Overview

The KVM over IP Matrix System is a solution that combines KE Series KVM over IP Extenders (KE6900, KE6900A, KE6900AiT, KE6940, KE6940A, KE6940AiT, KE6900ST, KE6910, KE6912, KE6920, KE6922, KE8900S, KE8950, KE8952, KE9900ST, KE9950, KE9952), with the KVM over IP Matrix Manager (CCKM) to extend, control and monitor access to computers, across a network, in a multitude of ways. The system lets you setup a matrix of remote KVM consoles that access computers across a network, with the flexibility to control and configure each connection.

The high-performance IP-based KE Extenders are consisted of a transmitter and a receiver. The transmitter connects to a computer to deliver the computer's data to the receiver to collectively provide console access from a remote or separate location. The computer can be accessed from the remote console via a standard TCP/IP network or direct Ethernet cable connection. This is perfect for any installation where you need to place the console where it is convenient, but you want the computer to reside in a secure location — away from the keyboard, mouse and display.

The extenders support flawless and lossless video compression quality with ultra low latency, some extenders also support 2K x 2K video resolution (2048 x 2048 @ 60Hz), which is used widely in the Air Traffic Control (ATC) industry. For a list of video resolution support, refer to Supported Video Resolutions on page 7.

For power redundancy, some extenders have dual power supplies, some provide single power supply with a Power over Ethernet (PoE) LAN port, while some provide dual power supplies and a PoE LAN port.

Some extenders support Fiber Channel over Ethernet via SFP fiber modules* which connect to a network switch at speeds up to 1 Gbps. The extenders can connect unit-to-unit or over a TCP/IP network via Gigabit Ethernet or the SFP ports. Connecting both methods allows network failover.

The non-slim KE over IP Extenders have local On Screen Display (OSD) on the receiver end to configure both receiver and transmitter — for easy setup and operation. Both the transmitter and receiver have RS-232 ports to connect

to a serial terminal for configuration or serial devices such as touchscreens and barcode scanners.

The AiT models can connect to an Office LAN to support the Control Center Video Session Recorder (CCVSR) software and WinClient/JavaClient. The CCVSR records all operations made on servers accessed through KVM over IP switches. Every operation and change are recorded and saved to a secure video file for security reference and troubleshooting purposes, etc. By using WinClient/JavaClient, you are provided with console access from a separate location over intranet and/or Internet.

Slimmer versions of KE over IP Extenders are also available. These are KE6900ST, KE8900S or KE9900ST, and are cost and space saving alternatives for installations with extenders that don't need a local console or audio transmission, but want the connectivity features of advanced KE models. KE6900ST is a slim KVM over IP Transmitter that supports DVI input. KE8900S offers a slim KVM over IP Transmitter (KE8900ST) and a slim KVM over IP Receiver (KE8900SR) to respectively support HDMI video input from the computer and one HDMI monitor output. KE9900ST is a slim KVM over IP Transmitter that supports DisplayPort input. In addition to a DC power jack, both the KE8900ST and KE9900ST transmitters have an extra DC terminal block each for convenient installation.

Since different KE over IP Extenders support different types of video interfaces (DVI, HDMI, DisplayPort, etc.), video resolutions, power redundancy function and network failover feature, administrators/users may select and tailor what is currently best for your environment, and for expected or unexpected future expansions.

*Power redundancy via PoE requires power board version B01G or later (see PoE Power Redundancy on page 74 for more details).

KVM over IP Extenders allow flexible setup as they can make console-to-computer connections in several ways: one-to-one (Extender mode), one-to-many (Splitter mode), many-to-one (Switch mode), or many-to-many (Matrix mode).

The KVM over IP Matrix Manager (CCKM) allows you to define the aforementioned matrix connections and manage KE Extenders with features such as auto-detection of KE Extenders, username/password authentication, switching and sharing of connections, scheduling, permissions and more. Whether you're extending computer access for Monitoring, Broadcasting, Editing or Workstation setup, the KVM over IP Matrix System gives you the flexibility and control to manage one or hundreds of extended connections. For more detailed feature list, refer to Features on page 4.

Note: The SFP module is sold separately. You can choose the 2A-136G, a multi-mode SFP module that provides 1 GbE connectivity up to 550 meters; or the 2A-137G, a single-mode SFP module that provides 1 GbE connectivity up to 10 kilometers.

KE6900 / KE6940 LAN Installation

Setting up the units on a network allows point-to-point, point-to-multipoint, and multipoint-to-multipoint computer to console operation by connecting multiple KE6900 / KE6900ST / KE6940 devices on the same TCP/IP LAN. Prior to the setup, we recommend laying out the plans for your KE installation using our performance guide (see Keys to Network Performance, page 419).

A few points to note during your setup:

  • The units are preconfigured with factory-default network settings. If you install only one set of KE Series units, you do not need to change these default network settings. See Default IP Addresses, page 152, for further details.
  • In a network setup with multiple units, each Transmitter and Receiver must be configured with a unique IP address. See Network Configuration, page 151, for further details.
    We recommend using 1000-Mbps Gigabit Ethernet switches (wire speeds, non-blocking with 1 Gbps / 1.5 Mpps performance per port) between KE Series devices installed on different LAN segments. 10/100 Mbps switches might cause poor performance.
  • In multipoint configurations, the IGMP and flow control function of your network switches/hubs must be enabled to avoid the deterioration of data throughput. To ensure functionality use a layer 3 switch that supports IGMP queries.
  • If your network uses cascaded switches, please check to ensure the data throughput is sufficient.
  • To get the best performance, we suggest creating a private network for KE devices, as they are bandwidth-intensive devices.

