Changing the standard mode of the Service port
The
Service
port of the KVM switch can be used both for operating the setup menu
and for switching the channels with a serial device.
The
Setup Menu
mode is enabled in the default settings of the KVM switch. In this
mode, the
Setup Menu
is immediately displayed in the terminal emulator after a ses-
sion is established with the KVM switch.
If you primarily use the
Service
port for switching the active channel via a serial device,
it is recommendable to enable the
Switch
mode.
