Certificate Information dialog box appears.
Note: You may need to run Internet Explorer as an Administrator in
order to view and install the certificate.
b) Click Install Certificate.
c) Follow the Installation Wizard to complete the installation.
Unless you have a specific reason to choose otherwise,
accept the default options.
d) When the Wizard presents a caution screen, click Yes.
e) Click Finish to complete the installation and click OK to
close the dialog box. The certificate is now trusted.
3.3 AP Windows Client Login
In some cases, the Administrator may not want the B064-Series
KVM Switches to be available via browser. The Windows AP Client
allows Windows systems users access to the KVM switch without
having to go through a browser.
The AP Windows Client can be found in the Download Section of the
OSD or on the CD that came with your B064-Series KVM Switch.
If you do not have access to the CD, and browser access to the
KVM switch has already been disabled, you will need to obtain the
file from your system administrator. Once you have saved the AP
Windows Client, go to its location and double-click the WinClient.exe
icon to bring up the Windows Client Connection Screen.
Note:
1. If you have trouble opening the AP Windows Client, save it to your
desktop and try again.
2. When accessing the AP Windows Client for the first time, you will be
prompted to provide a serial number. This serial number can be found
on the CD included with your KVM.
3.3.1 The Connection Screen
A description of the contents of the Connection Screen is given in the following table:

Menu Bar
The Menu Bar contains two menus; File and Help. The File Menu allows the operator to Create, Save, and Open Work files.

box. Double-click on any of the units in this list to connect to it.
Server List
Note: For a switch to show up in the Server List, the Enable Device List check box in the Operating Mode page (see Operating Mode section
under Device Management in OSD Operation for details) must be checked and the Program service port in the Network page (see Network
section under Device Management in OSD Operation for details) must be set to the same number as in the AP Windows Client Port field.
This area is used when you want to connect to a B064-Series KVM Switch at a remote location.
• Click on the IP drop-down and select an address from the list. If the address you want is not listed, key in the target IP
address in the IP field, and its port number in the Port field.