Make sure that all equipment is powered off. Refer to the installation diagram on the following page, and do the following:

  1. On the Transmitter side, plug the mouse, keyboard, DVI monitor, microphone, and speakers into the ports on the console section of the KE6900T / KE6940T.* Each port is marked with an appropriate icon to indicate itself.

  2. Connect the USB KVM cable provided to the KVM ports on the front of the KE6900T / KE6940T.

  3. Connect the other end of the USB KVM cable to the keyboard, video, mouse, speaker, and microphone ports on the computer.

  4. For control of serial devices, connect the RS-232 serial port on the transmitter to a serial port on the computer.
  5. Use a Cat 5e/6 cable to connect the KE6900T / KE6940T's LAN port to the local area TCP/IP network.
  6. Plug the power adapter into an AC source, and plug the other end into the KE6900T / KE6940T's power jack.
  7. On the receiver side, plug the mouse, keyboard, DVI monitor, microphone, and speakers into the ports on the console section of the KE6900R / KE6940R.**
  8. Use a Cat 5e/6 cable to connect the KE6900R / KE6940R's LAN port to the local area TCP/IP network.
  9. Plug the second power adapter into an AC source, and plug the other end into the KE6900R / KE6940R's power jack.
  10. Use the OSD on the receiver to configure the network settings for both devices (See Network Configuration, page 151).
  11. Repeat these steps for each Transmitter and Receiver you wish to install on the network.
  12. Power on the computer(s).

Note: 1. If installing the KE6940 with two DVI monitors, connect the second DVI monitor via a DVI cable into the additional ports on the KE6940 and computer. 2. For USB keyboards / mice with advanced function designs, see USB Mode, page 244.

    We recommend using 1000-Mbps Gigabit Ethernet switches (wire speeds, non-blocking with 1 Gbps / 1.5 Mpps performance per port) between KE Series devices installed on different LAN segments. 10/100 Mbps switches might cause poor performance.
  • In multipoint configurations, the IGMP and flow control function of your network switches/hubs must be enabled to avoid the deterioration of data throughput. To ensure functionality use a layer 3 switch that supports IGMP queries.
  • If your network uses cascaded switches, please check to ensure the data throughput is sufficient.
  • To get the best performance, we suggest creating a private network for KE devices, as they are bandwidth-intensive devices.
    ◆ Make sure that all equipment is powered off before the installation.

The installation is similar to that of KE6910 / KE6912 Point-to-Point Installation on page 92, with the difference in connecting the transmitter and the receiver to a local area TCP/IP network. Refer to the diagrams on the following page and connect accordingly.

Repeat these steps for each Transmitter and Receiver you wish to install on the network then power on the computer(s).

Network Configuration

This section provides instructions to configure the network settings with a fixed IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway. To use the IP Installer to configure the IP address, see IP Installer, page 406.

Note: 1. Both devices are preconfigured with factory-default network settings. If you install only one set of KE Series units, you do not need to change these default network settings. See Default IP Addresses, page 152, for further details.
2. In a network setup with multiple units, each transmitter and receiver must be configured with a unique IP address. See Network Configuration, page 151, for further details.
3. We recommend using 1000-Mbps Gigabit Ethernet switches (wire speeds, non-blocking with 1 Gbps / 1.5 Mpps performance per port) between devices installed on different LAN segments. 10/100 Mbps switches might cause poor performance.
4. In multipoint configurations, the IGMP and flow control function of your network switches/hubs must be enabled to avoid the deterioration of data throughput. To ensure functionality use a layer 3 switch that supports IGMP queries.
5. If your network uses cascaded switches, please check to ensure the data throughput is sufficient.
6. To get the best performance, we suggest creating a private network for KE device, as they are bandwidth-intensive devices.

To configure the network settings, do the following:

  1. Set up the hardware and connect the transmitter and receiver to the local area network (see KE6900 / KE6940 LAN Installation, page 119, or KE8950 / KE8952 LAN Installation, page 141).
  2. From the receiver, tap [Scroll Lock] twice to invoke the OSD.
  3. Select the Receiver or Transmitter from the sidebar menu.
  4. Enter the password and click Configure.

The default password is: password.

  1. From the Network tab, select Set IP address manually and enter the following:

- IP Address — sets the IP address for the KE device. Key in a valid unique IP address.

Note: See Default IP Addresses, page 152, for the preconfigured factory-default settings.

- Subnet Mask — sets the subnet mask for the KE device. Key in a valid subnet mask value.

Note: The default setting is 255.255.255.0

- Default Gateway — sets the default gateway for the KE device. Key in a valid default gateway.

6. Click Save.

Exit OSD

To exit the OSD, press [Esc] on the keyboard, click Logout; tap [Scroll Lock] twice, or return to the OSD main page and press the front panel OSD pushbutton (receiver only).

