Keyboard (KB)
The KVM operates with Windows, Linux, HP UX, Alpha UNIX SGI, DOS, Novell, MAC, USB or Open VMS.
By default the keyboard mode is set to PS for Intel based computers.
For the other systems set the KB column as follows:
•U1 for HP UX
•U2 for Alpha UNIX, SGI, Open VMS
Adding/changing a hotkey (HKEY)
Cascade the KVM by connecting another KVM Switch to a Computer port instead of a computer, and then connecting more Server Interface Units to the second Switch. Connect a third and fourth Switch in the same way. With the KVM 16 Port model, connect up to 256 computers through cascading.
You will need to define a hotkey to display the OSD of each Switch. These hotkeys must be different for the top and bottom layers. The hotkeys can be any of the choices as set out previously.
To add/change a hotkey:
1.On the line to which the Switch is connected, press Tab to jump to the HKEY column.
2.Toggle between the options using the Space bar.
