SERVSWITCH™ CONSOLE PLUS

Site planning
Organizing your site and planning the placement of the computers, the KVM
station, and the ServSwitch Console Plus is a key part in the installation and
configuration process. Care should be taken when connecting the computers,
KVM and the ServSwitch Console Plus . Locate the ServSwitch Console Plus as
close as possible to the computers so the cables are as short as possible but still
give some freedom of movement. Using shorter cables keeps the video noise to
a minimum and reduces installation costs. Provide proper strain relief for all
cables.
The ServSwitch Console Plus can be rack mounted with a rack mount kit (see
Appendix J & K).
Wherever the ServSwitch Console Plus is located, it should be on a secure
surface, free from obstructions and objects that may cause damage to the Unit
or an individual.
Following are a few items to consider prior to installing or configuring the
ServSwitch Console Plus switch:
n
Identify the computers that do not use a PC2 type keyboard and a PS/2
mouse (default settings). Before connecting these computers to a CPU
port, the CPU port must be pre-configured to change the default keyboard
and mouse types to the correct types.
n
Each computer can be assigned a unique computer name. Names like staff,
marketing, and finance make it easy to identify and connect to.
The default computer names are Computer x (x = 1 – 1,000)
n
The KVM station can also be assigned a unique KVM name.
The default KVM name is KVM station 1
n
Access to the system set-up and configuration can be limited by assigning a
configuration password.
n
Access to the computers can be limited by assigning each user a unique
user ID and password and configuring the switch to require a login.
n
Pre-plan the expansion cable routing for expanded systems.
The configuration of the system, computers, KVM stations, users, profiles, and
groups are defined in the menu section.
