Setting Panels

Click Settings in the left bar. Three tabs give access to the settings concerning devices, security and logs.

Device Settings

IP Viewer

When KCenter is running on a Windows OS, you should select the application that is launched when clicking on the Viewer button. Select either Execute Java IP Viewer Application, or Execute Windows IP Viewer Application. Whether you select the Windows or the Java viewer, you must ensure that the viewer application is installed and you must specify its absolute path.

When KCenter is running on Linux or Mac OS, only Execute Java IP Viewer Application is enabled. You must specify a valid path to the jar package containing the Java(TM) viewer.

Device Detection

By default the device detection is run manually by clicking on Detect into the Devices panel. By checking Detect Devices Periodically, KCenter runs the device detection periodically every specified amount of time.

Click Apply to validate your modifications.

Security Settings

This is the place where you MUST setup the credentials that KCenter will use to access the devices.

security settings

 

All devices that will be accessed by KCenter must have one super-administrator user corresponding to these credentials. For example add in all devices a super administrator user "kcenter" with password "kcenter_password". Then fill in Administrator Name with "kcenter" and Administrator Password with "kcenter_password". Confirm the password and click Apply to validate your modifications. Starting from now KCenter will use these credentials to get access to the devices.

Note: Preferably use a complex password with a mixture of uppercase letters, lowercase letters, and numbers. After everything have been configured you will not have to type it anymore.
