CHAPTER 4: Full Configuration

4.4 Configuring User Stations

Using the “Configure KVM” page, you can assign names to your keyboard/video/ mouse user stations, choose stations’ default resolutions and refresh rates, choose startup computers, and enable or disable login procedures. If a login is not required, you can also assign “user profiles” to given stations (see Section 4.6).

Configure KVM
ID Bus		KVM Name		Resolution	Start	Profile
1	1	KVM Station	1	640x480@60	0	User	1
2	2	KVM Station	2	640x480@60	0	User	2

Name of keyboard-video-mouse station (KVM), up to 16 characters

Figure 4-5. The “Configure KVM” page.

Here are the station-configuration parameters:

ID

The “ID” field contains the unique “communication ID” number assigned to the user station in the Matrix ServSwitch system. This value isn’t changeable through this menu; the Switch system will automatically calculate it based on the chassis’ starting computer number and the number of that station’s user port. The system recalculates this number when the chassis’ starting computer number is changed.

Bus

The “Bus” field contains the station’s “video bus” number KVM n (the video path that the station is assigned to). This number can’t be changed. It will always be either “1” or “2” (KVM 1 or 2) depending on which KVM port the station is attached to.