At this point, the receiver can connect to the transmitter to access the remote computer (see OSD Matrix Mode, page 178 for instructions).

Default IP Addresses

The preconfigured factory-default IP addresses for the KE Series devices are as follows:

Transmitters - 192.168.0.61

Receivers-192.168.0.60

Note: For KE89 and KE99 Series devices, only use factory-default IP address if the DHCP is not present or if the initial configuration is done in PTP mode because DHCP is supported.

KE ATC Series Bundle Hotkey

This bundle hotkey allows you to fast switch to any KE ATC Series transmitter units in your network environment using the keyboard connected to the receiver unit. These hotkeys are pre-configured to correspond to the IP address you have configured in the KE OSD Receiver Properties page, see Properties, page 162. To fast switch to a transmitter unit, simply press the hotkey listed below.

Hotkey Rule Example (Tx IP)

Overview

This chapter provides instructions to configure and operate KE Series devices using the local On Screen Display (OSD). To configure the network settings with the OSD, see Network Configuration, page 151.

Invoking the OSD

The On Screen Display (OSD) is a keyboard/mouse-driven application on the receiver used to configure the transmitter and receiver settings. Once the receiver has discovered the transmitter over a network* or Ethernet cable connection, you can use the OSD on the receiver to configure the transmitter.

To invoke the OSD, press the OSD pushbutton on the front of the receiver, or from the keyboard tap the Scroll Lock key twice. The OSD main page will appear (see Press the Esc key to cancel., page 159).

To exit the OSD, press [Esc] on the keyboard; click Logout; tap the Scroll Lock key twice; or return to the OSD main page and press the OSD pushbutton on the front of the receiver. The OSD disappears and the computer desktop screen or the System Login prompt is displayed.

Note: 1. For the Receiver to discover the Transmitter over a network, both must be on the same subnet of the LAN.
2. To change the OSD hotkeys, see page 177.
3. If the keyboard/mouse won't work when the OSD is invoked, see USB Mode, page 244.

Touch Screen Calibration

If you're using a touch screen monitor and the OSD appears off center, you can use the blinking + at each corner to adjust the position of the OSD.

OSD Hotkeys

The OSD hotkeys navigate the Receiver's OSD screens. The hotkeys work after logging in from the System Login screen (see page 178) but not the OSD Configuration screen. Pressing a hotkey will immediately take you to the corresponding OSD screen.

IP Installer

The IP Installer is an external Windows-based utility for assigning IP addresses to the transmitter. Click one of the radio buttons to select Enabled, Disabled, or View Only for the IP Installer utility. See p. 406 for IP Installer details.

Note: 1. If you select View Only, you will be able to see the transmitter in the IP Installer's Device List, but you will not be able to change the IP address.
2. For security, we strongly recommend that you set this to View Only or Disabled after using it.

Service Ports

Specify the ports that the transmitter uses for various network services.

  • Program: This is the port number for connecting to the transmitter from the Windows Client and Java Viewers, and from the Windows and Java Client AP programs. The default is 9000.
  • HTTP: The port number for a browser login. The default is 80.
  • HTTPS: The port number for a secure browser login. The default is 443.

Note: 1. Valid entries for all of the Service Ports are from 1–65535.

  1. The service ports cannot have the same value. You must set a different value for each one.
  2. If there is no firewall (on an intranet, for example), it does not matter what these numbers are set to, since they have no effect.

If a firewall is being used, the Administrator can specify the port numbers that the firewall will allow (and set the firewall accordingly). If a port other than the default is set, users must specify the port number as part of the IP address when they log in. If not, an invalid port number (or no port number) is specified, the transmitter will not be found.

IPv4 Settings

The transmitter can either have its IP address assigned dynamically at boot-up (DHCP), or it can be given a fixed IP address.

- For dynamic IP address assignment, select the DHCP radio button. (This is the default setting.)

- To specify a fixed IP address, select the Manual radio button and fill in the IP address.

Note: 1. If you choose DHCP, when the transmitter starts up it waits to get its IP address from the DHCP server. If it has not obtained the address after one minute, it automatically reverts to its factory default IP address, 192.168.0.61.
2. If the transmitter is on a network that uses DHCP to assign network addresses, and you need to ascertain its IP address, you can use the IP installer. See IP Installer, page 406 for information.

The transmitter can either have its DNS server address assigned automatically, or a fixed address can be specified.

  • For automatic DNS Server address assignment, select the Obtain DNS server address automatically radio button.
  • To specify a fixed address, select the Set DNS server address manually radio button and fill in the required information.

Note: Specifying at the alternate DNS Server address is optional.

IPv6 Settings

The transmitter can either have its IPv6 address assigned dynamically at boot-up (DHCP), or it can be given a fixed IPv6 address.

  • For dynamic IP address assignment, select the DHCP radio button. (This is the default setting.)
  • To specify a fixed IP address, select the Manual radio button and fill in the IP address.

The transmitter can either have its DNS server address assigned automatically, or a fixed address can be specified.

  • For automatic DNS Server address assignment, select the Obtain DNS server address automatically radio button.
  • To specify a fixed address, select the Set DNS server address manually radio button and fill in the required information.

Note: Specifying at the alternate DNS Server address is optional.

