Setting up an IP Address  
IP Address Determination  
If you are an administrator logging in for the first time, you need to access the B051-000 in order to give it an IP address that users can connect  
to. There are three methods to choose from; IP Installer, Browser or AP Windows Client. In each case, the computer you are using to access the  
B051-000 must be on the same network segment as the unit. After you have connected and logged in you can give the B051-000 its fixed network  
address. The default username is administrator and the default password is password. It is strongly recommended that you change these upon  
accessing the B051-000.  
IP Installer  
For computers running Windows, an IP address can be assigned with  
the IP Installer utility:  
When the IP Installer main window comes up, the utility scans the  
network for B051-000 devices and lists the ones it finds in the Device  
List Panel. The Device List Panel consists of three columns, as shown  
in the following table:  
1. Unzip the contents of IPInstaller.zip (found on the CD that came  
with the B051-000) and save them to a directory on your hard drive.  
2. Go to the directory and run the IPInstaller.exe. A dialog box similar  
to the one below appears:  
Item  
Description  
Model Name  
MAC Address  
IP Address  
The device’s model name (B051-000).  
The MAC address of the device.  
The current IP Address of the device.  
3. Select the B051-000 from the Device List.  
• If there is more than one B051-000, use the MAC address to find  
the unit that you want. The MAC address can be located on the  
bottom of the unit.  
• If the list is empty, or the B051-000 does not appear, click  
Enumerate to refresh the Device List.  
Note: The Network Adapter drop-down list pertains to computers that  
have more than one network adapter installed. Users should select  
the network adapter that they want the Enumerate signal to be sent  
to.  
4. Once you have selected the desired B051-000, you must choose  
whether you want to Obtain an IP address automatically (DHCP)  
or Specify an IP address. If you choose the latter, fill in the IP  
address, Subnet Mask, and Gateway fields with the information  
appropriate to your network.  
5. Click Set IP.  
6. Once the IP address shows up in the Device List, click Exit.  
Browser  
1. Set the IP address of the computer/server you are using to access  
the B051-000 to 192.168.0.XXX, where XXX represents any  
number or numbers except 10. (192.168.0.10 is the default IP  
address of the B051-000.)  
2. Access the B051-000 by entering its default IP address  
(192.168.0.10) into your browser.

Browser (continued)  
3. Once logged into the B051-000, you can customize the Network  
Settings by clicking on the Network Icon on the B051-000 home  
page. Assign an IP address for the B051-000 that is suitable for the  
network segment that it resides on.  
4. After you log out, reset your computer’s IP address to its original  
value.  
AP Windows Client  
For computers running Windows, the B051-000 IP address can be  
determined using the Windows AP program. Run the Windows  
Client AP Installer file from the CD that came with the B051-000  
and follow the step-by-step instructions. The first time you login to  
the AP Windows Client, you will need the serial number located  
on the CD that came with the B051-000. This is not the same as the  
serial number on the bottom of the unit. When you run the program it  
searches the network segment for B051-000 devices, and displays the  
results in a dialog box similar to the one below:  
To update the network settings, you must click on the Login button  
to log into the B051-000. Once logged in, click on the Admin Utility  
button to access the B051-000 Admin Utility. From there you can get  
to the network settings screen by clicking the Network tab.

Provide a valid username and password and click Login to continue.  
If you do not have a username and password, contact your System  
Administrator.  
Note: If you are the administrator, and logging in for the first time,  
use the default username: administrator; and the default password:  
password. For security purposes, we strongly recommend you remove  
these and give yourself a unique username and password.  
Note: There is a red and white X logo over the certificate to indicate  
that it is not trusted.  
2. Click Install Certificate.

Administration Icons  
Remote Console Preview  
The icons arranged horizontally across the top of the page are  
linked to the administration utilities, which are used to configure  
the B051-000. The ability to make configuration changes via  
these administration icons depends on the permissions associated  
with a user’s login information. If a user does not have access to  
a configuration, they will not have access to its corresponding  
administration icon.  
The main portion of the screen shows a preview of the display from  
the computer/server that is being accessed.  
Note: The general icon is non-configurable and is available to all  
users.

