freeView IP 100 User’s Manual  
2 Introduction  
Thank you for purchasing the freeView IP 100. The freeView IP 100 saves money, time, space,  
equipment and power. The freeView IP 100 defines a new class of remote KVM access devices,  
it combines digital remote KVM access via IP networks with comprehensive and integrated  
system management.  
The device provides convenient, remote KVM access and control via LAN or Internet. It captures,  
digitizes, and compresses the video signal and transmits it with keyboard and mouse signals to  
and from a remote computer. The freeView IP 100 provides a non-intrusive solution for remote  
access and control. Remote access and control software runs on the embedded processor only  
and not on the mission-critical servers, so that there is no impact on server or network  
performance.  
Furthermore, the freeView IP 100 offers additional remote power management when used with  
an optional IP Power device.  
The device supports consoles consisting of a PS/2 keyboard and mouse and HDDB 15 video  
output and will automatically detect the current video mode of the console. The freeView IP 100  
will accept video streams up to 110 MHz. This results in a screen resolution of 1280x1024 pixels  
with a frame rate of 60 Hz.  
2.1 When The Server Is Operational  
The freeView IP 100 gives you full control over the remote server. The Management Console  
allows you to access the remote server’s graphics, keyboard and mouse and the ability to send  
special commands to the server. You can also perform periodic maintenance on the server.  
Using the Remote Console, you can do the following:  
A. Reboot the system.  
B. Monitor the boot process.  
C. Boot to a different operating system on dual-boot machines.  
D. Boot up in Windows Safe Mode.  
E. Boot the system from a separate partition to load diagnostic environment.  
F. Run special diagnostic programs.  
2.2 When The Server Is Non-Operational  
Using the freeView IP 100, the system administrator can discover problems with the server,  
though fixing hardware problems is not possible through a remote management device.  
Nevertheless, the device gives the administrator valuable information about the type of hardware  
failure. Serious hardware failures can be categorized into five different categories, with the  
percentage chance of failure listed below:  
A. Hard disk failure 50%

B. Power cable detached, power supply failure 28%  
C. CPU, Controller, main board failure 10%  
D. CPU fan failure 8%  
E. RAM failure 4%  
Using the freeView IP 100, administrators can determine which kind of serious hardware failure  
has occurred (See table 2-1).

With this option, the user can specify whether the freeView IP 100 gets its network settings from  
a DHCP or BOOTP server. For DHCP, enter “dhcp”, and for BOOTP enter “bootp”. If neither  
option is selected, the IP auto configuration is disabled and the network settings will need to be  
configured manually.  
IP [192.168.1.22]:  
The IP address of the unit. This option is only applied if IP auto configuration is set to none.  
Net mask [255.255.255.0]:  
The subnet mask of the unit. This option is only applied if IP auto configuration is set to none.  
Gateway (0.0.0.0 for none) [0.0.0.0]:  
The IP address of the default gateway of the device. If a default gateway is not available, enter  
0.0.0.0. This option is only applied if IP auto configuration is set to none.  
4.5 Keyboard, Mouse And Video Configuration  
The freeView IP 100 can be connected to the host machine’s peripheral ports via PS/2 or USB.  
The correct operation of the remote mouse depends on several settings which will be discussed  
in the following subsections.  
4.5.1  
freeView IP 100 Keyboard Settings  
The freeView IP 100’s settings for the host keyboard type have to be correct in order for the  
remote keyboard to work properly. See Section 6.4.2 for details.

freeView IP 100 User’s Manual  
4.5.2  
Remote Mouse Settings  
A common problem with KVM devices is the synchronization between the local and remote  
mouse cursors. The freeView IP 100 addresses this problem with an intelligent synchronization  
algorithm. There are two mouse modes available on the freeView IP 100:  
Auto mouse speed  
The automatic mouse mode tries to detect the speed and acceleration settings of the host  
system automatically. See the section below for a more detailed explanation.  
Fixed mouse speed  
This mode translates the mouse movements from the Remote Console in a way that one pixel  
move will lead to a fixed number of pixel moves on the remote system. The number of pixels can  
be adjusted using the scaling feature. It should be noted that this will only work when mouse  
acceleration is turned off on the remote system.  
4.5.3  
Auto Mouse Speed And Mouse Synchronization  
The automatic mouse mode performs the speed detection during mouse synchronization. If the  
local mouse loses synchronization with the remote mouse, there are two methods for  
re-synchronizing local and remote mouse:  
Fast Sync  
Fast synchronization is used to correct a temporary, but fixed skew. Choose this option using the  
Remote Console options menu or press the mouse synchronization hotkey sequence if it has  
been defined.  
Intelligent Sync  
If fast synchronization does not work or the mouse settings have been changed on the host  
system, use intelligent resynchronization. This method takes more time than the fast  
synchronization and can be accessed in the Remote Console option menu. Intelligent  
synchronization requires the picture be adjusted correctly. Use the auto adjustment function or  
the manual correction in the Video Settings panel to configure the picture. The Sync Mouse  
button at the top of the Remote Console behaves differently, depending on the current state of  
mouse synchronization. Pressing this button will perform a fast sync, except when the KVM port  
or the video mode have been changed, in which case an intelligent sync will be performed.  
Note: When using the console for the first time, press the Auto Adjust Button if the local mouse  
pointer is not synchronized with the remote mouse pointer.

