1. The quick installation guide
The GFC IPM switch redirects local keyboard, mouse and video data to a remote
administration console. It allows you to control one or many computers locally at the server
site or remotely via the Internet using a standard browser. You can securely gain BIOS level
access to systems for maintenance, support, or failure recovery over the Internet.
Communication is secure via SSL encryption. Use in conjunction with a KVM switch for
multiple-server access.

computer/KVM, and the other end of 3-in-1 cable to the host PS/2 mouse port on the
GFC IPM Switch.
10.Connect one green end of 3-in-1 cable to PS/2 keyboard port on the host
computer/KVM, and the other end of 3-in-1 cable to the host PS/2 keyboard port on the
GFC IPM switch.

using remote mass storage control.
12.Connect Ethernet to LAN port and/or modem to serial port, depending on how you want
to access GFC IPM switch
1.2 Initial IP configuration
In factory default, DHCP mode is disabled (IP auto configuration = None), and the IP
settings are as below:
IP address 192.168.1.22
Subnet mask 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway None
If DHCP mode is enabled (IP auto configuration = DHCP), the GFC IPM switch will try
to contact a DHCP server in the subnet to which it is physically connected. If a DHCP
server is found, it may provide a valid IP address, gateway address and net mask.
Before you connect the device to your local subnet, be sure to complete the
corresponding configuration of your DHCP server. It is recommended to configure a
fixed IP assignment to the MAC address of the GFC IPM switch. You can find the MAC
address labeled on the bottom side of the metal housing.
GFC IPM switch Setup Tool
If this initial configuration does not meet your local requirements, use the setup tool to
change the configurations to your needs. The setup tool PSetup can be found on the
CD ROM delivered with this package. You can follow the procedures described below.
1. DHCP
If you have installed the GFC IPM switch on a network that enables DHCP, you can
use the PSetup to find out the GFC IPM switch’s IP.
(1) Plug Ethernet cable to GFC IPM switch. GFC IPM will get an IP via DHCP.
(2) Using PSetup (run PSetup.exe) to look for GFC IPM.
a. Select MAC address which label on bottom of the GFC IPM switch

b.ClickQuery Device
2. Setup fixed IP
a. Setup “IP auto configuration” as “None” ; setup IP address and Subnet mask
b. Enter Super user login and password forAuthentication (default : super/pass)
c. Click Setup Device. If super login was authenticated, it’ll show “Successfully
configured device”. Otherwise it’ll show “Permission Denied”.

Install JVM on Client system
GFC IPM switch was accessed using a standard JAVA enabled web browser. You must
install Sun JVM 1.4.2 or above to your client system.
Note: At a minimum you must have Internet Explorer 6.0 or Netscape 7.0 or Molliza 1.6
(and above) installed on your client computer.
Connect GFC IPM switch via Web
Using the HTTP protocol or a secure encrypted connection via HTTPS and entering the
configured IP address of GFC IPM switch into your web browser to connect GFC IPM switch.
The factory default settings are:
Username super
Password pass
Changing default username and password to user specific values is strongly recommended
and can be done on the User Management page (see the Section called Users and Groups
in Chapter 6).
Control servers via Remote Console
The Remote Console is the redirected screen, keyboard and mouse of the remote host
system to which GFC IPM switch is installed. The Remote Console will behave exactly the
same way as if you were sitting directly in front of the screen of your remote system. That
means that both the keyboard and mouse can be used in the usual way. Open the console
by selecting the preview picture on the main site of the HTML front end. Figure 1-2 shows