CCVSR

Important operations occur on the transmitter can be recorded using the CCVSR program.

Check Enable to enable the CCVSR function and specify the MAC address and the Service Port of the computer the CCVSR runs on.

Note: The valid port range is 1–65535. The port number must differ than the one used for the Program port (see Service Ports, page 174).

Working Mode

Use this section to set the working mode parameters.

  • Enable ICMP: Check to enable ICMP service.
  • Disable Browser Service: Check to disable a particular access. Available options are: browser, http or https.
  • Enable Client AP Device List: Check to enable this function. When enabled, the unit will be discoverable in the Server List when using the WinClient or Java Client AP (see Starting Up on page 311). Disabling this function will render the unit undiscoverable in the Server List but can still be connected to.

  • Program: This is the port number for connecting to the transmitter from the Windows Client and Java Viewers, and from the Windows and Java Client AP programs. The default is 9000.
  • HTTP: The port number for a browser login. The default is 80.
  • HTTPS: The port number for a secure browser login. The default is 443.

Note: 1. Valid entries for all of the Service Ports are from 1–65535.

  1. The service ports cannot have the same value. You must set a different value for each one.
  2. If there is no firewall (on an intranet, for example), it does not matter what these numbers are set to, since they have no effect.

If a firewall is being used, the Administrator can specify the port numbers that the firewall will allow (and set the firewall accordingly). If a port other than the default is set, users must specify the port number as part of the IP address when they log in. If not, an invalid port number (or no port number) is specified, the transmitter will not be found.

CCVSR

Important operations occur on the transmitter can be recorded using the CCVSR program.

Check Enable to enable the CCVSR function and specify the MAC address and the Service Port of the computer the CCVSR runs on.

Note: The valid port range is 1–65535. The port number must differ than the one used for the Program port (see Ports, page 228).

Mode

Use this section to set the working mode parameters.

  • Enable ICMP: Check to enable ICMP service.
  • Disable Browser Service: Check to disable a particular access. Available options are: browser, http or https.
  • Enable Client AP Device List: Check to enable this function. When enabled, the unit will be discoverable in the Server List when using the WinClient or Java Client AP (see Starting Up on page 311). Disabling this function will render the unit undiscoverable in the Server List but can still be connected to.

IPv4 Settings

The transmitter can either have its IP address assigned dynamically at boot-up (DHCP), or it can be given a fixed IP address.

  • For dynamic IP address assignment, select the DHCP radio button. (This is the default setting.)
  • To specify a fixed IP address, select the Manual radio button and fill in the IP address.

Note: 1. If you choose DHCP, when the transmitter starts up it waits to get its IP address from the DHCP server. If it has not obtained the address after one minute, it automatically reverts to its factory default IP address, 192.168.0.61.
2. If the transmitter is on a network that uses DHCP to assign network addresses, and you need to ascertain its IP address, you can use the IP installer. See IP Installer, page 406 for information.

The transmitter can either have its DNS server address assigned automatically, or a fixed address can be specified.

  • For automatic DNS Server address assignment, select the Obtain DNS server address automatically radio button.
  • To specify a fixed address, select the Set DNS server address manually radio button and fill in the required information.

Note: Specifying at the alternate DNS Server address is optional.

IPv6 Settings

The transmitter can either have its IPv6 address assigned dynamically at boot-up (DHCP), or it can be given a fixed IPv6 address.

  • For dynamic IP address assignment, select the DHCP radio button. (This is the default setting.)
  • To specify a fixed IP address, select the Manual radio button and fill in the IP address.

The transmitter can either have its DNS server address assigned automatically, or a fixed address can be specified.

  • For automatic DNS Server address assignment, select the Obtain DNS server address automatically radio button.
  • To specify a fixed address, select the Set DNS server address manually radio button and fill in the required information.

Note: Specifying at the alternate DNS Server address is optional.

Private Certificate

When logging in over a secure (SSL) connection, a signed certificate is used to verify that the user is logging in to the intended site. For enhanced security, the Private Certificate section allows you to use your own private encryption key and signed certificate, rather than the default ATEN certificate.

There are two methods for establishing your private certificate: generating a self-signed certificate and importing a third-party certificate authority (CA) signed certificate.

Generating a Self-Signed Certificate

If you wish to create your own self-signed certificate, a free utility – openssl.exe – is available for download over the web. See Self-Signed Private Certificates, page 408 for details about using OpenSSL to generate your own private key and SSL certificate.

Obtaining a CA Signed SSL Server Certificate

For the greatest security, we recommend using a third party certificate authority (CA) signed certificate. To obtain a third party signed certificate, go to a CA (Certificate Authority) website to apply for an SSL certificate. After the CA sends you the certificate, save it to a convenient location on your computer.

Importing the Private Certificate

To import the private certificate, do the following:

  1. Click Browse to the right of Private Key, navigate to where your private encryption key file is located and select it.
  2. Click Browse to the right of Certificate, navigate to where your certificate file is located and select it.
  3. Click Upload to complete the procedure.

Note: Both the private encryption key and the signed certificate must be imported at the same time.

You can click Restore Default to restore any changes made previously.

Certificate Signing Request

The Certificate Signing Request (CSR) section provides an automated way of obtaining and installing a CA signed SSL server certificate.

