Step 2: Connect the Target Server to the CommandCenter Secure Gateway

Dual port video groups can be created from existing port connections, or new port connections. The steps provided here assume you are creating new connections. If you are creating a dual port video group from existing connections, see Step 4: Create the Dual Video Port Group.

  1. Install and power up your target server per the manufacturer's instructions if you have not already done so.
  2. Attach each CIM's video connector to each of the target's video output ports, and connect the USB cables to available USB ports on the target.
  3. Connect each CIM to the CommandCenter Secure Gateway using a CAT5/6 cable.
  4. If you have not already done so, connect the CommandCenter Secure Gateway to an AC power source using the provided power cable, connect to the CommandCenter Secure Gateway network port and local port (if needed), and configure the CommandCenter Secure Gateway. See Getting Started for the steps needed to begin using the CommandCenter Secure Gateway.
  5. Log in to to your CommandCenter Secure Gateway from any workstation with network connectivity that has Microsoft .NET® and/or Java Runtime Environment® installed.
  6. Launch a supported web browser such as Internet Explorer® or Firefox®.
  7. Enter the URL: http://IP-ADDRESS or http://IP-ADDRESS/akc for .NET, where IP-ADDRESS is the IP address assigned to your CommandCenter Secure Gateway. You can also use https, the DNS name of the CommandCenter Secure Gateway assigned by the administrator (provided that a DNS server has been configured), or type the IP address in the browser (CommandCenter Secure Gateway always redirects the IP address from HTTP to HTTPS.)
  8. Enter your username and password. Click Login.
  9. Configure the target server mouse mode.

    For example, set the target server to use Intelligent mouse mode if you are using Intelligent mouse mode on your remote client. See Mouse Settings for the mouse mode settings that should be applied based on the operating system you are using.