Access Ports  
If a firewall is being used, the Administrator can specify the port numbers that the firewall will allow (and set the firewall accordingly). Users  
must specify the port number as part of the IP address when they connect to the B051-000. If an invalid port number (or no port number) is  
specified, the B051-000 will not be found. An explanation of the fields in the Access Port section is given in the table below:  
Field  
Explanation  
This is the port number that must be specified when connecting to the B051-000 from the stand-alone AP Windows Client  
program. Valid entries are from 1024–65535. The default is 9000.  
iKVM  
This is the port number used for data transfer when accessing the B051-000’s Virtual Media feature. Valid entries are from 1024–  
65535. The default is 9003.  
Virtual Media  
HTTP  
The port number for a browser login. Valid entries are from 1–65535. The default is 80.  
HTTPs  
The port number for a secure browser login. Valid entries are from 1–65535. The default is 443.  
Note: If there is no firewall (on an Intranet, for example), it doesn’t matter what these numbers are set to, since they have no effect. The access  
ports cannot have the same value. You must set a different value for each one.  
IP Address  
The B051-000 can either have its IP address assigned dynamically when starting up (DHCP), or it can be given a fixed IP address.  
• To have an IP address assigned automatically by a DHCP server, select the Obtain an IP address automatically button.  
Note: If the B051-000 is on a network that uses DHCP to assign network addresses, and you need to ascertain its IP address, contact your  
system administrator.  
• To specify a fixed IP address, select the Set IP address manually button and fill in the IP address, Subnet Mask and Default Gateway that are  
appropriate for your network.  
DNS Server  
The B051-000 can either have its DNS server address assigned automatically, or a fixed address can be specified.  
• To assign a DNS server address automatically, select the Obtain DNS server address automatically button.  
• To specify a fixed address, select the Use the following DNS server address button and fill in the required information.  
IP Installer Settings  
An IP Installer utility (IPInstaller.exe) is provided on the CD that comes with the B051-000 IP Remote Access Unit. It offers a simple method  
to ascertain and configure IP related settings for the B051-000. When the IP Installer is invoked, it scans the network for B051-000 devices and  
displays the ones it finds.  
• Selecting Enabled allows you to see the IP settings of the devices that were found, and to use the utility to set new IP addresses.  
• Selecting View Only allows you to see the IP settings of the devices that were found, but you cannot make any changes to the settings.  
• Selecting Disabled will prevent the B051-000 from being found by the IP Installer.  
See IP Installer, page 10, for operation details.  
Finishing Up  
After making any network changes, be sure Reset on exit on the Customization page (see Customization, page 26) has been enabled (there is a  
check in the checkbox), before logging out. This allows network changes to take effect without having to power the B051-000 off and on.

Administration  
Security  
The security administration icon is used to control access to the  
B051-000.  
Overview  
• IP and MAC Filters control access to the B051-000 based on the IP and/or MAC addresses of the computers attempting to access the system. If  
any filters have been configured, they appear in the IP Filter and/or MAC Filter list boxes.  
• The Default web page name lets the Administrator specify a login string (in addition to the IP address) that users must include when they  
access the B051-000 with a browser. Users must include the forward slash and the string along when they specify the IP address in the  
browser’s URL bar. For security purposes, we recommend that you change this string from time to time.  
• For example: entering abcdefg in the Default web page name field will require users to type in 192.168.0.126/abcdefg to  
access the B051-000 remotely.  
Note: If no string is specified here, anyone can access the B051-000 with a Web browser using the IP address alone. This makes the installation  
less secure.  
Filtering  
To enable IP and/or MAC filtering, click the IP Filter Enable and/or MAC Filter Enable checkbox. There are a maximum of 100 filters allowed  
for each.  
• If the include button is checked, all the addresses within the filter range are allowed access to the B051-000; all other addresses are denied  
access.  
• If the exclude button is checked, all the addresses within the filter range are denied access to the B051-000; all other addresses are allowed  
access.  
IP Filtering  
To add an IP Filter:  
3. Type the IP address (or the first IP address in a range of IP  
addresses) you wish to filter in the dialog box and click OK. A  
second dialog box, similar to the one below, appears:

