Device Assignment

When a user logs onto the KVM switch, the ports that they are allowed to access are displayed in the port list. Ports that they are not allowed to access are not displayed. Port access rights, as well as access to virtual media functionality and configuration settings, is assigned on a port-by-port basis in the user or group Device tab. To access the Device tab, you must pull up the user or group information page, and then click on the Device tab at the top-right of the page.

The Device tab page includes a list of the master KVM switch and its ports on the left, and three permission columns to the right of the list.

•Access – Determines if the account can access the port, and if so, whether they have View Only or Full access.

•USB – Determines if the account can access virtual media mounted to the port, and if so, whether they have Read or Read/Write access.

•Config – If the box is checked next to a port, the account is given access to edit the Port Configuration settings. (See Port Configuration section under OSD Operation for details.) Note: For Configuration access to take effect, the account must also have been given Port Configuration permission. (See the Adding User Accounts section under User Management for details.)

To assign device permissions, do the following:

1.Select the user/group name from the user/group list, or select the user/group name in the main panel and click the Modify button.

2.In the user/group notebook page that appears, click on the Device tab.

3.Click on the Access, USB or Config checkbox next to the desired port to toggle through the permission options. For the Access and USB columns, you can choose between full access, view only access or no access. For the Config column, you can choose between enabled or disabled. The permission types are exactly the same as those described in the Access sub-section. (See Access section for details.)

4.When you have finished assigning permissions, click the Save button.

Note: You can simultaneously assign port access to multiple ports using the [Shift] or [Ctrl] keys. To highlight a group of consecutive ports, start by highlighting the first port, hold down the [Shift] key, and then highlight the last port that you wish to highlight. All ports from the first one you highlighted to the last will be highlighted. You can then click on any of the permission checkboxes to change that permission for all of the highlighted ports. To highlight multiple non-consecutive ports, start by highlighting the first port, hold down the [Ctrl] key, and then highlight each additional port one by one while continuing to hold down the [Ctrl] key. When all of the desired ports are highlighted, click on any checkbox to change that permission for all of the highlighted ports.
