LCM Installer and User Guide
Preemptive behavior
By default, the console switch operates in preemptive mode. This means
that one user can disconnect another user from a server connection without
warning. For example, if the analog user is accessing server 1 via KCO cable
A and the remote user switches to the same server via KCO cable B, the
analog user will be preempted and the remote user will take command of the
connection. The analog user’s screen will go blank and they will receive no
disconnect warning.
If you will have users performing sensitive tasks who should not be
preempted, you can connect only one CO cable to the switch. This will ensure
that no user can preempt another without administrative privileges at the
remote console.
To turn on your LCM system:
The components in the LCM system may be turned on in any order. However,
since the CO cables are powered by the servers, turn on the servers first and
then turn on all attached systems for the most efficient startup.
To use more than one regional language keyboard in a system:
You may need to configure your remote console to synchronize with a target
server if the keyboard of that server is set up for a different language than your
remote console. For instance, if you are using a French (AZERTY) keyboard on
the remote console and you connect to a target server that is using an English
(QWERTY) keyboard, you will need to create a second keyboard on the remote
workstation (English keyboard).
To verify a target server’s keyboard language:
1.
Launch the Virtual Console software at the remote workstation.
2. Click
the
Devices
tab and then the target server.
3. Click
the
Connect Video
task button.
4.
On the target server for Microsoft Windows 2000 select
Start - Settings -
Control Panel - Regional Options.
For other operating systems, see the
user guide that comes with your system.
5.
Verify the language.
To synchronize languages with the target server:
1.
At the remote station for Microsoft Windows 2000 select
Start - Settings
- Control Panel - Regional Options.
Select the language for the target server.
For other operating systems, see the user guide that comes with your system.
2.
The languages should now be synchronized.
