Chapter 1 Introduction

Overview

The KE6900 / KE6940 DVI KVM Over IP Extender is an IP based matrix extender that allows access to a computer system from a remote USB KVM console anywhere over a LAN. The KE6900 series is a single view extender that supports one DVI display at each end. The KE6940 series is a dual view extender that supports two DVI displays at each end, allowing the video output to display across two monitors.

The KE6900 / KE6940 consists of a transmitter that connects to the computer and a receiver that provides console access from a separate location. The computer is 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.

As a matrix extender it can connect one or more: computers-to-consoles in several ways: one-to-one (Extender mode), one-to-many (Splitter mode), many-to-onc (Switch mode), or many-to-many (Matrix mode).

The KE6900 / KE6940 has a local On Screen Display (OSD) on the receiver to configure both units - for easy setup and operation. Using the transmitter and receiver over a standard TCP/IP network (optional) via Cat 5e cable allows point-to-point, point-to-multipoint, and multipoint-to-multipoint administration without needing a KVM switch. 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 Matrix Manager® software provides advanced features for username and password authentication, auto-detection of devices on the same LAN segment, management of devices, and setup of Splitter, Switch, and Matrix modes. New security features also provide extra protection with remote login security, a username and password can be required when the receiver connects to the transmitter.

Features

  • Remote KVM console access of computers over LAN or Ethernet cable connection
  • Dual console operation – control your system from both the Transmitter and Receiver by USB keyboard, monitor, and mouse
    RS-232 serial ports ^1 – allows you to connect to a serial terminal for configuration, and serial devices such as touchscreens and barcode scanners
  • Superior video quality – up to 1920 x 1200 @ 60 Hz; 24-bit color depth
    • Supports standard VGA resolutions from 640 x 480 to 1920 x 1200 at 60Hz
  • OSD (On Screen Display) on the Receiver configures both units
    • Supports AP GUI operation
    • Supports Web GUF administration
  • Remote login security
    • DVI digital and analog monitor support
    Built-in ESD protection and surge protection

Setting Up a 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 / KE6940 devices on the same TCP/IP LAN.

Note: 1. The units are preconfigured with factory-default network settings. If you install only one set of KE6900 / KE6940 units, you do not need to change these default network settings. See Default IP Addresses, page 24, 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 23, for further details.
3. We recommended using 1000Mbps Gigabit Ethernet switches between KE69xx devices installed on different LAN segments. 10/100Mbps 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 KE69xx devices, as they are bandwidth-intensive devices.

Make sure that all the 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.

KE6900 / KE6940 User Manual

  1. Use a Cat 5c cable to connect the KE6900T / KE6940T's LAN port to the local area TCP/IP network.

  3. On the Receiver side, plug the mouse, keyboard, DVI monitor, microphone, and speakers into the ports on the Console section of the KE6900R / KE6940R*.
  4. Use a Cat 5c cable to connect the KE6900R / KE6940R's LAN port to the local area TCP/IP network.
  5. Plug the second power adapter into an AC source; and plug the other end into the KE6900R / KE6940R's Power Jack.
  6. Use the OSD on the Receiver to configure the network settings for both devices (See Network Configuration, page 23).
  7. Repeat these steps for each Transmitter and Receiver you wish to install on the network.
  8. Power on the computer(s).

Note: 1. If installing the KE6940 with two DVI monitors, connect the second DVI monitor and KVM DVI cable into the additional ports on the KE6940 and computer.

Groups

Groups allow administrators to easily and efficiently manage users and devices. Since device access rights apply to anyone who is a member of the group, administrators need only set them once for the group, instead of having to set them for each user individually. Multiple groups can be defined to allow some users access to specific devices, while restricting other users from accessing them.

Creating Groups

To create a group, do the following:

  1. Select Groups on the menu bar.
  2. Click Add at the bottom of the main panel. The Group notebook opens, with the Group tab selected:

Redundancy

The Redundancy page sets up a second computer as backup in case the computer hosting the Matrix Manager goes off-line. If the Matrix Manager is off-line, the secondary computer will automatically take over operations, allowing all connections to continue without disruption – with only a brief period (30 seconds) when new connections can't be started. When the primary computer comes back online it retrieves the database with any changes from the secondary computer and re-takes all Matrix Manager operations.

To setup Redundancy, do the following:

  1. Install the Matrix Manager on a second computer with the USB License key (see page 43).
  2. Open the Matrix Manager and go to the System → Redundancy page.

Certificates

This page provides information about the Private Certificates:

Private Certificate Name Registration Issued To: Common Name(0) ATEN INTERNATIONAL CO., LTD. Organization(0) ATEN INTERNATIONAL CO., LTD. Organization Unit (0) R&D Client(s) TW Status or Preview (0) Taiwan Locality (L) High/Target Real Address (R) servicing@state.com.tw Serial Number 69:00:50:F4:00:04:17:C0:00 Issued By: Common Name(0) ATEN INTERNATIONAL CO., LTD. Organization(0) ATEN INTERNATIONAL CO., LTD. Organization Unit (0) R&D Note Edit Item Import Refresh/Refresh

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 139 for details about using OpenSSL to generate your own private key and 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:
NewGet CSRImportRestore Defaults
  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.

NewGet CSRImportRestore Defaults

To perform this operation do the following:

  1. Click New. The following dialog box appears:

Private Certificate Country (1 letter code) State or Province (ST) Locality (L) Organization(0) Organization Unit (04) Common Name(26) Local Address (5) Create Cancel

  1. Fill in the form – with entries that are valid for your site – according to the example information in the following table:

KE6900 / KE6940 User Manual

Information Example
State or Province Taiwan
Locality Taipei
Organization Your Company, Ltd.
Organization Unit Tech Department
Common Name mycompany.com
Note: 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 Matrix Manager.

  2. Click Get CSR, and save the certificate file (csccer) 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.

  3. 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 Matrix Manager.

Note: When you upload the file, the Matrix 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.

IP Installer

From a client computer running Windows, an IP address for a transmitter or receiver can be assigned with the IP Installer utility. The utility can be obtained from the Download area of our website. Look under Driver/SW. After downloading the utility to your client computer, do the following:

  1. Unzip the contents of IPInstaller.zip to a directory on your hard drive.
  2. Go to the directory that you unzipped the IPInstaller program to and run IPInstaller.exe. A dialog box similar to the one below appears:

Network Device 20 Installer Address: M41/20 IP Address IP Address IP Address IP Address IP Address IP Address IP Address IP Address IP Address IP Address IP Address IP Address IP Address IP Address IP Address IP Address IP Address IP Address IP Address IP Address IP Address IP Address IP Address IP Address IP Address IP Address IP Address IP Address IP Address IP Address IP Address IP Address IP Address IP Address

  1. Select the Transmitter or Receiver in the Device List.

Note: 1. If the list is empty, or your device doesn't appear, click Enumerate to refresh the Device List.

  1. If there is more than one device in the list, use the MAC address to pick the one you want. The MAC address is located on the devices bottom panel.

  2. Select either Obtain an IP address automatically (DHCP), or Specify an IP address. If you chose the latter, fill the IP Address, Subnet Mask, and Gateway fields with the information appropriate to your network.

  3. Click Set IP.

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.

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.

Appendix

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 -now -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).

  1. 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 -now -nowkey rsa:1024 -days 3653 -nodes -x509 keyout CA.key out CA.per config openssl.cnf subj /C-yourcountry/ST-yourstateorprovince/I-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