To perform this operation, do the following:

  1. Click Create CSR. The following dialog box appears:

ATEN KE6910 - Certificate Signing Request - 1

text_image Certificate Signing Request Country (2 letter code) State or Province Locality Organization Unit Common Name Email Address CANCEL CREATE
  1. Fill in the form – with entries that are valid for your site – according to the example information in the following table:
Information Example
Country (2 letter code) TW
State or Province Taiwan
Locality Taipei
Organization Your Company, Ltd.
Unit Techdoc Department
Common Name mycompany.comThis must be the exact domain name of the site that you want the certificate to be valid for. If the site's domain name is www.mycompany.com, and you only specify mycompany.com, the certificate will not be valid.
Email Address administrator@yourcompany.com
  1. After filling in the form (all fields are required), click Create.

A self-signed certificate based on the information you just provided is now stored on the transmitter.

  1. Click Get CSR, and save the certificate file (csr.cer) to a convenient location on your computer

This is the file that you give to the third party CA to apply for their signed SSL certificate.

  1. After the CA sends you the certificate, save it to a convenient location on your computer. Click Browse to locate the file; then click Upload to store it on the transmitter.

Note: When you upload the file, the transmitter checks the file to make sure the specified information still matches. If it does, the file is accepted; if not, it is rejected.

If you want to remove the certificate (to replace it with a new one because of a domain name change, for example), simply click Remove CSR.

Intelligent Dual Video Output Management

For the A models (KE6900A, KE6940A), the Intelligent Dual Video Output Management feature allows the separation of a Dual Display Transmitter's (KE6940AT) video outputs (DVI:1 and DVI:2) as two separate Virtual Transmitters. These separated outputs can be accessed from different Receivers (KE6900AR or KE6940AR). Receivers can switch between and connect to both Virtual Transmitters independently with the Access Type determining which Receiver has control (see page 238).

To use this setup, install the KE devices as shown below and create two Virtual Transmitters, selecting DVI:1 and DVI:2 as the KVM source for each Virtual Transmitter.

For non-A model receivers (e.g. KE6910R, KE6912R), you can select between DVI:1 or DVI:2, but you will always be getting video output from DVI:1.

Private Certificate

When logging in over a secure (SSL) connection, a signed certificate is used to verify that the user is logging in to the intended site. For enhanced security, the Private Certificate section allows you to use your own private encryption key and signed certificate, rather than the default ATEN certificate.

There are two methods for establishing your private certificate: generating a self-signed certificate; and importing a third-party certificate authority (CA) signed certificate.

- Generating a Self-Signed Certificate

If you wish to create your own self-signed certificate, a free utility – openssl.exe – is available for download over the web. See Self-Signed Private Certificates, page 408 for details about using OpenSSL to generate your own private key and SSL certificate.

- Obtaining a CA Signed SSL Server Certificate

For the greatest security, we recommend using a third party certificate authority (CA) signed certificate. To obtain a third party signed certificate,

go to a CA (Certificate Authority) website to apply for an SSL certificate. After the CA sends you the certificate and private encryption key, save them to a convenient location on your computer.

- Importing the Private Certificate

To import the private certificate, do the following:

  1. Click Import from the bottom of the Private Certificate page, shown here:

ATEN KE6910 - Private Certificate - 1

text_image NEW GET CSR IMPORT RESTORE DEFAULT
  1. Click Browse to the right of Certificate Filename; and browse to where your certificate file is located; and select it.
  2. Click Import to complete the procedure.

Note: Clicking Restore Defaults returns the device to using the default ATEN certificate.

Certificate Signing Request

The Certificate Signing Request (CSR) section provides an automated way of obtaining and installing a CA signed SSL server certificate.

To perform this operation do the following:

  1. Click New. The following dialog box appears:

ATEN KE6910 - Certificate Signing Request - 1

text_image New Certificate Country (2 letter code) State or Province (ST) Locality (L) Organization (O) Organization Unit (OU) Common Name (CN) Email Address (E) CANCEL CREATE
  1. Fill in the form – with entries that are valid for your site – according to the example information in the following table:
Information Example
Country (2 letter code) TW
State or Province Taiwan
Information Example
Locality Taipei
Organization Your Company.Ltd.
Organization Unit Tech Department
Common Name mycompany.comNote: This must be the exact domain name of the site that you want the certificate to be valid for. If the site's domain name is www.mycompany.com, and you only specify mycompany.com, the certificate will not be valid.
Email Address administrator@yourcompany.com
  1. After filling in the form (all fields are required), click Create.

A self-signed certificate based on the information you just provided is now stored on the KE Manager software.

  1. Click Get CSR, and save the certificate file (csr.cer) to a convenient location on your computer.

This is the file that you give to the third party CA to apply for their signed SSL certificate.

  1. After the CA sends you the certificate, save it to a convenient location on your computer. Click Import to locate the file; then click Import to store it on the KE Manager.

Note: When you upload the file, the KE Manager checks the file to make sure the specified information still matches. If it does, the file is accepted; if not, it is rejected.

If you want to remove the certificate (to replace it with a new one because of a domain name change, for example), simply click Restore Defaults.