4.5.4  
Host System Mouse Settings  
The host's operating system knows various settings from the mouse driver.  
Note that the following limitations do not apply if the Mouse Type is set to USB and “MS Windows  
2000 and newer”.  
While the freeView IP 100 works with accelerated mice and is able to synchronize the local with  
the remote mouse pointer, there are limitations which may prevent this synchronization from  
working properly:  
Special Mouse Driver  
There are mouse drivers which influence the synchronization process and lead to  
desynchronized mouse pointers. If this occurs, disable the vendor-specific mouse driver on the  
host system.  
Windows XP Mouse Settings  
Windows XP has a setting called “improve mouse acceleration” which has to be deactivated.  
Active Desktop  
If the Active Desktop feature of Microsoft Windows is enabled, do not use a plain background,  
use a wallpaper instead. Alternatively, Active Desktop can be disabled altogether.  
Move the mouse pointer to the upper left corner of the applet screen and move it back and forth  
slightly to resynchronize the mouse. If resynchronizing fails, disable mouse acceleration and  
repeat the procedure.  
4.5.5  
Single And Double Mouse Mode  
The information above applies to the Double Mouse Mode, where both the remote and local  
mouse pointers are visible and need to be synchronized. The freeView IP 100 also supports a  
Single Mouse Mode, where only the remote mouse pointer is visible. Enable this mode in the  
open Remote Console and click in the window area to activate it. The local mouse pointer will be  
hidden and the remote mouse pointer can be controlled directly. To leave this mode, it is  
necessary to define a mouse hotkey in the Remote Console Settings Panel. Press this key to  
free the captured local mouse pointer.  
4.5.6  
Recommended Mouse Settings  
The following are suggestions for mouse modes for various operating systems:  
22  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
freeView IP 100 User’s Manual  
MS Windows 2000/2003 (Professional and Server), XP  
It is recommended to use the USB mouse option. Choose USB without Mouse Sync. For a PS/2  
mouse choose Auto Mouse Speed. For XP disable the “enhance pointer precision” option in the  
Control Panel.  
SUN Solaris  
Adjust the mouse settings either via xset m 1 or use the CDE Control Panel to set the mouse to  
1:1, no acceleration. As an alternative, use Single Mouse Mode.  
MAC OS X  
It is recommended that the Single Mouse Mode be used.  
4.5.7  
Video Modes  
The freeView IP 100 supports most common video modes. When running X11 on the host  
system, do not use any custom mode lines with special video modes, otherwise, the device may  
not be able to detect the video mode. It is recommended that a standard VESA video mode is  
used instead.

5 Usage  
5.1 Prerequisites  
The freeView IP 100 features an embedded operating system and applications offering a variety  
of standardized interfaces. This chapter will describe both these interfaces, and how to use them  
in detail. The interfaces are accessed using the TCP/IP protocol, thus they can be accessed  
though the Ethernet interface.  
5.2 HTTP/HTTPS  
Full access is provided by the embedded web server. The freeView IP 100 can be managed  
using a standard web browser. The web interface can be accessed using the insecure HTTP  
protocol, or the encrypted HTTPS protocol. Whenever possible, use HTTPS for increased  
security.  
Telnet  
A standard Telnet client can be used to access an arbitrary device connected to the freeView IP  
100’s serial port via a terminal mode.  
The primary interface of the freeView IP 100 is the HTTP interface. This is covered extensively in  
this chapter. Other interfaces are addressed in subtopics.  
In order to use the Remote Console window of the managed host system, the browser has to  
support Java Runtime Environment (JRE) version 1.1 or higher. If the browser does not have  
Java support (such as on a PDA), the web interface and be accessed and configure, but the  
remote console will be unavailable.  
Important: It is recommended that the latest version of Sun’s JVM is installed.  
For an insecure (HTTP) connection to the device, the following browsers are recommended:  
Microsoft Internet Explorer version 6.0 or higher on Windows 98, Windows ME, Windows  
2000 and Windows XP  
Netscape Navigator 7.0 or Mozilla 1.6 on Windows 98, Windows ME, Windows 2000,  
Windows XP, Linux and other UNIX-like Operating Systems  
In order to access the remote host system using a securely encrypted connection, a browser that  
supports the HTTPS protocol is required. Strong security is only assured by using a key length of  
128-bit. Some older browsers do not support 128-bit encryption.  
Using the Internet Explorer, the current key length supported can be found under “Help”, “About  
Internet Explorer”. The dialog box contains a link that leads to information on how to upgrade the

