Enable local console access to the Admin panel
Operators and administrators can access the Admin panel locally to reconfigure the Pearl device without
needing a laptop. With the local console feature, you can connect a USB mouse, keyboard, and a monitor
directly to Pearl device. Or you can connect a touch screen monitor. The Pearl device also supports
connection of a USB wireless RF receiver for local console. Pearl Nano also supports the connection of a
USB hub.
A built-in virtual keyboard is readily available, but you can also connect an external USB keyboard. When
you enable local console, you must also enable the
External keyboard
option.
Use the Admin panel or the Pearl device screen to enable local console and the external USB keyboard.
Once enabled, simply connect your USB mouse, USB keyboard, and an HDMI monitor to the HDMI OUT
port that has local console enabled. You cannot use the HDMI pass-through port for local console.
Optionally, you can disable whether or not users must login to the Admin panel when they access the
local console. Login is enabled by default.
You can also change the layout of the built-in and external keyboards to any of the supported languages.
If you select multiple languages, you can toggle between languages using Ctrl+Shift (or Ctrl+Alt).
