FEATURES

You can use the OutLook Console Switch in various configura- tions to connect from 4 to 64 servers.

The features of the OutLook Console Switch include:

!OSCAR – Displays system-related information on the moni- tor, such as power-up test data and configuration menus.

!Programmable scanning – Evaluates system performance by sequentially scanning any or all of the computers in the system. Programmable scanning allows you to determine which computers to include as well as the duration of the connection.

!Configuration non-volatile memory (NVM) – Makes it easy to set configuration information using commands entered from the keyboard. The NVM stores the resulting configura- tion until you decide to change the information, even if the unit loses power.

!PS/2 device reset switch – Resets the unit without interrupt- ing power to the system if the keyboard or mouse communi- cation is disrupted.

!Password protection – Protects against unauthorized users by providing a password option for security purposes.

!Switch firmware update – Allows quick and easy update since the application code of the switch resides in NVM. The port communications settings are automatically configured to allow direct downloading from the connected computer.
