USING YOUR SWITCH

Advanced Button

Activating this button will take the user to the advanced option screen.

Disable Viewing

When “Disable Viewing” is checked, only another administrator may view channels occupied by the administrator. This function will be active by default in IntelliView by design. For security reasons, admin needs to disable this if need be.

Daisy-Chain this KVM

Checking this box allows Switches set to BANK 00 to communicate with other BANKs in a daisy-chain configuration. This affects front-panel operations, and other operational parameters. Whenever the state of this check box is changed, the following message will be displayed, “This will reset the KVM to change this setting”. If the user selects “OK”, the Switch will immediately reboot in the new configuration. By default, Switches set to BANK 00 are configured as standalone (the check box is cleared).

Steal Control of this Host

This feature allows the KVM administrator to take full control of a host that is currently being used by other users.

Restore Factory Defaults

Selecting this button will reset ALL user-configurable settings (computer names, group names, passwords, etc.) to their default values on all BANKs in the daisy-chain. The user is presented with a confirmation screen before this action is applied.

Note: In a daisy-chain configuration, restoring factory default will cause unpredictable behavior. To resolve this temporary issue, the administrator will have to go back into the Options page, select the “Advanced” button, and check the “daisy-chain this KVM” box after “Restoring Factory Defaults” for BANK 00 to function properly.
