The Port Selection List

Users only see the switches and ports they have been given access to.

Ports and cascaded KVM switches are located under their parent switches. Click the Plus (+) in front of a switch to expand the tree and see the ports underneath it. When in the non-browser OSD, you can also right-click on a port and select an option to expand/ collapse it.

Note: In order for a cascaded B064-016 to show up as an expandable KVM in the port list, you must use a PS/2 SIU to cascade it from the first-level KVM. If you use a USB SIU, it will be displayed as an ordinary port, and you will have to use the B064- 016 OSD to access computers/servers connected to it.

When expanded, there is a Minus (-)before the KVM’s device name. Click the Minus (-)to collapse the tree and hide the ports.

A port’s ID number is displayed in brackets next to the port icon.

For convenience, you can give each port a unique name in addition to this ID.

KVM switches and ports that are on line have their monitor screen icons lit green. The monitor screens are gray for devices and ports that are offline.

Port Naming

For convenience, especially in large installations with many KVM switches and ports, each port can be given a unique name. To assign, modify or delete a port name, follow the instructions below. Note: Administrators and Users must be given configuration access to a KVM or computer port to be able to edit the port name. (See Device Assignment section under User Management in OSD Operation for details.)

1.Click once on the port you want to edit to highlight it, wait one second and click on it again. Note: This is not a double-click; it involves two separate clicks. Double-clicking will switch you to the device attached to the port.

After a second or two, the display changes to provide a text input box.

2.Key in a name for the port (or change/delete a previous one). The maximum number of characters allowed for a port name is 20. You can use any combination of letters, numbers, and symbols on the typewriter keys of keyboards with PC US English layout.

3.When you have finished editing the port name, press [Enter] or click anywhere outside of the input box to complete the operation.

Scan

The Scan function automatically switches among all the ports accessible to the logged-on user at regular intervals, allowing their activity to be monitored automatically. (See Auto Scanning section under Remote Session Operation for details.) Note: The Scan icon will not appear when accessing the KVM switch via web browser.

Panel Array Mode

Panel Array Mode also permits port activity to be monitored automatically. The screen displays a grid of panels, each representing a port on the installation. Only ports that are on line and user accessible are displayed. Off-line or non-accessible ports are left blank. (See Panel Array Mode section under The OSD Toolbar in Remote Session Operation for details.) Note: The Array Mode icon will not appear when accessing the KVM switch via Web browser..

Filter

Filter allows you to control which ports are displayed in the Port Selection List, as well as which ports are scanned when Auto Scan Mode is invoked. When you click Filter, the bottom of the panel changes to look similar to the figure, below:

All – with no other filter options selected, lists all of the ports on the installation.

Putting a check mark in the Powered On checkbox lists only the ports that have their attached devices powered on.

The text input box and Search button allow you to key in a search string so that only port names that match what you key in show up in the list.

Interactive Display Panel

The Connections sub-section will display port status information on the Device Level and port connection and configuration options at the Port Level.

Device Level

When a KVM switch is selected in the Sidebar tree, the Connections sub-section will display a list of the ports that are accessible to the logged-on user.