Sessions

The Sessions tab shows all of the users that are logged into KE Manager and OSD sessions and provides information concerning the “who, where and when” of each session. This page also gives the administrator the option of forcing a user logout by selecting the user and clicking Kill Session next to each user.

Remote Viewer (AiT Models only)

Introduction

If the video source(s) of your AiT model is connected, the remote viewer can be used to access these video source(s) as if it were your local system.

A window will be presented and the remote server is displayed inside this window.

  • You can maximize the window, drag the borders to resize the window and use the scrollbars to move around the screen.
  • Due to net lag, there might be a slight delay before your keystrokes show up. You may also have to wait a bit for the remote mouse to catch up to your local mouse before you click.
  • Due to net lag, or insufficient computing power on the local machine, some images, especially motion images, may display poorly.

There are several ways you can access the remote servers and are listed below:

  1. Windows viewer accessed directly from the web browser GUI.
  2. Java viewer accessed directly from the web browser GUI.
  3. Windows Client Viewer AP (without browser). On the browser login page, a “Download Windows Client AP” is available. Refer to The Windows/Java Client AP on page 310 for more information.
  4. Java Client Viewer AP (without browser). Since the control is identical to the windows client viewer, refer to The Control Panel on page 313 on the control of the viewer interface.

Note: Audio is not supported when the AiT models are accessed via WinClient and JavaClient.

Windows and Java Client Viewer (web access)

The Windows and Java Client Viewer is accessible via a web browser.

An explanation of the Hotkey actions is given in the table below:

Action Explanation
Exit remote locationExits the remote view. This is equivalent to clicking the Exit icon on the Control Panel. The default keys are F2, F3, F4.
Adjust VideoBrings up the Video Settings dialog box. This is equivalent to clicking the Video Settings icon on the Control Panel. The default keys are F5, F6, F7.
Toggle Control PanelToggles the Control Panel Off and On. The default keys are F3, F4, F5.
Toggle Mouse DisplayIf you find the display of the two mouse pointers (local and remote) to be confusing or annoying, you can use this function to shrink the non-functioning pointer down to a barely noticeable tiny circle, which can be ignored. Since this function is a toggle, use the hotkeys again to bring the mouse display back to its original configuration. This is equivalent to selecting the Dot pointer type from the Mouse Pointer icon on the Control Panel. The default keys are F7, F8, F9.Note: The Java Control Panel does not have this feature.
Adjust mouse This synchronizes the local and remote mouse movements. The default keys are F8, F7, F6.
Video Auto-sync This combination performs an auto-sync operation. It is equivalent to clicking the Video Autosync icon on the Control Panel. The default keys are F6, F7, F8.
Show/Hide Local CursorToggles the display of your local mouse pointer off and on. This is equivalent to selecting the Null pointer type from the Mouse Pointer icon on the Control Panel. The default keys are F4,F5.
Substitute Ctrl key If your local computer captures Ctrl key combinations, preventing them from being sent to the remote system, you can implement their effects on the remote system by specifying a function key to substitute for the Ctrl key. If you substitute the F11 key, for example, pressing [F11 + 5] would appear to the remote system as [Ctrl + 5]. The default key is F11.
Substitute Alt key Although all other keyboard input is captured and sent to the remote system, [Alt + Tab] and [Ctrl + Alt + Del] work on your local computer. In order to implement their effects on the remote system, another key may be substituted for the Alt key. If you substitute the F12 key, for example, you would use [F12 + Tab] and [Ctrl + F12 + Del]. The default key is F12.

Serial Control Protocol Commands

The KE Series's built-in bi-directional RS-232 serial interface and LAN port connection allows system control via Receivers through a high-end controller or PC. This control feature can also be accessed via TCP/IP through a computer running Telnet. The port for Telnet commands should be set to 9130.

Configuring the Serial Port

The controller's serial port should be configured the same as the Receiver's default configuration, as shown below:
Baud Rate 9600
Data Bits 8
Parity None
Stop Bits 1
Flow Control None
The Receiver's Function Switch should be set to RS-232 Config (see page 12). Before executing RS-232 commands across a network you must install the KVM over IP Matrix Manager on a computer and ensure that it is online. For the Slim Version of KE Series (KE8900ST/8900SR/9900ST). Please make sure the RS-232 Serial Port is not connected before executing commands. On your computer, open a terminal (command line) session. Please press "Enter" or "T/t" to start "CLI Session" or "Text Menu". ![](images/08e425ea1b3722a8366913b8a303b582fd986294c9ffcae215fd163aa5e873fa.jpg)

Trusted Certificates

Overview

When you try to log in to the device from your browser, a Security Alert message appears to inform you that the device's certificate is not trusted, and asks if you want to proceed. ![](images/ac739b9d444860a2b6f32209ef5bfbd277619b00d8e7324a6d9778516ebae370.jpg)
text_image Security Alert Information you exchange with this site cannot be viewed or changed by others. However, there is a problem with the site's security certificate. The security certificate was issued by a company you have not chosen to trust. View the certificate to determine whether you want to trust the certifying authority. The security certificate date is valid. The name on the security certificate is invalid or does not match the name of the site Do you want to proceed? Yes No View Certificate
The certificate can be trusted, but the alert is triggered because the certificate's name is not found on the Microsoft list of Trusted Authorities. You can ignore the warning and click Yes to go on.

