KVM Settings

These KVM settings allow you to control the interface between the two main components of the SmartView World: The

IP section and the KVM switching section.

Switch Active Port

This indicates which of the KVM computer ports that the IP connected user port is currently switched to, and also allows you to change to another port.

KVM Configuration

Number of Ports

The number of physical ports on the SmartView World

is fixed at 16. However, in situations where other KVM switches and computers are cascaded from the SmartView World ports,

it can be useful to create new ‘virtual’ ports that can then be assigned to access indirectly connected systems. This setting has the following options: 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32 or 64.

Duration of pause for KVM

and Remote Console Button Keys

This setting defines the length of time (in milliseconds) that should elapse when a ‘*’ character is inserted into a hotkey switching sequence. Such pauses are used to allow enough time for the switching circuitry to complete each operation.

Default Configuration

These are the settings to which the SmartView World will revert whenever a complete reset is performed.

KVM Port Settings

In this section, you have the option to change three aspects of operation for each of the 16 SmartView World computer ports:

Name

The name entered here will be displayed within the Remote Console, providing that the corresponding ‘Show in Console’ option is ticked.

Hotkey

This section allows you to determine the hotkey combinations that are used by the home page and the Remote Console to select each KVM port. It is important that the hotkey codes entered here match the hotkey combinations set within the KVM configuration section (Main Menu / Configuration Menu / Setup Options / Hotkeys) of the SmartView World. If the codes do not match then the various ports will not be selectable. For instance, if the KVM section hotkeys are changed to ‘CTRL + SHIFT’ then the Hotkey entry within this panel for port 8 must be ‘CTRL + SHIFT + 8’ in order for Remote Console to switch to that system. The various KVM and IP hotkey settings are listed below:

R CTRL+ALT

then KeyB’

 

Note: Addresses for cascaded computers should be entered as in their basic KVM form, with the addition of ‘+’ delimiters between each character. For instance, (with the KVM hotkeys set to ‘CTRL and ALT’) a cascaded computer with address 41434108 would be entered as:

CTRL + ALT + 4 > 1 > 4 > 3 > 4 > 1 > 0 > 8

For KVM hotkey selection, see To change the KVM hotkeys for more details.

Show in Console

This option determines whether the corresponding name of the port is displayed within the Remote Console window. This setting does not prevent the port being displayed on the home page, nor does it disable the relevant hotkey combination for the port.
