4.6 Setting and using the security password
There are many situations where unrestricted access to computers or sensitive
information needs to be controlled. In such circumstances, the X-KVM
local
unit
may be locked away in a room or secure cabinet and the computer may be
controlled remotely from the
remote
unit.
The X-KVM incorporates a security password system that enables the
remote
unit
to be locked so that the secure computer cannot be controlled. Once a password
has been set the X-KVM
remote
unit may be disabled by pressing the hotkeys
together with the L (lock) key. The
remote
unit may only then be unlocked by
entering the password. For example if the hotkeys are set to CTRL and SHIFT then
pressing the following key combination would cause the X-KVM
remote
unit to lock.

When the
remote
unit is locked the video is switched off and the keyboard and
mouse are disconnected from the computer. Locking the
remote
unit does not affect
the operation of the
local
unit.
To unlock the AdderLink
remote
unit enter the password followed by the RETURN
key e.g.:

NOTE - The password consists of a combination of key strokes rather like the code
to a safe. The key strokes are not case sensitive and can include all the keys on the
keyboard (except ctrl, alt, shift and enter). Consequently the following 'password'
would be valid:
oFRED
g
To set the password, enter configuration mode by typing ‘HOTKEYS’ and RETURN
on the keyboard attached to the
remote
unit (see section 2.8). When in configure
mode type ‘P’ then RETURN. Now enter the password which may be up to 40