browser to a state of the art encryption scheme. Figure 5-1 shows the dialog box presented by  
the Internet Explorer 6.0.  
Figure 5-1: Encryption Key Length in Internet Explorer  
Newer web browsers support strong encryption by default.  
5.3 Logging In And Logging Out  
5.3.1  
Logging In  
Launch the web browser and enter the address of the freeView IP 100 in the Address Bar. The  
address used can be an IP address or a host and domain name, in the case where the DNS  
server has a symbolic name. For example, type the following in the address line of the web  
browser when establishing an unsecured connection:  
When using a secure connection, type in:

5.4 The Remote Console  
General description  
The Remote Console is the redirected screen, keyboard and mouse of the remote host system  
connected to the freeView IP 100.  
Figure 5-4: Remote Console  
The Remote Console window is a Java Applet that establishes its own connection to the  
freeView IP 100. The protocol used by the Remote Console is RFB (Remote Frame Buffer  
Protocol). Currently, RFB uses port number 443 to establish a connection. For proper operation,  
ensure that the local network environment allows traffic on port 443.

Note: If the freeView IP 100 is connected to the Internet through a proxy server without NAT, the  
Remote Console will not be available from the WAN interface because web proxies are not able  
to relay the RFB packets.  
In case of problems, consult the network administrator for proper network configuration.  
5.5 Main Window  
Starting the Remote Console will open another additional window which displays the screen  
content of the host system. The Remote Console will behave the same as if it was being used  
locally, including the keyboard and mouse. However, the reaction time for the keyboard and  
mouse will have a slight delay. The severity of the delay depends on the bandwidth available to  
access the unit. Also, special keyboard combinations (e.g. Ctrl-Alt-Del in Windows) will affect the  
local system and not the remote system. See the next section for more details.  
Note: If a keyboard whose language is different from the host system’s default language is used  
(e.g. a US English local keyboard is used to control a remote host running a German operating  
system), the local language will be used instead of the remote language. In the previous example,  
US characters will be sent to the host instead of German characters. To emulate the remote host  
language, select the appropriate language using the Local Keyboard option in the dropdown  
menu. See the next section for more details.  
The Remote Console window will automatically adjust to fit the size of the remote screen.  
However, the Remote Console window can be resized manually in the local window system the  
same way as other applications.  
Note: The Remote Console window must be selected in the local operating system in order for  
mouse and keyboard input to be sent to the remote host.  
5.5.1  
Remote Console Control Bar  
The top bar of the Remote Console window shown in Figure 5-5 contains the control bar. The  
control bar displays the state of the remote device and also allows the user to change the  
Remote Console settings.

Mouse Handling  
The submenu for mouse handling offers two options for synchronizing the local and the remote  
mouse pointer.  
Fast Sync: The fast synchronization is used to correct a temporary, but fixed skew.  
Intelligent Sync: Use this option if fast sync does not work or if the mouse settings have been  
changed on the host system. Note: Intelligent Sync takes more time than Fast Sync. Use the  
auto adjustment function or manual correction in the Video Settings panel to setup the picture.  
Local Cursor  
Offers a list of different cursor shapes to choose from for the local mouse pointer. The selected  
shape will be saved for the current user and activated the next time this user opens the Remote  
Console. The number of available shapes depends on the Java Virtual Machine; a version of 1.2  
or higher offers the full list.

Video Settings Through The Web Interface  
This option enables the local video port. This option determines whether or not the video output  
from the host is transmitted to the local monitor.  
The Noise Filter option defines how the freeView IP 100 reacts to small changes in the video  
input signal. A large filter setting uses less network traffic and leads to a faster video display, but  
small changes in the display may not be recognized and updated on the remote immediately. A  
small filter setting displays all changes on the remote host instantly but will produce more  
network traffic (depending on the quality of the video input signal). The default setting should be  
suitable for most situations.

