Restoring KVM Port Defaults

Clicking the Restore Defaults button at the bottom of the Port Select Web Page restores KVM port defaults. When restoring KVM port defaults, port access rights are revoked for users and groups, port notes and personal view shortcuts are removed, and the Port Operating System and Port Language settings are restored to the original factory default settings (“Factory Default Settings,” page 49). In cascaded installations, you can restore KVM port defaults for up to 2 levels of KVM switches at a time. If you want to restore KVM port defaults for more than two levels of KVM switches, repeat this procedure for each third-level KVM switch for which you wish to restore KVM port defaults. KVM port defaults will be restored for any fourth-level KVM switches at the same time. In daisy-chained installations, you can restore KVM port defaults one station at a time.

To restore KVM port defaults:

In the tree view, click on the station for which you want to restore KVM port defaults to select it.

From the Administration menu, choose Port Management. The Port Select Web Page for that station appears.

Click Restore Defaults. The KVM port defaults are restored for the selected station (and one additional level of cascaded KVM switches, if applicable).

10.15 Setting the OSD View

Once accounts for users have been created, they can login to the B060-032-8 Administrator Utility. From there, they can set OSD view settings for their accounts. This includes selecting the KVM ports that will appear in the OSD port list; the type, position and duration of the port ID display; and the scan mode and scan duration. Clicking on the View link accesses the OSD View screen (Figure 22).
