Security Option
The security option of the OSD Control enables an administrator to control access to the CPU ports for each user. Up to 24 users can be created. These users have controlled access to any CPU. Only the administrator can activate or deactivate the security features. Security can be activated from the Maintenance Mode menu (page 18) with a successful administrator login for verification purposes. Furthermore, the administrator can set a maximum idle time value after which the current user will be logged out and the login screen displayed. This time out does not function while the OSD is active. The current security status, idle time out, and scan dwell time are all saved and will be restored whenever power to the switch is cycled OFF, then ON.
Enabling the Security Feature
To enable the security feature the administrator must first enter Command Mode from the keyboard using the sequence <Ctrl> + <`> (accent key). The OSD menu will automatically appear on the monitor in addition to illuminating the Command Mode indicator LED on the KVM switch. This provides a visual way to control the KEEMUX using the keyboard, monitor, and mouse.
The administrator , when setting the KEEMUX up for the first time, may want to proceed directly to the ADMINISTRATION Mode by typing <CTRL> + <M> , then <A>, and then <Y>.
The factory settings are:
•default user name = ADMINISTRATOR
•default password = ADMINISTRATOR
FYI: The user name for administrator cannot be changed from "ADMINISTRATOR"