Encoding  
Figure 5-14: Encoding  
Allows the user to adjust both the compression rate and the colour depth individually. Depending  
on the selected compression rate, the data stream between the freeView IP 100 and the Remote  
Console will be compressed in order to save bandwidth. Increasing the compression rate  
requires more resources from the freeView IP 100, thus should not be used when multiple users  
are accessing the remote console simultaneously.  
The default color depth is 16 Bit (65536 colors). The other color depths are intended for slower  
network connections since they require less bandwidth. Therefore compression level 0 (no  
compression) uses only 16 Bit color depth. At lower bandwidths, only 4 Bit (16 colors) and 2 Bit  
(4 gray scales) are recommended for typical desktop interfaces. Photo-quality pictures have best  
results with 4 Bit (16 gray scales). 1 Bit color depth (black/white) should only be used for  
extremely slow network connections.

Telnet Console  
Figure 6-2: Telnet Console  
The freeView IP 100 features a Telnet server that enables the user to connect to the host via a  
standard Telnet client. If the Telnet program uses a VT100, VT102 or VT220 terminal emulation  
(or a similar emulation), it is possible to perform a console redirection as long as the host  
machine is using a text based operating system (e.g. Unix).  
Connecting to the freeView IP 100 requires a telnet client on the local machine. To access the  
device, run the telnet program and specify the IP address of the unit. For example, if the unit’s IP  
address is 192.168.1.22, type in “telnet 192.168.1.22” in Unix or Windows. Once connected, the  
user will be prompted for username and password. The credentials for authentication are  
identical to those of the web interface.  
Once the user has successfully logged into the device, a command line will be presented and the  
user can enter management commands.  
The Telnet interface supports two operation modes: the command line mode and the terminal  
mode. The command line mode is used to control or display device parameters. In terminal mode  
the connection is made from the local machine to the device connected to the serial port on the  
unit (if the serial settings are set correctly). All user input on the local machine are redirected to  
the device connected to the serial port and the response is displayed on the Telnet interface.

Creating An Image  
Floppy Images  
Unix, Solaris, Linux  
To create an image file, use the “dd” command in the operating system. This is a standard  
command included with most Unix, Solaris, and Linux distributions.  
To create a floppy image file, copy the contents of a floppy to a file using the following command:  
dd [ if=/dev/fd0 ] [ of=/tmp/floppy.image ]  
In this example, dd reads the entire disc from the device /dev/fd0, and saves the output in the  
specified output file /tmp/floppy.image.  
MS Windows  
A third party utility is required to create a floppy disk image. One such utility is RawWrite written  
by John Newbigin which can be found here:  
Note that this is a third party software and is only mentioned as a reference and is neither  
endorsed or supported by freedom9.

content should be saved. Click on the “Copy” button to initiate the image creation process.  
CD-ROM/ISO Images  
Unix, Solaris, Linux  
To create an image file, use the “dd” command in the operating system. This is a standard  
command included with most Unix, Solaris, and Linux distributions.  
To create a CDROM image file, copy the contents of the CDROM to a file. The following  
command can be used:  
dd [ if=/dev/cdrom ] [ of=/tmp/cdrom.image ]  
In this example, dd reads the entire disc from the device /dev/cdrin, and saves the output in the  
specified output file /tmp/cdrom.image.  
MS Windows  
To create the image file, use a third party CD imaging tool. Copy the whole contents of the disc  
into one single image file on the local hard disk.  
For example, with “Nero” software, choose “Copy and Backup”. Then, navigate to the “Copy  
Disc” section. Select the CD-ROM or DVD drive to create an image from. Specify the filename of  
the image, and save the CD-ROM contents in that file.

6.4.1  
User Console  
The settings for the User Consoler are user specific. Meaning the super user can customize  
these settings for every users separately. Changing the settings for one user does not affect the  
settings for the other users.  
Figure 6-22: User Console Settings (Part 1)  
User select box: This selection box displays the user ID which is being modified. The “super”  
user can change the settings of other users.  
Transmission Encoding: The Transmission Encoding setting changes the image-encoding  
algorithm that is used to transmit the video data to the Remote Console window. It is possible to  
optimize the speed of the remote screen depending on the number of users working at the same  
time and the bandwidth of the connection (Modem, ISDN, DSL, LAN, etc.).  
Automatic detection: The encoding and the compression level is determined automatically  
from the available bandwidth and the current content of the video image.  
Pre-configured: The pre-configured settings deliver the best result because of optimized  
adjustment of compression and colour depth for the indicated network speed.  
Manually: Allows both the compression rate and the colour depth to be adjusted individually.  
Depending on the selected compression rate the data stream between the freeView IP 100  
and the Remote Console will be compressed in order to save bandwidth. Increasing the  
compression rate requires more resources from the freeView IP 100, thus should not be used  
when multiple users are accessing the remote console simultaneously. The default color  
53  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
 
