Port Operation

After you have successfully logged in (see Logging In, beginning on page 15), the B064-Series KVM Switch OSD Main Page appears with the Port Access tab selected:

Note: Upon logging into the B064-Series KVM Switch, you will notice a control panel that appears at the top center of the screen. The control panel will automatically disappear after a few seconds; it will reappear when you drag the mouse pointer over the top center of the screen.

All the ports that a user is permitted to access are listed in the Port Selection panel at the left of the page. Any ports a user does not have access to will not be displayed in their OSD. Double-click a port icon to access the device attached to it. Once you switch to a port, its screen displays on your monitor. Depending on whether you have Full Access or View Only access to the port, you may or may not be able to operate the remote computer using your keyboard and mouse.

The OSD Toolbar

•When in a remote session, hit the hotkey [Scroll Lock or Ctrl] three times to open the OSD.

•When the OSD Toolbar is opened in a remote session, hit the hotkey [Scroll Lock or Ctrl] once to open the OSD.
