The I8330 I/Port is the first of a new class of I/Ports that
connects over Ethernet but does not rely on the Microsoft
Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) for connection.
The I8330 delivers 16-bit color depth and supports moni-
tors at a maximum resolution of 1280x1024, with
better
performance than RDP-based desktop devices
.
CONNECTIONS
Install your I8330 I/Port on the desktop , then connect the keyboard,
mouse, Ethernet connection, and video to the ports as indicated. The
I8330 requires the use of PS/2 keyboards and mice. Attach other devices
as desired. After connecting the I8330, connect the power supply and turn
on the power switch.
NOTE:
On the I8330, PS/2 devices (keyboard or mouse) are not hot-plugga-
ble. You must turn off the I8330 before attaching or detaching PS/2 devices.
SENTRAL CONFIGURATION
The I8330 I/Port requires Sentral 5.2 or higher. Your Sentral Console
must have the I83xx Admin Utility installed on it, and each blade or VM to
which the I8330 connects must have the I83xx Driver installed. The I83xx
Driver requires Windows XP.
By default, the I8330 is configured to automatically attempt a direct con-
nection to a blade with the
I83xx Driver installed. To change this configura-
tion, press F10 during startup, or click the Options button at the Login
screen and select Setup.
In the Options tab of Setup, click the button for Sentral and select Save.
The I8330 I/Port will restart. If the Sentral network is available, a Sentral
login dialog is displayed, and the I8330 is ready for login.
The user must be joined to the Windows domain used by your Sentral
installation, or must be a local user on the blade or Virtual Machine (VM)

to which the user will connect. The user must also be joined to a Sentral
User Group, and the target blade or VM must be allocated to that User
Group. For a successful login, the target blade or VM must be discovered
in Sentral.
If Sentral is not available, a direct connection login is displayed, with an
error message saying the server could not be found. Click through this
error to make a direct connection.
For more information, please see the Sentral Administrator’s Guide.
DIRECT CONNECTION
By default, the I8330 I/Port is configured to automatically attempt a direct
connection to a blade
. However, this configuration is not recommended for
deployment.
For direct connection, the I8330 requires the Sentral I83xx
Driver to be installed on each blade or Virtual Machine (VM) to which it
will connect.
NOTE:
The I83xx Driver requires Windows XP. No other operating systems
are supported.
When the I8330 I/Port is first started, a dialog box allowing a direct login
is displayed. The login displays a list of the first eight blades it finds that
have the I83xx Driver installed. Select a blade, and click Connect.
The user must be joined to the Windows domain used by the blade, or
must be a local user on the blade to which the user will connect.
OPERATING NOTES
Use the power switch on the back of the I8330 to turn it on and off. The
blue LAN activity LED on the front panel blinks in response to traffic
between the I8330 and the network, but will otherwise remains steadily lit.
The configurable I8330 options that can be set locally in the device
include TCP/IP address, monitor resolution, and color depth.
NOTE: If using DHCP, verify that name resolution is activated to detect
non-Windows-based systems and that the DNS server is registering the
I/Port. For non-DHCP networks, a static IP address manually assigned to
the I8330 should not conflict with an existing address in the network.
Enable any necessary ports on your switches and routers.
For more information, please see the I/Port User’s Guide.