depth is 16 Bit (65536 colors). The other color depths are intended for slower network  
connections since they require less bandwidth. Therefore compression level 0 (no  
compression) uses only 16 Bit color depth. At lower bandwidths, only 4 Bit (16 colors) and 2  
Bit (4 gray scales) are recommended for typical desktop interfaces. Photo-quality pictures  
have best results with 4 Bit (16 gray scales). 1 Bit color depth (black/white) should only be  
used for extremely slow network connections.  
Figure 6-22: User Console Settings (Part 2)  
Remote Console Type: Specifies which Remote Console Viewer to use, the Default  
Java-Virtual Machine or Sun Microsystems Java Browser Plugin.  
Default Java VM: Selects the default Java Virtual Machine of the Browser. This may be the  
Microsoft JVM or the Sun JVM depending on the configuration. Use of the Sun JVM may also  
be forced by selecing Sun Microsystems Java Browser Plugin  
Sun Microsystems Java Browser Plugin: Instructs the web browser of the local system to  
use the JVM from Sun Microsystems. The JVM in the browser is used to run the code for the  
Remote Console window, which is a Java Applet. If this box is checked and the appropriate  
Java plug-in is not already installed on the system, it will be downloaded and installed  
automatically. Once installation begins, follow the step by step instructions in install the virtual

machine. The advantage of downloading Sun's JVM is that it provides a stable and identical  
Java Virtual Machine across different platforms. The Remote Console software is optimized  
for this JVM version and offers a wider range of functionality when run in Sun's JVM.  
Miscellaneous Remote Console Settings:  
Start in Monitor Mode: Sets the initial value for the monitor mode. By default the monitor  
mode is off. If this feature is turned on, the Remote Console window will start in read only  
mode.  
Start in Exclusive Access Mode: Enables exclusive access mode immediately at Remote  
Console startup. This forces the Remote Consoles of all other users to close. No one can  
open the Remote Console at the same time again until this user disables exclusive access or  
logs off.  
Mouse Hotkey: Allows the user to specify a hotkey combination which starts either the mouse  
synchronization process if pressed in the Remote Console, or is used to leave the single mouse  
mode.  
Remote Console Button Keys: Button Keys allow simulating keystrokes on the remote system  
that cannot be generated locally. The reason for this might be a missing key on the keyboard or  
that the operating system on the local machine is catching these keystroke already. Typical  
examples are “Control+Alt+Delete” and “Alt+Tab” on Windows and DOS, what are always caught  
locally, or “Control+Backspace” on Linux for terminating the X-Server. The syntax to define a new  
Button Key is as follows:  
[confirm] <keycode>[+|-[*]<keycode>]*  
“confirm” requests confirmation by a dialog box before the key strokes will be sent to the remote  
host.  
“keycode” is the key to be sent. Multiple key codes can be concatenated with a plus, or a minus  
sign. The plus sign builds key combinations, all keys will be pressed until a minus sign or the end  
of the combination is encountered. In this case all pressed keys will be released in reversed  
sequence. The minus sign builds single, separate key presses and releases. The star inserts a  
pause with duration of 100 milliseconds.

Keyboard/Mouse  
Figure 6-23: Keyboard and Mouse Settings  
Host Interface: Sets which interface the mouse is connected to. The choices are “Auto” for  
automatic detection, “USB” for a USB mouse, and “PS/2” for a PS/2 mouse.  
Note: To use the USB and/or PS/2 interface, the correct cabling (USB and/or PS/2) needs to be  
connected between the freeView IP 100 and the host server. If the managed host does not  
support USB keyboards at the BIOS level, and a USB interface is being used, remote keyboard  
access will not be available during the boot process of the host. If both USB and PS/2 interfaces  
are connected and “Auto” is selected as the host interface, the device will select “USB” if  
available, otherwise it falls back to “PS/2”.  
To have USB remote keyboard access during the boot process of the host, the following  
conditions must be fulfilled:  
The host BIOS must have USB keyboard support  
The USB cable must be connected and must be selected in the Host interface option  
PS/2 Keyboard Model: Selects the keyboard layout. Available options are “Generic 101-Key  
PC” for a standard keyboard layout, “Generic 104-Key PC” for a standard keyboard layout  
extendend by three additional windows keys, “Generic 106-Key PC” for a Japanese keyboard,  
and “Apple Macintosh” for an Apple Macintosh keyboard.

USB Mouse Type: Selects the USB mouse type. Available options are “MS Windows 2000 or  
newer” for MS Windows 2000 or Windows XP, or “Other Operating Systems” for MS Windows NT,  
Linux, or OS X. In “MS Windows 2000 or newer” mode the remote mouse is always synchronized  
with the local mouse.  
Mouse Speed:  
Auto mouse speed: Select this option if mouse acceleration is enabled on the host system.  
The freeView IP 100 will try to detect the acceleration and speed of the mouse during the  
mouse sync process.  
Fixed mouse speed: Use a direct translation of mouse movements between the local  
mouse and the remote pointer.  
A fixed scaling can also be set which determines the number of pixels the remote mouse pointer  
is moved when the local mouse pointer is moved by one pixel. This option only works when the  
mouse settings on the host are linear (i.e. mouse acceleration is disabled).

