Remote User

The APC KVM Switch supports both PS/2 peripherals (with available adapter) at the remote user location. Use this menu option to select the peripherals that are appropriate to your remote setup.

Switch Selection

Depending on your particular installation, you may not want unpowered computers to be accessible. If Switch Selection is toggled to “All Channels” the APC KVM Switch will switch to a connected system regardless of power state. By default, the Switch will only switch to systems that are powered on.

Setup Port Operations

APC offers enhancement products that allow you to customize the APC KVM Switch through the setup port. Features include automated OSD programming via the OSD Configuration Utility and FLASH Upgrades. Depending on the application, you may be asked to enable the setup port in the instructions that come with your Switch enhancement.

FLASH Upgrades

FLASH Upgrading allows you to change the code that runs your APC KVM Switch. This lets you enhance the features of your switch and keep it current with the latest improvements in APC KVM switching. For more information, see Section 7.3.
