VGA), and mouse are provided on the rear panel – permitting you to manage
the switch from a local console. There is also an external USB mouse port on
the keyboard module, allowing you to use an external mouse, rather than the
touchpad.
Access to any computer connected to the installation from the local console is
easily accomplished by means of a powerful mouse driven graphical OSD (On
Screen Display) menu system. A convenient

feature also permits
automatic scanning and monitoring of the activities of all computers running
on the installation one by one.