Miscellaneous Video Settings  
Noise filter: This option defines how the freeView IP 100 reacts to small changes in the  
video input signal. A large filter setting uses less network traffic and leads to a faster video  
display, but small changes in the display may not be recognized and updated on the remote  
immediately. A small filter setting displays all changes on the remote host instantly but will  
produce more network traffic (depending on the quality of the video input signal). In general,  
the default setting should be suitable for most situations.

Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
 
freeView IP 100 User’s Manual  
Figure 6-27: Dynamic DNS Scenario  
The freeView IP 100 is reachable from the internet via the IP address of the DSL router, which is  
dynamically assigned by the service provider. Since the administrator does not know the IP  
address assigned by the provider at any given time, the freeView IP 100 connects to a special  
dynamic DNS server at regular intervals and registers its IP address there. The administrator can  
then contact the dynamic DNS server and find the IP address of the device.  
The administrator has to register the device that is with the Dynamic DNS service provider and  
assign a hostname (URL) to it. The Dynamic DNS service provider will assign a nickname and a  
password to the administrator. The hostname and the account information are needed to  
determine the IP address of the registered device.  
The following steps detail how to enable Dynamic DNS:  
Ensure that the LAN interface of the freeView IP 100 is properly configured.  
Enter the Dynamic DNS Settings configuration dialog as shown in Figure 6-26.  
Enable Dynamic DNS and specify the settings appropriately (see below).  
Enable Dynamic DNS: This enables the Dynamic DNS service. This requires a configured DNS  
server IP address.  
Dynamic DNS server: This is the name of the server where the device registers itself at regular  
intervals. Currently, this is a fixed setting since only dyndns.org is presently supported.  
Hostname: This is the hostname of the device that is provided by the Dynamic DNS Server. Use  
the whole name including the domain, (e.g. testserver.dyndns.org), not just the actual hostname.  
61  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
 
Username: The username provided by the Dynamic DNS Server. Spaces are not allowed in the  
username.  
Password: The password provided by the Dynamic DNS Server.  
Check time: The time which the device registers itself with the Dynamic DNS server.  
Check interval: The time interval which the device registers itself with the Dynamic DNS based  
on the Check time parameter above.  
Note: The freeView IP 100 has its own independent real-time clock. Ensure the time setting on  
the device is correct, see the section titled “Date and Time”.  
6.5.3  
Security  
Figure 6-28: Device Security  
Force HTTPS: When enabled, this option restricts access to the web interface to HTTPS  
connections only. The freeView IP will not listen on the HTTP port for incoming connections.  
For instructions on creating a customer SSL certificate that is used to identify the freeView IP 100,  
see the Section 6.5.4 titled “Certificate”.  
KVM encryption: This option controls the encryption of the RFB protocol. RFB is used by the  
Remote Console to transmit both the screen data to the administrator machine and keyboard  
and mouse data back to the host. If set to “Off”, no encryption will be used. If set to “Try”, the  
applet tries to create an encrypted connection. If an encrypted connection cannot be made, an  
unencrypted connection will be used. If set to “Force”, the applet tries to create an encrypted

freeView IP 100 User’s Manual  
connection. If an encrypted connection cannot be made, an error will be reported.  
6.5.4  
Certificate  
Figure 6-29: Certificate Settings  
The freeView IP 100 uses the Secure Socket Layer (SSL) protocol for any encrypted network  
traffic between itself and a connected client. During the connection establishment, the device has  
to expose its identity to a client using a cryptographic certificate. By default, this certificate and  
the underlying secret key is the same for all freeView IP 100’s and will not match the network  
configuration that will the device is connected to. The certificate's underlying secret key is also  
used for securing the SSL handshake. Hence, there is still a potential security risk when using  
the default SSL certificate, but it is more secure than no encryption at all.  
It is possible to generate and install a new certificate that is unique for a particular freeView IP  
100. In order to do this, the freeView IP 100 can generate a new cryptographic key and the  
associated Certificate Signing Request (CSR) that needs to be certified by a certification  
authority (CA). A certification authority verifies that the device and identity are legitimate and  
signs and issues a SSL certificate for the device.  
The following steps are necessary to create and install a SSL certificate for the freeView IP 100:  
Create an SSL Certificate Signing Request using the panel shown in Figure 6-29. Complete  
the fields on the page. The fields are explained below. Once completed, click on the “Create”  
63  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
 