Self-Signed Private Certificates

If you wish to create your own self-signed encryption key and certificate, a free utility – openssl.exe – is available for download over the web at www.openssl.org. To create your private key and certificate do the following: 1. Go to the directory where you downloaded and extracted openssl.exe to. 2. Run openssl.exe with the following parameters: openssl req -new -newkey rsa:1024 -days 3653 -nodes -x509 -keyout CA.key -out CA.cer -config openssl.cnf Note: 1. The command should be entered all on one line (i.e., do not press [Enter] until all the parameters have been keyed in). 2. If there are spaces in the input, surround the entry in quotes (e.g., "ATEN International"). To avoid having to input information during key generation the following additional parameters can be used: /C /ST /L /O /OU /CN /emailAddress.

Examples

openssl req -new -newkey rsa:1024 -days 3653 -nodes -x509 -keyout CA.key -out CA.cer -config openssl.cnf -subj "/C=yourcountry/ST=yourstateorprovince/L=yourlocationor city/O=yourorganization/OU=yourorganizationalunit/ CN=yourcommonname/emailAddress=name@yourcompany.com
openssl req -new -newkey rsa:1024 -days 3653 -nodes -x509 -keyout CA.key -out CA.cer -config openssl.cnf -subj "/C=CA/ST=BC/L=Richmond/O=ATEN International/OU=ATEN /CN=ATEN/emailAddress=eservice@aten.com.tw 

Importing the Files

After the openssl.exe program completes, two files – CA.key (the private key) and CA.cer (the self-signed SSL certificate) – are created in the directory that you ran the program from.

Reset All Information

To reset all information (including passwords) to their default settings, follow the steps below: 1. Power off the unit and remove its housing. 2. Use a jumper cap to short the mainboard pins labeled DEFAULT PASSWORD. An example is shown: ![](images/80c499143684d70c8a2cce158dbeb6e5a116ded564c9e9de874bdfa2e1a6a890.jpg)

Multicast IP Address

Multicasting helps to broadcast audio and video data from a transmitter to multiple Receivers over a network. To setup up Multicasting on a network switch you must know the Audio and Video Multicast IP address which can be found on the KE Transmitter. To determine the default Multicast IP address set by the KE device use the instructions below. The Multicast IP addresses can be set manually using Telnet.

KE Multicast Rule

All Audio and Video Multicast IP addresses use the format: 230.X.Y.Z. X.Y.Z relates to the Transmitter's IP address and 230 is always the first octet of a Multicast IP address. You use the Transmitter's IP address to find X and then use it to calculate the Audio and Video Multicast IP address.

Multicast IP Formula

To calculate the Audio and Video Multicast IP address, use the Transmitter's IP address to determine X and then use the appropriate table below to calculate the Multicast IP address for each data stream (audio/video).

Example:

Transmitter IP Address: 172.16.27.146; (172.X.Y.Z) X = 16 If X is between 0 \~ 127
Transmitter IP XVideoX + 128AudioX + 192MulticastVideo IPAddressMulticastAudio IPAddress
172.16.27.146(example)16 6 ± 128 = 144 16 + 192 = 208 230.144.27.146230.208.27.146

Keys to Network Performance

For optimum performance, KE Series devices requires high amounts of data to be transferred across a network; therefore we recommend the following strategies to setup KE Series devices. Using our suggestions will provide better performance and the highest video resolutions possible. Use each of the keys to ensure the best transmission of data and the highest throughput possible.

Build a Network Diagram

To build an effective KE installation, start by mapping out the layout. Create a diagram with the KE devices, computers and routers along with how they will be connected across the network. It also helps to write out how the devices will interact. Use this diagram as the frame work as you decide what devices to purchase and how to build the network effectively for the best data throughput.

Considerations:

◆ If possible, create a private network for the KE devices ◆ Use the same switch model throughout ◆ Use a flat cascaded layout - Avoid a tree or pyramid structure ♦ Limit cascades to two levels ◆ Install network switches near each other ♦ Minimize the distance of connections - Install KVM over IP Matrix Manager (CCKM) computer and KE devices on the same subnet ◆ Check the 3 Other Factors before installation

Other Factors

■ Choose the Right Cable

Always use Cat 5/6e Ethernet cable or higher installed by a professional between any two devices you are installing. We recommend using ATEN Brand Ethernet cable to ensure the quality. It's best when installing KE devices to use brand new Ethernet cabling for each part of the installation to ensure the reliability of the data being transmitted. This is a key to getting the best uninterrupted video resolution across the network.

■ Determine the Distance

Distance is an important factor when setting up networks, with a shorter distance and fewer hops through routers, data can be transmitted more efficiently. So whenever possible decrease the distance and direct network traffic effectively between subnets that communicate with each other to increase the data throughput.

■ Ensure the Bandwidth

Ensuring the bandwidth ahead of time will guarantee performance before installing KE devices on a network. This will eliminate the primary cause of problems related to video quality and transmission of data. If the speed is right at all ends of your network, then the only other causes are derived from device failure or limits caused by a router, switch or device setting.