OpenLDAP Server  
OpenLDAP is an Open source LDAP server designed for UNIX platforms. A Windows version can be downloaded from:  
OpenLDAP Server Installation  
After downloading the program, launch the installer, select your  
language, accept the license and choose the target installation  
directory. The default directory is:  
c:\Program Files\OpenLDAP.  
When the Select Components dialog box appears, select install BDB-  
tools and install OpenLDAP-slapd as NT service, as shown in the  
diagram:  
OpenLDAP Server Configuration  
• Define the name of the administrator entry for the server (rootdn),  
along with its password (rootpw). This is the servers super user.  
The rootdn name must match the suffix defined above. (Since all  
entry names must end with the defined suffix, and the rootdn is an  
entry.)  
The main OpenLDAP configuration file, slapd.conf, has to be  
customized before launching the server. The modifications to the  
configuration file will do the following:  
• Specify the Unicode data directory. The default is ./ucdata.  
• Choose the required LDAP schemas. The core schema is  
mandatory.  
• An example configuration file is provided in the figure, below:  
• Configure the path for the OpenLDAP pid and args start up files.  
The first contains the server pid, the second includes command line  
arguments.  
• Choose the database type. The default is bdb (Berkeley DB).  
• Specify the server suffix. All entries in the directory will have this  
suffix, which represents the root of the directory tree. For example,  
with suffix dc=tripplite,dc=com, the fully qualified name of all  
entries in the database will end with dc=tripplite,dc=com.  
Starting the OpenLDAP Server  
To start the OpenLDAP server, run slapd (the OpenLDAP server  
executable file) from the command line. slapd supports a number of  
command line options, the most important option is the d switch that  
triggers debug information. For example, a command of slapd -d  
256 would start OpenLDAP with a debug level of 256, as shown in  
the following screenshot:  
Note: For details about slapd options and their meanings, refer to the  
OpenLDAP documentation.

Administration  
Customizing the OpenLDAP Schema  
The schema that slapd uses may be extended to support additional  
syntaxes, matching rules, attribute types, and object classes. In the  
case of the B051-000, the B051-000 User class and the permission  
attribute are extended to define a new schema. The extended schema  
file used to authenticate and authorize users logging in to the B051-  
000 is shown in the figure, below:  
LDAP DIT Design and LDIF File  
LDAP Data Structure  
An LDAP directory stores information in a tree structure known  
as the Directory Information Tree (DIT). The nodes in the tree are  
directory entries, and each entry contains information in attribute-  
value form. An example of the LDAP directory tree for the B051-000  
is shown in the figure, below:  
DIT Creation  
The following figure illustrates an LDIF file that defines the  
OpenLDAP group for the B051-000.  
The LDAP Data Interchange Format (LDIF) is used to represent  
LDAP entries in a simple text format (please refer to RFC 2849). The  
figure below illustrates an LDIF file that creates the DIT for the B051-  
000 directory tree (shown in the figure, above).

Administration  
Using the New Schema  
To use the new schema, do the following:  
3. Restart the LDAP server.  
1. Save the new schema file (e.g., B051-000.schema) in the /  
OpenLDAP/ schema/ directory.  
4. Write the LDIF file and create the database entries in init.ldif with  
the ldapadd command, as shown in the following example:  
2. Add the new schema to the slapd.conf file, as shown in the figure,  
below:  
ldapadd -f init.ldif -x -D “cn=Manager,  
dc=tripplite,dc=com” -w secret  
Log Server Settings  
Important transactions that occur on the B051-000, such as logins and internal status messages, are kept in an automatically generated log file. In  
order for the B051-000 to communicate with the computer that the Log Server is installed on, the Log Server MAC Address and Port fields must  
be filled in. (See Chapter 8 for details on setting up the log server.)  
Log Server MAC Address  
This field should contain the MAC address of the Log Server computer.  
Port  
This field should contain the port that the Log Server computer will use to listen for log details. The valid port range is 1024 to 65535. The default  
port number is 9001.  
User Management  
Adding a User Profile  
The user management administration icon is used to create and