button which will initiate the Certificate Signing Request generation. The CSR can be  
downloaded to the local machine with the “Download CSR” button (see Figure 6-30).  
Send the saved CSR to a CA for certification. Once the CA has completed their  
authentication process, a new certificate will be issued for the device..  
Upload the certificate to the freeView IP 100 using the “Upload” button as shown in Figure  
6-30.  
Figure 6-30: SSL Certificate Upload  
After completing these three steps, the freeView IP 100 will have its own certificate that is used  
for identifying the card to its clients.  
Note: If the CSR on the device is lost or destroyed, it cannot be recovered. The steps above  
must be completed again in order to obtain a new certificate.  
Common name: This is the network name of the freeView IP 100 once it is installed in the  
network (usually the fully qualified domain name). It is identical to the name that is used to  
and the actual network name differ, the browser will pop up a security warning when the unit is  
accessed using HTTPS.  
Organizational unit: This field is used for specifying which department within an organization  
owns the device.  
Organization: The name of the organization.  
Locality/City: The city where the organization is located.  
State/Province: The state or province where the organization is located.  
64

freeView IP 100 User’s Manual  
Country (ISO code): The country where the organization is located. This is the two-letter ISO  
code, e.g. DE for Germany, CA for Canada, or US for the USA.  
Challenge Password: Some certification authorities require a challenge password to authorize  
later changes to the certificate (e.g. revocation of the certificate). The minimum length of this  
password is 4 characters.  
Confirm Challenge Password: Confirmation of the Challenge Password  
Email: The email address of a contact person that is responsible for the unit and its security.  
Key length: This is the length of the generated key in bits. 1024 Bits is sufficient for most cases.  
Longer keys may result in slower response time of the device during connection establishment.  
6.5.5  
Serial Port  
Figure 6-31: Serial Port  
The freeView IP 100’s Serial Settings (Figure 6-31) allows the user to specify what type of device  
is connected to the serial port and how to use it.  
Configuration or console login: Do not use the serial port for any special function, use it only  
for the initial configuration (see Table 4-1).  
Modem: The freeView IP 100 offers remote access using a telephone line in addition to the  
standard access over the Ethernet network. The modem needs to be connected to the serial  
65  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
 
interface of the freeView IP 100.  
A user can connect to the freeView IP 100 using a telephone line the same way that it would  
connect to an Internet Service Provider (ISP). By dialing the telephone number of the modem  
using third-party modem software on the local computer, the user can connect to the device  
through normal telephone lines. The connection is established using the Point-to-Point Protocol  
(PPP). Before connecting to the device, ensure that the console computer is configured correctly.  
For instance, Windows based operating systems default to PPP for dial-up network connections,  
which is correct.  
The Modem Settings panel sets the parameters used by the client to connect to the device. An  
explanation of the parameters is included below.  
Serial line speed: The speed the freeView IP 100 uses to communicate with the modem.  
Most modems available today will support the default value of 115200 bps. If an older modem  
is used and problems occur, try lowering this value.  
Modem init string: The initialization string used by the freeView IP 100 to initialize the  
modem. The default value will work with all standard modern modems directly connected to a  
telephone line. If a special modem is used or if the modem is connected to a local telephone  
switch that requires a special dial sequence to establish a connection to the public telephone  
network, change this setting by entering the correct a new string. Refer to the modem's  
manual about the AT command syntax to use.  
Modem server IP address: This IP address will be assigned to the freeView IP 100 itself  
during the PPP handshake. Since it is a point-to-point IP connection, almost any IP address  
is permitted, but it cannot be the same as the Ethernet connection of the device or the client.  
The default value will work in most cases.  
Modem client IP address: This IP address will be assigned to the console computer during  
the PPP handshake. Since it is a point-to-point IP connection, almost any IP address is  
permitted, but it cannot be the same as the Ethernet connection of the device or the client.  
The default value will work in most cases.  
Passthrough access to serial port via Telnet: If this option is enabled, a device with a serial  
interface (e.g. a managed switch) can be controlled by the local computer. Select the  
appropriate options for the serial port and use the Telnet Console, or a standard Telnet client to  
connect to the device.

Date And Time  
Figure 6-32: Date and Time  
This page allows the user to set the internal real-time clock of the freeView IP 100 switch can be  
set up (Figure 6-27). The time can be set manually or using an NTP (Network Time Protocol)  
server. If an NTP server is not used, the internal clock will need to be reset if the unit loses power  
for several minutes. The alternative is to use an NTP server, which set up the internal clock  
automatically to the current UTC (Coordinated Universal Time, also known as GMT) time.  
Because the NTP server time is always UTC, the UTC offset must be correct in order for the  
device to have the correct time.  
Note: The device does not adjust for daylight savings time automatically, so the UTC offset will  
have to be adjusted manually for daylight savings time.