Choose a High Performance Switch

A high performance network switch is the means of a successful KE setup. When choosing a network switch, first select the type:

Layer 2 or Layer 3 Switches

You'll need to determine whether you need a layer 2 or a layer 3 switch for your KE network. Layer 3 switches cost more than layer 2 switches because they are more complex and handle more network traffic. The best way to calculate which type of switch you need is to first determine if you will have a dedicated network for the KE devices or if the KE devices will be on a network that shares throughput with other network equipment such as computers, servers and printers. If they share the network with other devices its best to consider a layer 3 switch and use layer 2 switches exclusively for the KE device connections. For larger installations we recommend using Layer 3 switches. The major differences are: Layer 3 Switch: IP addresses in packets are examined and intelligent forwarding decisions are made. On a larger network broken into subnets across long distances, a layer 3 switch becomes the best choice as they can improve network efficiency and provide better traffic flow. They are better at directing more traffic to different locations on a larger more complex network, and with layer two switches working below them. Layer 2 Switch: Packets are examined and forwarded using only the MAC address. If you have a small central network, a layer 2 switch should do the job. If the network is exclusive and will only transmit the bandwidth of KE devices, layer 2 switches with the correct settings can get the job done effectively.

Considerations

Number of ports

Choose a switch that has enough ports to match the number of KE devices you will be installing. Switches typically come in 5, 8, 10, 16, 24, 28, 48, and 52-port configurations. If you are installing 13 KE transmitters and 13 KE receivers, you will need to purchase a switch with at least 28 ports.

Stackable verse Standalone

Stackable switches allow you to easily manage and configure ports spanning across multiple switches that the KE devices are connected through. This provides a centralized method to configure and troubleshoot the initial setup of KE devices on a network which makes fine tuning the bandwidth, data throughput and video quality easier. Stackable switches can be configured to direct the KE transmissions between many units more specifically and effectively. Standalone switches provide the same configuration features as Stackable switches but they must be set individually. Stackable switches provide an easy way to manage multiple switches, as one unit. For example, instead of configuring, managing, and troubleshooting 6 28-port switches individually, you can manage the six as if they are a single unit using Stackable Switches. The six switches (168 ports) function as a single switch and are managed from one web or GUI interface.

What Stackable Switches Can do:

1. Create a link aggregation group with one port in one unit of the stack and another port of that group in another switch in the stack. 2. Select a port on one switch in the stack and mirror the traffic to a switch port on another unit of the stack; thus copy the configuration to direct traffic more effectively between KE devices. 3. Apply custom ACL security settings to any port on any switch in the stack. 4. Stackable switches can be setup in a ring configuration, so that if a port or cable fails, the stack automatically routes around the failure, at microsecond speeds. Stackable Switches also allow you to add and remove stack “members” which are automatically updated and recognized as such.

Switch Specifications

The following specifications are recommended when choosing a layer 2 or layer 3 switch: ◆ 1000Mbps Gigabit Ethernet switches (1000Mbps or faster Ethernet ports) ◆ High bandwidth between switches, if possible using Fibre Channel - Layer 3 switches that efficiently processes IGMP queries ♦ IGMP Snooping v2 or v3 ◆ Flow Control Functions ◆ Throughput of: Full Duplex, 1Gbps up- and down- stream speeds per port ◆ Performance of their most onerous tasks (e.g. IGMP snooping) with multiple dedicated processors (ASICS) ◆ Use the same switch make and model throughout each subnet \- The maximum number of simultaneous ‘snoopable groups’ the switch can handle meets or exceeds the number of KE transmitters that will be used to create Channel groups

Configuring Switches and KE Devices

Configuring the switch correctly will pass data more efficiently, allowing a better stream across the network to each KE device. The following settings will help optimize your network traffic through a switch: ◆ Enable IGMP Snooping on L2 switches ◆ Enable IGMP Querier on the L3 switch - Enable IGMP Fast-Leave on all switches where KE units are directly connected - Enable Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) on all switches and enable Portfast exclusively on switch ports that have KE units connected - Pick an appropriate forwarding mode on all switches. Use Cut-through if available, or Store and Forward (see Recommended Network Switches below)

KE transmitter Settings:

- Adjust the KE transmitter settings one at a time, in small intervals, and view the images as you do, so that you can adjust to the positive or negative results and achieve the best quality and bandwidth possible - If the quality of color is important, set the Color Depth to 24 bits (KE69, KE89, KE99 Series) and manually adjust other settings until you are satisfied with the visual appearance - If moving video images are shown frequently, increase the Video Quality setting to the highest level and reduce the Bandwidth Limit and Color Depth setting. - When images on the screen are more often static, increase the Background Refresh and/or the Video Quality settings - Check that all KE units have been updated with the latest firmware version Below are the network switches that have passed ATEN's stress tests using the KE Series extenders.

Additional Mouse Synchronization Procedures

If the mouse synchronization procedures mentioned in the manual fail to resolve mouse pointer problems for particular computers, try the following:

Windows:

Note: In order for the local and remote mouses 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. 1. Windows 2000: a) Open the Mouse Properties dialog box (Control Panel Mouse Mouse Properties) b) Click the Motion tab c) Bring the mouse speed to the middle position (6 units in from the left) d) Set the mouse acceleration to None ![](images/21805139f154bcb53d097547b8e09765ddf2efa3c8ff5caf18d4ed9a66765bb9.jpg)
