The group name is assigned by the KVM administrator (see the Setup page section below for information on changing the group name). The computer list can be sorted on this field by clicking on the column header.

Computer Name Column

The Computer Name column displays the name of each connected computer. The computer name can be set by the KVM administrator (see the Setup page section below for information on changing the computer name). The computer list can be sorted on this field by clicking on the column header.

ID Column

Mouse Column

The mouse column displays the status of the current mouse connection, and is updated in real time. If the connection to the computer is via a PS/2 cable, a small mouse icon is displayed. If the mouse connection to the computer is via USB, the USB trident symbol is displayed. If no mouse is detected, the cell will be empty.

Security Column

The security column displays the security settings for the current user. If this user is restricted from accessing a computer, a closed padlock symbol is displayed. If the user is allowed to access the computer, the cell is empty.

Note: The KVM administrator can prevent computers from appearing in the Main View if the user doesn’t have rights to access them (for additional information, see the Options page, on page 30).

Console Column

The console currently viewing the computer is indicated in this column by its corresponding letter (A–D). If multiple consoles are focused on the same computer, an asterisk will appear in the console cell.

AutoScan Button

Click the AutoScan button or press “ALT + A” on the keyboard to toggle the AutoScan feature. This will not close the OSD.

Setup Button

Click the “Setup” button or press “ALT + S” on the keyboard to access the OSD Setup pages. If the user is not logged in as Admin, the Setup button will not be selectable (grayed-out).

Logout Button

Click on the “Logout” button or press “ALT + T” on the keyboard to return to guest-level access. If the administrator has removed guest access, then when the user logs out, they lose focus on the port. All hot keys and the front panel will be disabled, with the exception of opening the OSD, which will present the user with the login dialog.
