26 IP-REACH USER MANUAL
Compression Tab
Settings in the Compression Tab are adjustable via the RRC client, and therefore are not necessary for
pre-configuration in the Connection Profile. Should you wish to pre-configure these settings, however,
refer to the section in this chapter labeled, Connection and Video Properties.
Security Tab
If you have configured your IP-Reach unit to use a private group key, you must enter it here in order to be
authorized to initiate a connection with that IP-Reach unit. Click on the [OK] button when you have
completed the fields.
When you have completed the Connect and Security screens, click on the [OK] button to finish creating
the connection.
Establishing a New Connection
To connect to a Raritan networked device, simply double-click on its entry in the RRC Navigator. You
will be asked to authenticate the device.
Note:
The default IP-Reach login user name is <admin>, with the password <raritan>.
This user has administrative privileges. Passwords are case sensitive and must be
entered in the exact case combination in which they were created.
The default password <raritan> must be entered entirely in lowercase letters.
To ensure security, change the default username password as soon as possible.
If you do not see an entry for your IP-Reach in the RRC Navigator, follow the instructions in the
Creating New Profiles section in this chapter to create a new connection profile for your IP-Reach.
If you are having problems connecting to a Raritan device, be sure to check the following:
• Username / Password: Raritan usernames and passwords are case-sensitive.
• TCP Port: If you have configured your Raritan Device to use a non-default TCP Port, this
information must be entered into its connection profile.
• Firewall Settings: If you are accessing a Raritan Device through a firewall, that firewall must be
configured to allow two-way communication on TCP Port 5000 (or the custom TCP Port to which
your Raritan Device has been configured).
• Security Key: If you have configured your Raritan Device to require a group security key, that key
must be entered into the device's connection profile.
Closing a Remote Connection
When you would like to terminate your connection to an IP-Reach unit, simply right-click on the device
entry in the RRC Navigator, and select Disconnect.
