Note on Microsoft Active Directory
Microsoft Active Directory uses the LDAP/LDAPS protocol natively, and
can function as an LDAP/LDAPS server and authentication source for
the KX II-101. If it has the IAS (Internet Authorization Server) component,
a Microsoft Active Directory server can also serve as a RADIUS
authentication source.
Create User Groups and Users
As part of the initial configuration, you must define user groups and users
in order for users to access the KX II-101.
The KX II-101 uses system-supplied default user groups and allows you
to create groups and specify the appropriate permissions to suit your
needs.
User names and passwords are required to gain access to the KX II-101.
This information is used to authenticate users attempting to access your
KX II-101.
See User Management (on page 116) for details on adding and editing
use
r
groups and users.
Configure the KX II-101 Using a Terminal Emulation Program (Optional)
You can use the Admin serial console with a terminal emulation program
like HyperTerminal to set the following configuration parameters for the
KX II-101:
• IP address
• Subnet mask address
• Gateway address
• IP access control
• LAN speed
• LAN interface mode
To use a terminal emulation program with the KX II-101, you must first
connect the included RS-232 serial cable from the Admin port on the KX
II-101 to the COM1 port on your PC. See Admin Port (on page 23).
For de
mon
stration purposes, the terminal emulation program described
in this section is HyperTerminal. You can use any terminal emulation
program.
To use a terminal emulation program to configure the KX II-101:
1. Connect the KX II-101 to a local PC using the included RS-232 serial
cable.
2. Connect to the Admin port on the KX II-101 and the COM1 port on
the PC.
