2.5 Configuring Your Switch
Once all physical connections have been made, need to configure the switch for use in the overall switch
system. This can be accomplished using the serial interface, OBWI, OSCAR or the DSView management
software. When configuring the switch using OSCAR, see Network Settings on page 32. When using
DSView management software on the 2108/2216 switch models, the RAK-key is required. See the
applicable Installer/User Guide for detailed instructions.
2.6 Setting Up the Built-in Web Server
Before using the OBWI to access the switch, the IP address must be specified using the setup port on the
back panel of the switch or through the local user interface (OSCAR). To use the switch UI, see Local
OSCAR™ User Interface on page 15.
2.7 Connecting to the OBWI Through a Firewall
For switch installations that use the OBWI for access, the following ports must be opened in a firewall if
outside access is desired.
PORT
NUMBER
FUNCTION
TCP 80 Used for the initial downloading of the Video Viewer. The appliance administrator can change this value.
TCP 443
Used by the web browser interface for managing the switch and launching KVM sessions. The appliance Admin can change this
value.
TCP 2068
Transmission of KVM session data (mouse and keyboard) or transmission of video on switches (requires the RAK-key for the
2108/2216 switch models).
TCP/UDP 3211 Discovery (requires the RAK-key for the 2108/2216 switch models).
Table 2.5 OBWI Ports With a Firewall
The following figure and table provide a typical configuration where the computer is located outside of
the firewall and the switch resides inside the firewall.
