Ports
Highlight the Ports option and press the [Enter] key to open the Port Settings page. This page allows you to edit port names, set the remote computer
keyboard type, and set the hotkey for ports that have second level KVM switches connected to them. The table below describes each of these settings.
Column Description
NAME
The first column displays the name associated to each port. You can change this by moving the cursor to the desired port name and simply
typing over the existing name with the desired name. Port names can be up to 15 characters in length, with spaces counting as characters.
KB
The second column displays the keyboard type associated with each port. By default, each port is set to PS, which works with Intel-based
computers and UNIX servers connected using a B078-101-USB. To toggle this setting between the options listed below, move the cursor
to the desired port, press the [Tab] key to move to the KB column, and then press the [Spacebar] key.
•
PS
– Intel-based computers and UNIX servers connected using a B078-101-USB
•
U1
– HP UX
•
U2
– Alpha UNIX, SGI or Open VMS
•
U3
– IBM AIX
HKEY
By default, the
HKEY
setting for each port is
NO
, which means that a computer is connected to it. When a second level KVM is connected
to a port, you need to update this setting to display its hotkey. To toggle this setting between the various hotkeys, move the cursor to
the desired port, press the [Tab] key to move to the
HKEY
column, and then press the [Spacebar] key.
Time
Highlight the
Time
option and press the [Enter] key to open the
Time Settings
page. This page lists all of the KVM ports on the left, and 3 time columns
on the right, which are described below.
SCN
– Sets the amount of time spent on the selected port during an
Auto Scan
. The default scan interval is 30 seconds. A setting of 000 causes the
corresponding port to be skipped during an
Auto Scan
.
LBL
– Sets the amount of time that the port’s label is displayed on the screen for. The default label display time is 30 seconds. A setting of 999
causes the label to be displayed continuously. A setting of 000 causes the label not to appear at all.
T/O
– When
Security
is enabled, you set the KVM to logout after a specified amount of time. When this time is reached, entering the OSD invocation
command brings up a prompt asking you to enter a password, which is required to regain access to the KVM. The default timeout value is 30 seconds.
A setting of 999 disables the timeout function.
Note
: A setting of 000 causes the KVM to logout immediately, not allowing the user enough time to hit
the OSD invocation command to pull up the password prompt. It is recommended that you always keep the timeout setting at 5 seconds or higher. If
you set the timeout setting at 000 and get locked out of the KVM, turn the unit off and then back on. When turned back on, you will be able to use
the OSD invocation command to pull up the password prompt and regain access to the OSD.
To set the time periods mentioned above, follow the steps below.
1. Move the cursor to the desired port row and press the [Tab] key to jump to the desired column.
2. When the cursor is moved to the desired column, simply type in the time interval.
Users
The
Users
option can only be accessed when Security is enabled in the
General Settings
page. (See
General
under
On-Screen Display OSD F2
Settings
section for details.) Highlight the
Users
option and press the [Enter] key to open the
User Settings
page. In the column on the left side of the
screen, all of the ports on the KVM are listed. On the right side of the screen, there are 6 columns; one for each
user
account. For example, column
1 represents the first
user
account that is displayed in the
Security Settings
page. (See the
Security Settings
section for details.) The letters in each
column represent the access rights that the corresponding
user
account has for the corresponding port. There are three types of access a
user
can
be given to a port, which are described below.
•
Y
– A
Y
signifies that the corresponding
user
account has full access rights to the corresponding port.
• V – A
V
signifies that the corresponding
user
account has view-only access rights to the corresponding port, meaning that they can view the remote
video, but are not allowed to control the connected computer with the keyboard and mouse.
• N – A
N
signifies that the corresponding
user
account is not allowed to access the corresponding port.
To change the
User
settings, the
administrator
must follow the steps below.
1. In the
User Settings
page, use the [
↓
] and [
↑
] keys to move the cursor to the desired port row.
2. Use the [
←
] and [
→
] keys to move the cursor to the desired account column.
3. Press the [Spacebar] key to toggle between the different access types.
