains an embedded web server that
delivers web pages, a Java KVM Remote Console program, and a terminal program. To
access and manage the client server, the latest web browser is required. For example,
Internet Explorer, Netscape, FireFox, and Safari. To run the Remote Console window and
manage the target server, a Java plug-in (SUN JRE 1.4 or later) is required.
Network Environment
The connection between the client and SpiderDuo must be open to IP traffic and use TCP ports 80
(HTTP) and 443 (HTTPS). Firewalls and NAT devices should be configured to support this
configuration. The TCP ports can be changed by accessing Interfaces > Network.
When idle, minimal network traffic gets generated. Traffic bursts exceeding 10 Mpbs can occur if
images change rapidly on the host server and image quality gets set to the maximum. Lantronix
recommends using Fast Ethernet connections and a switched network environment because In a
LAN, traffic affects the responsiveness of the Remote Console window.