acceleration. (Click the Advanced button to get the dialog box for  
this.)  
Windows NT / Windows 98 / Windows 95:  
• Set the mouse speed to the slowest position.  
Sun / Linux  
Open a terminal session and issue the following command:  
Sun: xset m 1  
Auto-Sync Button  
In the Video Settings Menu, which is discussed in the following  
sections, there is an Auto-Sync button that also serves to sync  
the local and remote mouse pointers. In most cases, performing  
an Auto-Sync will align the two mouse pointers.  
Linux: xset m 0  
Mouse Sync Mode  
In the Customization Settings (see page 27) screen there are two  
mouse sync modes; Automatic and Manual.  
Video Quality Slider Bar  
The Video Settings Menu also contains a slider bar that adjusts the  
quality of the video being displayed on the monitor. The higher  
the quality of the video, the more data is being passed through the  
network. Higher volumes of data will cause a delay in the time that it  
takes for your keyboard and mouse input to appear on the monitor. To  
decrease the quality of the video and improve response time, adjust  
the Video Quality slider bar to a lower setting.  
• Automatic is selected as the default, and will automatically sync  
the remote and local mouse pointers; however, this feature only  
supports USB mice on Windows and Mac (G4 or higher) systems.  
For all other configurations, we recommend that you select Manual.  
• When Manual is checked, all mouse syncing must be done  
manually with the syncing procedures discussed in the following  
sections. Sun systems must use the Manual setting.  
Detect Tolerance Slider Bar  
USB IO Settings  
Also in the Video Settings Menu, the Detect Tolerance slider bar can  
be adjusted to limit the amount of information being sent through  
the network. If you are having problems with keyboard and mouse  
response time, setting the Detect Tolerance slider bar to high can help.  
The Customization Settings (see page 27) screen contains a  
section called USB IO Settings, which can have an affect on mouse  
functionality. When connecting to a computer or KVM switch with  
the USB connector for keyboard and mouse, it is necessary to access  
the OS drop-down list in this section to select the OS platform being  
used. Choices are PC, Mac1, Mac2, and Sun. PC is the default OS.  
Grayscale  
Another icon contained in the Windows Client Control Panel (see  
the following section) is the Grayscale icon. Clicking this icon will  
force the video on the monitor to be displayed in grayscale, which  
can reduce the amount of data traveling through the network, and  
improving keyboard and mouse response time.  
Note: In general, Mac 1 works best with older Mac OS versions,  
whereas Mac 2 works best with newer ones. This may vary, however.  
If you encounter problems with one setting, try selecting the other  
one.  
Adjust Mouse Hotkey  
The Windows Client Control Panel, which is discussed in the  
following sections, contains a Hotkey (Alt + M by default) that syncs  
the local mouse pointer with the remote mouse pointer. Simply press  
the (Alt + M) Hotkey, and the local and remote mouse pointers should  
sync within a few seconds.

Click Auto-Sync to have the function detect the vertical and horizontal offset values of the remote screen and  
automatically synchronize it with the local screen. If the local and remote mouse pointers are out of sync, in most  
cases, performing this function will bring them back into sync. If you are not satisfied with the results, use the Screen  
Position arrows to position the remote display manually.  
Note: This function works best with a bright screen.  
Video Quality  
Drag the slider bar to adjust the overall video quality. The higher the value, the clearer the picture and the more video  
data goes through the network. Depending on the network bandwidth, a high value may slow down keyboard and  
mouse response time.  
Enable Refresh  
Detect Tolerance  
The B051-000 can redraw the screen every 1 to 99 seconds to eliminate unwanted artifacts and provide a better  
picture. Select Enable Refresh and enter a number from 1 through 99. The B051-000 will redraw the screen at the  
interval you specify. This feature is disabled by default.  
This setting sets a threshold for filtering out undesired screen artifacts. Note: A high setting will decrease the amount of  
video information traveling through the network. If you are experiencing slow keyboard and mouse response time, this  
setting may help.  
Grayscale  
Click this button to toggle the remote display between grayscale and color. Switching to grayscale can help improve the keyboard and mouse  
response time by decreasing the amount of data that must travel through the network connection.