Event Log  
Figure 6-33: Event Log  
Important events such as a login failure or a firmware update are logged to a selection of logging  
destinations (see Figure 6-33). Each of these events belongs to an event group, which can be  
selected separately.  
List logging enabled: This is the main method to log events. This method uses the internal log  
list of the freeView IP 100. To display the log, click on “Event Log” under the “Maintenance” menu.  
The number of log entries shown per page can be changed in this section, and the log can also  
be cleared by clicking the “Clear” button. Note: The maximum number of events that can be  
recorded in the log is 1000. Any entry added above this will overwrite the oldest entry in the log.  
Also, if the device is reset through the web interface, the log information will be stored. However,  
if the device loses power or a hard reset is performed, the log will be cleared.

NFS Logging enabled: If this option is selected, the freeView IP 100 will export the log  
information to a directory or static link on an NFS server. To write log data from more than one  
freeView IP 100 to the same NFS share, a unique file name must be defined for each device.  
Once the NFS settings are complete, click the “Apply” button. The NFS share will be mounted  
immediately. If the NFS share and the NFS server are not available, an error message will  
appear.  
Note: Unlike the internal log file, the size of the NFS log file is not limited by the device. Every log  
event will be appended to the end of the file so it will grow continuously. Remember to clean out  
old log entries from the file regularly.  
SMTP Logging enabled: If this option is selected, the freeView IP 100 will e-mail the log to an  
e-mail address specified in the Sender Email Address field. These e-mails contain the same  
information as the internal log file and the mail subject is filled with the event group of the  
occurred log event. In order to use this feature, an SMTP server must be specified which is  
accessible by the device and does not require authentication. The information should be entered  
in the following format:  
<serverip>:<port>  
SNMP Logging enabled: If this option is selected, the freeView IP 100 will send an SNMP trap  
to a specified destination IP address every time a log event occurs. If the receiver requires a  
community string, it can be set in the appropriate text field. Most of the event traps only contain  
one descriptive string with all information about the log event. Only authentication and host  
power events have their own trap class that consists of several fields with detailed information  
about the event. A third party SNMP monitor is required to receive the traps.

new functionality or special features.  
A new firmware update is a binary file which can be found on the freedom9 website at  
to unzip the file. Other operating systems will have their own unzip programs.  
Before updating the firmware of the device, the new uncompressed firmware file has to be saved  
on the local machine.  
To update the firmware, follow these steps:  
Save the firmware file on the local computer.  
Type in the path and filename of the firmware file, or click “Browse…” and search for the file  
on the system.  
Click “Upload”.  
Once the firmware file has been uploaded, it is checked to see if it is a valid firmware file and  
whether there were any transmission errors. In the case of an error, the Upload Firmware  
function will be aborted.  
Verify the new version of the firmware, and click “Update”. Note: This process is non  
reversible and might take a few minutes. Make sure the freeView IP 100 is not powered off  
during the update process, otherwise the device may be permanently damaged.  
After the firmware has been saved, a prompt will appear to reset the device manually. After  
the unit is reset, the new firmware will be loaded. However, the user will have to log into the  
unit again.  
Note: The firmware update procedure is thorough in looking for errors and inconsistencies,  
reducing the chances of an error occurring. However, only experienced staff or administrators  
should perform a firmware update. Ensure that the device is not powered off during the  
firmware upgrade.

Also, ensure that the web browser is configured to accept cookies.  
Q 004: The Remote Console window can’t connect to the host.  
A 004: A firewall may be preventing access to the Remote Console. Make sure that TCP port  
numbers 80 or 443 are open for incoming TCP connection establishments.  
Q 005: No connection can be established to the freeView IP 100.  
A 005: Check whether the network connection is working (ping the IP address of device). If not,  
check the network hardware and check if the device is powered on. Check whether the IP  
address of the device and all other IP related settings are correct. Check that there isn’t an IP  
conflict on the network (multiple devices using the same IP address). Verify that all of the IP  
infrastructure of your LAN, like routers etc., is correctly configured.  
Q 006: Special key combinations, e.g. ALT+F2, ALT+F3 are intercepted by the console system  
and not transmitted to the host.  
A 006: A ’Hot-key’ needs to be defined for special key combinations. See Section 5.5.1 for more  
details.  
Q 007: The web interface of the device looks abnormal.  
A 007: Ensure the web browser cache settings are correct. Particularly, check that the cache  
settings are not set to ”Never check for newer pages”. Otherwise, the device interface may be  
loaded from the browser cache and not from the device.
