Quick Installation Guide 

Thank you for purchasing the 

KLE – a full-featured IP KVM 

Extender for remote server control over IP

! This Quick Installation 

Guide will help you connect the KLE to your conventional KVM Switch 

and/or server(s) and install it within your networking environment for 

remote client access across Intranet/Internet. 

Check the Front-Panel and Rear Panel  

Take out the Package contents 

Take out the KLE and the accessories from the packaging box, and 

check whether you have all these items in the KLE packaging box. 

Begin your KLE installation … 

1.

Power on the 

KLE

: plug the 

Power adapter to 

the power socket 

on the side of 

KLE. 

2.

Set up your 

local console: 

connect a PS/2 

keyboard, mouse, 

and monitor to 

the KLE 

keyboard, mouse 

and monitor port. 

3-a.

 Connect to 

single server 

/computer:

 If 

you need only 

connect to one server/computer. Just connect the PC/KVM port on the 

backpanel of 

KLE to the 

server, using the 

3-in-1 slim 

KVM combo 

cable and/or the 

USB cable. 

or

, 3-b.

Connect to 

Multiple 

Servers/compu

ters

: If you have 

to connect to 

multiple 

servers/compute

rs, you’ll have 

to use a 

conventional 

KVM Switch in between. Just connect the PC/KVM port on KLE 

backpanel to the console port of the KVM Switch, using either the 3-in-1 

slim KVM combo cable or the USB cable. 

4.

Boot up connected computers (if they are not powered-on yet):

 On 

the KLE local console, you should verify that the keyboard, mouse and 

monitor are all working on each of the connected server(s).  

Prepare your computers for KLE connection 

1.

Turn off mouse acceleration and “Snap to” option on each of your 

computers/servers:

 Mouse 

synchronization can function properly 

only when these two options are turned off 

on all connected computers. Taking 

Windows XP/2003 for example: Go to 

Control Panel/Mouse/Pointer speed

 and 

set the mouse speed to be at the exact 

middle of the scale, then uncheck both the 

Enhance Pointer Precision

 option and the 

Snap to

 option. For more details, please 

refer to the 

User Guide, Section 2.2. 

2.

Use a more common display 

frequency such as 60 Hz / 72 Hz / 75 Hz and pixel dimension:

 We 

suggest you use more standard display modes, such as:  

800x600@60Hz / 72 Hz / 75 Hz 

1024x768@60Hz / 70 Hz / 75 Hz 

1280 x 1024@60 Hz 

3. Disable transitional effect:

Go to 

Control Panel/ Display / 

Appearance / Effects

. And then uncheck the option to disable transition 

effects such as 

Fade

 for the menus and tool tips. This will much improve 

your video quality when you are using Medium or Low Quality as your 

KLE video filter setting.

Configure KLE for connection within LAN 

1.

Connect the KLE to your LAN:

 Connect the Ethernet port of the 

KLE to one of the LAN port on your network switch/hub within your 

LAN, using an Cat5 UTP cable. (

Since the KLE accessories do not 

include a UTP cable, you should prepare one for use!

) 

Upon connection to LAN, the Link LED will be lit to indicate ready 

Ethernet connectivity. If it is not lit, that means the connection is not 

ready. An orange 10/100M LED is lit to 

indicate a 100 Mbps connection; 

otherwise, it’s 10 Mbps connection. 

 If your LAN is using different 

network segment other than 

192.168.1.xxx, you might consider 

configuring one computer to have an IP 

address of 192.168.1.xxx  such that you 

can access the KLE web and then change 

KLE IP address to one appropriate to 

your regular IP segment. 

 The factory default IP setting of KLE 

as you receive it in the box packaging are such as: 

Port base:  

5900 

IP address:  

192.168.1.200 

Subnet mask:    

255.255.255.0 

 Default 

gateway: 

192.168.1.254 

 DNS: 

  192.168.1.1 

2.

Log in KLE Web management interface: 

Access the KLE web 

management interface by a standard browser connection. Just type in the 

address bar of your browser: 

 https://:

For example: https://192.168.1.200:5908 

and log in with the following username and password: 

 Username: 

superuser 

 Password: 

superu 

3.

Configure KLE TCP/IP settings:

 go to the 

LAN TCP/IP

 page to 

configure settings such as 

port base, IP address, Network Mask, 

Gateway

 and 

DNS

 server. 

For example, we could configure KLE such as followings: 

Port base:  

6080   

 IP: 

  192.168.1.36 

Subnet mask:    

255.255.255.0 

 Default 

gateway: 

192.168.1.11 

 DNS: 

  192.168.1.1 

With these settings, it means you’ll use 6080 for viewer port base and 

6088 for SSL browser connection. For example, you should type 

https://192.168.1.36:6088 in the browser address bar for KLE Web 

management access. And within the viewer prompt window, you should 

type: 192.168.1.36:6080 

 Note that the DNS setting is required only when you want to use the 

mail alert function to notify users about specific server alert events via 

e-mail. 

4.

Validate the new settings:

 Click 

Submit

 button below to commit it to 

KLE’s flash memory. Then go to the 

Apply Setting 

Page, and click the 

Apply Setting

 button to make new settings effective on the KLE. 

5.

Verify the presence of KLE within your LAN:

 try to ping the IP 

address of KLE from any computer on your LAN. For example, in the 

DOS box you type:  

 ping 

192.168.1.36 

…. and it should reply your pinging. 

You can now access KLE using any computer within your LAN 

environment.  

Configure router/firewall settings for internet access 

To allow access to the KLE behind corporate firewall/router, please 

configure the following settings on your router (not on your KLE): 

1.

Configure a virtual server on your router:

 you should configure (or 

ask your net admin to configure for you!) a virtual server as mapped to 

the KLE local IP address  

2.

Open a port range (

port_base>

 ~

port_base_+_9>) both inbound 

and outbound 

for the virtual server:

 you should open a port range 

according to what you have configured as port base for KLE in previous 

steps. Taking previous example, if we configure KLE as having a port 

base of 6080, then we should open port range 6080~6089 ( that is, 

port_base>

 ~ 

port_base +9

>) both for inbound and outbound, in 

which,  

      = 6080 is the KLE viewer connection port 

      . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .  .  

      = 6088 is the browser SSL connection port 

       = 6089 is for viewer internal communication, etc.  

For example: 

Router internet IP 

ÅÆ

 virtual server (port range open) 

ÅÆ

 KLE local IP 

61.232.134.120 

ÅÆ

 virtual server (port 6080~6089 open) 

ÅÆ

 192.168.1.36  

 Once you have changed the port base of your KLE, you should also 

modify the open port range on your router accordingly, if you want 

internet access to come across. 

Test KLE viewer connection from LAN and Internet 

After you have installed KLE within your KVM Switch / server(s) / 

networking environment, you could now test the viewer connection from 

LAN and across Internet. 

1.

Access KLE Browser Management Interface: 

Use a standard 

browser to access KLE web management interface. Enter the valid IP 

address and browser port number within your browser 

address bar. 

 https://IP_address:browser_port 

Taking previous case for example, you should enter   

https://192.168.1.36:6088

Then login with the default account: 

User name: superuser 

Password:   superu 

2.

Download and install the Win32 viewer program:

 Go to the 

Download
