AlterPath KVM Installation, Configuration, and Users Guide 349
Controlling the OSD Through the AlterPath
Remote Presence
While using the AlterPath Remote Presence (RP), an administrator has full
access to the OSD menus, so all local administration tasks can be performed
in an office or at any other location up to 500 feet away from the KVM. In
addition, you do not need a dedicated monitor, keyboard, and mouse to use
the RP; the RP box allows you to use the monitor, keyboard, and mouse of
your regular workstation and use keyboard shortcuts to toggle between the
view at your local work station and the view of the KVM.
See “Installing the AlterPath KVM Remote Presence” on page 112 for details
on how to install an RP. No configuration is required to begin using the RP.
