CHAPTER 5: Accessing ServSwitch Features
Function-key
F2
allows you to switch a computer’s eye mark on or off. First, use the
up-arrow
and
down-arrow
keys to highlight a computer, then press
F2
to switch its
eye mark on or off. If Scan Type (described on the next page) is Ready PC, only
the power-on and eye-mark selected computers will be displayed sequentially in
Scan mode.
Function-key
F3
enables you to lock a computer to prevent unauthorized access.
To lock a computer, highlight it and then press
F3
. Now, for the new password,
type in up to four characters (A–Z, 0–9) and press the
Enter
key. A security-
enabled computer is marked with a lock symbol following its port number. To
permanently disable the security function from a locked computer, highlight it,
press
F3
and then type in the password.
If you want to access the locked computer temporarily, simply highlight it and
press the
Enter
key, then the OSD will ask you for the password. After typing in the
correct password, you are allowed to use the computer. This computer is
automatically re-locked once you switch to another port. During Scan mode, the
OSD skips the password-protected computers.
Function-key
F4
enables more functions, including AutoScan, Manual Scan, Scan
Type, Scan Rate, Keyboard Speed, Hotkey Menu, CH Display, Position, Country
Code for Sun, and Max. Resolution. A new screen pops up displaying these
functions as described on the next two pages. Most of them are marked with a
triangle, indicating there are options to choose from. Use the
up-arrow
or
down-
arrow
key to select the functions, and then press the
Enter
key. Available options
will be shown in the middle of the screen. Again, use the
up-arrow
or
down-arrow
keys to view each option, and then press the
Enter
key to select it.
Function-key
F5
(KV9408A and KV9416A only) switches a port’s Sun mark on or
off to indicate if the computer is a Sun server. Sun servers have more keys on the
keyboard than a PC. When you select a Sun marked port, the ServSwitch translates
the keys from a PS/2 keyboard to a Sun keyboard. See Keyboard mapping in
Section 4.4.5
for details.
Press the
Esc
key to exit the OSD at any time and return to the port/PC screen that
you were previously connected to.
