CHAPTER 4: Configuration
4. Configuration
To configure your ServSwitch Duo/Quadro system, you’ll need to configure first
the attached PCs, as directed in
Section 4.1
, then the Duo/Quadro itself, as
directed in the rest of this chapter.
4.1 Configuring Your PCs
Configure your PCs in the same way that you would if your keyboard, mouse, and
monitor were all connected directly to your PCs. Keep in mind that the ServSwitch
Duo/Quadro emulates Microsoft compatible serial, IntelliMouse, and PS/2 mice;
so you’ll need to make sure that your PC software is configured for a Microsoft
mouse of the correct type. Refer to the list of supported drivers in
Section 3.1
.
4.2 Configuring the Duo/Quadro System
You’ll configure the ServSwitch Duo/Quadro using its on-screen display (OSD)
menu system, which is activated by default when you first power on the system. It
can also be accessed by using the keyboard “hotkeys” (see
Section 5.5
) or by using
the Duo’s/Quadro’s front-panel pushbuttons (see
Section 5.2
). The steps in this
section summarize a typical configuration process. For more advanced information
on each of the configuration steps, refer to the corresponding sections of this
manual.
NOTE
The Duo/Quadro is configured through the ADMIN user account. The
Duo/Quadro will allow multiple users to be logged in under the ADMIN
account but will only allow one of these users to be adding or editing
computer names or user profiles or setting global and setup options at
any one time.
Step 1: Decide if you’re going to use password security
The ServSwitch Duo/Quadro can be run with security enabled or disabled. With
security disabled (which is how the Duo/Quadro is shipped to you), all user ports
have full access to all of the computers and full administration rights. This mode is
suitable for simple installations with a small number of users. Larger or sensitive
installations or systems with more users will usually require password security to be
enabled. In this mode, each user logs onto the system and is allocated access rights
to selected computers by the system administrator. This mode is recommended for
most systems; see
Section 4.3
for details on how to enable security. If you are not
using security, skip to Step 4.
