3 Basic operations

3.1Controlling the switching system from the analog user port

The KVM s2-0411 appliance has PS/2 keyboard and mouse ports on the rear panel that you can use to connect a PS/2 keyboard and mouse for direct analog access. The appliance uses the OSCAR interface, which has menus to configure the switching system and select target devices.

3.2Starting the OSCAR interface

You can view, configure, and control target devices in the switching system from the OSCAR interface from a KVM connection to the analog user port.

To start the OSCAR interface, press Print Screen.

Alternatively, you can press the Control, Alt, or Shift key twice within 1 second to start the OSCAR interface. You can use any of these key sequences instead of pressing Print Screen in any procedure in this document. To specify which key sequences can be used to start the OSCAR interface, click Setup - Menu.

The following illustration is an example of the Main window of the OSCAR interface.