The Windows Client  
Virtual Media  
The B051-000’s Virtual Media feature allows a USB 2.0 device  
(Floppy drive, CDROM, Flash Drive, etc.), connected to a user’s  
computer/server, to be accessible on a remote computer/server or  
KVM with a USB Hub port.  
3. After you have made your media source selection, click Start.  
The device (or image file) that you have selected is then redirected  
to the remote server, where it shows up as a drive or folder on the  
remote server’s file system.  
To implement this redirection feature, do the following:  
Note: For the Virtual Media feature to work, the included Virtual  
Media USB cable must be connected between the B051-000 and the  
computer/server you wish to access the virtual media on. The USB  
cable can not be connected to a USB port on a KVM switch that is  
used for keyboard/mouse functionality. It can only be connected to a  
KVM switch that contains a USB port that is strictly a Hub port.  
1. Click on the icon to bring up the Virtual Media dialog box:  
Note: You can dismiss the Virtual Media dialog box at this point – the  
redirection will stay in effect. You can treat the folder as if it were  
really on the remote server; drag and drop files to/from it, open files  
on the remote system for editing and save them to the redirected  
drive, etc. Files that you save to the redirected drive folder will  
actually be saved to the USB device on your local system. Files that  
you drag from the redirected drive will actually come from the USB  
device on your local system.  
2. Select the media source.  
• If you select Drive, drop down the drive list to select the  
appropriate drive:  
4. To end the redirection, bring up the Virtual Media dialog box and

The Java Client Control Panel, which is discussed in the following sections, contains a Hotkey (Alt + M by default) that syncs the local mouse  
pointer with the remote mouse pointer. Simply press the (Alt + M) Hotkey and the local and remote mouse pointers should sync within a few  
seconds.  
Auto-Sync Button  
In the Video Settings Menu, which is discussed in the following sections, there is an Auto-Sync button that also server to sync the local and  
remote mouse pointers. In most cases, performing an Auto-Sync will align the two mouse pointers.  
Video Quality Slider Bar  
The Video Settings Menu also contains a slider bar that adjusts the quality of the video being displayed on the monitor. The higher the quality of  
the video, the more data is being passed through the network. Higher volumes of data will cause a delay in the time that it takes for your keyboard  
and mouse input to appear on the monitor. To decrease the quality of the video and improve response time, adjust the Video Quality slider bar to  
a lower setting.  
Detect Tolerance Slider Bar  
Also in the Video Settings Menu, the Detect Tolerance slider bar can be adjusted to limit the amount of information being sent through the  
network. If you are having problems with keyboard and mouse response time, setting the Detect Tolerance slider bar to high can help.  
Grayscale  
Another icon contained in the Java Client Control Panel (see the following section) is the Grayscale icon. Clicking this icon will force the video  
on the monitor to be displayed in grayscale, which can reduce the amount of data traveling through the network, and improving keyboard and  
mouse response time.

Video Settings (continued)  
The meanings of the adjustment options are given in the table below:  
Option  
Description  
Screen Position  
Auto-Sync  
Adjust the horizontal and vertical position of the remote computer window by clicking the Arrow buttons.  
Click Auto-Sync to have the function detect the vertical and horizontal offset values of the remote screen and automatically  
synchronize it with the local screen. If the local and remote mouse pointers are out of sync, in most cases, performing this  
function will bring them back into sync. If you are not satisfied with the results, use the Screen Position arrows to position the  
remote display manually.  
Note: This function works best with a bright screen.  
Video Quality  
Drag the slider bar to adjust the overall video quality. The higher the value, the clearer the picture and the more video data  
goes through the network. Depending on the network bandwidth, a high value may slow down keyboard and mouse response  
time.  
Enable Refresh  
Detect Tolerance  
The B051-000 can redraw the screen every 1 to 99 seconds to eliminate unwanted artifacts and provide a better picture.  
Select Enable Refresh and enter a number from 1 through 99. The B051-000 will redraw the screen at the interval you specify.  
This feature is disabled by default.  
This setting sets a threshold for filtering out undesired screen artifacts. Note: A high setting will decrease the amount of video  
information traveling through the network. If you are experiencing slow keyboard and mouse response time, this setting may  
help.  
Grayscale  
Click this button to toggle the remote display between grayscale and color. Switching to grayscale can help improve the keyboard and mouse  
response time by decreasing the amount of data that must travel through the network connection.

