First Start

With KCenter, IT administrators can easily manage large sets of KLEv2 and KMini. With KCenter a set of KLEv2 and/or KMini looks like a single non-blocking IP-KVM with an unlimited number of ports. KCenter is the central management point from where you can:

 

System Requirements

KCenter is a Java(TM) application. It can run on Windows, Linux, and MAC OS systems with a SUN Java(TM) Virtual Machine installed. The Java(TM) version required for running KCenter is 1.6 or higher. http://www.java.com/getjava

On Linux and MAC OS/X systems, KCenter must run in a root session.

 

Main Password

To run KCenter, you must provide a password. The default password is password. It is strongly recommended that you change the password at first application start. To do this, select Set Main Password in the Files menu.

 

Device Credentials

KCenter must use an administrator name/password to get access to the distributed IP KVMs. For security reasons this name/password is not preconfigured. You must set up a new user in all devices by using their web management. This is a onetime work that should not be skipped. After this setup is completed, a simple mouse click in KCenter gives access to any device without anymore user name/password haslle.

So using a browser, please open the web management of each IP KVM. In the user-management page, add a new user with administrator rights for KCenter access. Then in KCenter, click on tabs Settings and then Security to open the Device Management Authentication page. Fill in the user name and password.

For example in each IP KVM add an administrator whose name is "kcenter_user", and password is "kcenter_password", and in KCenter Device Management Authentication page, also fill in "kcenter_user" and "kcenter_password". Do not hesitate to chose a complicated and secure password since you will not have to type it anymore.