After making any network changes, be sure Reset on exit on the Customization page has been enabled (there is a check in the checkbox), before  
logging out. This allows network changes to take effect without having to power the B051-000 off and on.  
Security  
The Security page is used to control access to the B051-000.  
The settings on this page are described below:  
Overview  
• IP and MAC Filters control access to the B051-000 based on  
the IP and/or MAC addresses of the computers attempting to  
access the system. If any filters have been configured, they  
appear in the IP Filter and/or MAC Filter list boxes.  
• The Default web page name lets the Administrator specify  
a login string (in addition to the IP address) that users must  
include when they access the B051-000 with a browser.  
Users must include the forward slash and the string along  
when they specify the IP address. For security purposes, we  
recommend that you change this string from time to time.  
For example: entering abcdefg in the Default web page  
name field will require users to type in 192.168.0.126/  
abcdefg to access the B051-000 remotely.  
Note: If no string is specified here, anyone can access the B051-  
000 with a Web browser using the IP address alone. This makes the  
installation less secure.  
Filtering  
To enable IP and/or MAC Filtering, click the IP Filter Enable and/or MAC Filter Enable checkbox. There are a maximum of 100 filters  
allowed for each.  
• If the include button is checked, all the addresses within the filter range are allowed access to the B051-000; all other addresses are denied  
access.  
• If the exclude button is checked, all the addresses within the filter range are denied access to the B051-000; all other addresses are allowed  
access.

OpenLDAP Server  
OpenLDAP is an open source LDAP server designed for UNIX platforms. A Windows version can be downloaded from:  
Setup.exe.  
OpenLDAP Server Installation  
After downloading the program, launch the installer, select your  
language, accept the license and choose the target installation  
directory. The default directory is:  
c:\Program Files\OpenLDAP.  
When the Select Components dialog box appears, select install BDB-  
tools and install OpenLDAP-slapd as NT service, as shown in the  
diagram:  
OpenLDAP Server Configuration  
The main OpenLDAP configuration file, slapd.conf, has to be customized before launching the server. The modifications to the configuration file  
will do the following:  
• Specify the Unicode data directory. The default is ./ucdata.  
• Choose the required LDAP schemas. The core schema is mandatory.  
• Configure the path for the OpenLDAP pid and args start up files. The first contains the server pid, the second includes command line arguments.  
• Choose the database type. The default is bdb (Berkeley DB).  
• Specify the server suffix. All entries in the directory will have this suffix, which represents the root of the directory tree. For example, with  
suffix dc=tripplite,dc=com, the fully qualified name of all entries in the database will end with dc=tripplite,dc=com.  
• Define the name of the administrator entry for the server (rootdn), along with its password (rootpw). This is the servers super user. The rootdn  
name must match the suffix defined above. (Since all entry names must end with the defined suffix, and the rootdn is an entry.)

AP Operation  
OpenLDAP Server Configuration (continued)  
An example configuration file is provided in the figure:  
Starting the OpenLDAP Server  
To start the OpenLDAP Server, run slapd (the OpenLDAP Server  
executable file) from the command line. slapd supports a number of  
command line options, the most important option is the d switch that  
triggers debug information. For example, a command of slapd -d  
256 would start OpenLDAP with a debug level of 256, as shown in  
the following screenshot:  
Note: For details about slapd options and their meanings, refer to the  
OpenLDAP documentation.  
Customizing the OpenLDAP Schema  
The schema that slapd uses may be extended to support additional  
syntaxes, matching rules, attribute types, and object classes. In the  
case of the B051-000, the B051-000User class and the permission  
attribute are extended to define a new schema. The extended schema  
file used to authenticate and authorize users logging in to the B051-  
000 is shown in the figure, below:  
LDAP Data Structure  
An LDAP directory stores information in a tree structure known  
as the Directory Information Tree (DIT). The nodes in the tree are  
directory entries, and each entry contains information in attribute-  
value form. An example of the LDAP directory tree for the B051-000  
is shown in the figure, below:

DIT Creation  
The LDAP Data Interchange Format (LDIF) is used to represent  
LDAP entries in a simple text format (please refer to RFC 2849). The  
figure below illustrates an LDIF file that creates the DIT for the B051-  
000 directory tree (shown in the figure, above).  
The following figure illustrates an LDIF file that defines the  
OpenLDAP group for the B051-000.  
Using the New Schema  
3. Restart the LDAP server.  
To use the new schema, do the following:  
4. Write the LDIF file and create the database entries in init.ldif with  
the ldapadd command, as shown in the following example:  
1. Save the new schema file (e.g., B051-000.schema) in the /  
OpenLDAP/ schema/ directory.  
ldapadd -f init.ldif -x -D “cn=Manager,dc=trip  
plite,dc=com” -w secret  
2. Add the new schema to the slapd.conf file, as shown in the figure,

Troubleshooting (continued)  
The Log Server  
Problem  
Resolution  
The Log Server program does not run.  
The Log Server requires the Microsoft Jet OLEDB 4.0 driver in order to access the  
database. This driver is automatically installed with Windows ME, 2000 and XP. For  
com/data/download.htm to retrieve the driver file MDAC 2.7 RTM Refresh (2.70.9001.0).  
Since this driver is used in Windows Office Suite, an alternate method of obtaining it is to  
install Windows Office Suite. Once the driver file or Suite has been installed, the Log Server  
will run.  
Mouse Synchronization Tips  
Before trying any mouse synchronization procedures, it is always a good idea to ensure that you go to your Mouse Properties Settings and set  
them according to the following:  
Windows  
Note: In order for the local and remote mice to synchronize, you must use the generic mouse driver supplied with the MS operating system. If  
you have a third party driver installed - such as one supplied by the mouse manufacturer - you must remove it.  
Windows 2000:  
Windows XP / Windows Server 2003:  
1. Open the Mouse Properties dialog box (Control Panel Mouse  
Mouse Properties)  
1. Open the Mouse Properties dialog box (Control Panel Mouse)  
2. Click the Pointer Options tab.

Sun / Linux  
Open a terminal session and issue the following command:  
Sun: xset m 1  
Linux: xset m 0  
Mouse Sync Mode  
In the Customization Settings screen there are two mouse sync modes; Automatic and Manual.  
• Automatic is selected as the default, and will automatically sync the remote and local mouse pointers; however, this feature only supports USB  
mice on Windows and Mac (G4 or higher) systems. For all other configurations, we recommend that you select Manual.  
• When Manual is checked, all mouse syncing must be done manually with the syncing procedures discussed in the following sections. Sun  
systems must use the Manual setting.  
USB IO Settings  
The Customization Settings screen contains a section called USB IO Settings, which can have an affect on mouse functionality. When connecting  
to a computer or KVM switch with the USB connector for keyboard and mouse, it is necessary to access the OS drop-down list in this section to  
select the OS platform being used. Choices are PC, Mac1, Mac2, and Sun. PC is the default OS.  
Note: In general, Mac 1 works best with older Mac OS versions, whereas Mac 2 works best with newer ones. This may vary, however. If you  
encounter problems with one setting, try selecting the other one.  
Adjust Mouse Hotkey  
The Windows Client Control Panel contains a Hotkey (Alt + M by default) that syncs the local mouse pointer with the remote mouse pointer.  
Simply press the (Alt + M) Hotkey, and the local and remote mouse pointers should sync within a few seconds.  
Auto-Sync Button  
In the Video Settings Menu there is an Auto-Sync button that also server to sync the local and remote mouse pointers. In most cases, performing  
an Auto-Sync will align the two mouse pointers.  
Video Quality Slider Bar  
The Video Settings Menu also contains a slider bar that adjusts the quality of the video being displayed on the monitor. The higher the quality of  
the video, the more data is being passed through the network. Higher volumes of data will cause a delay in the time that it takes for your keyboard  
and mouse input to appear on the monitor. To decrease the quality of the video and improve response time, adjust the Video Quality slider bar to  
a lower setting.  
Detect Tolerance Slider Bar  
Also in the Video Settings Menu, the Detect Tolerance slider bar can be adjusted to limit the amount of information being sent through the  
network. If you are having problems with keyboard and mouse response time, setting the Detect Tolerance slider bar to high can help.  
Grayscale  
Another icon contained in the Windows Client Control Panel is the Grayscale icon. Clicking this icon will force the video on the monitor to be  
displayed in grayscale, which can reduce the amount of data traveling through the network, and improving keyboard and mouse response time.
