Setting local console switch security

The OSD enables you to set security on the local port consoles. You can establish a Screen Saver mode that engages after the HP KVM Server Console Switch G2 remains unused for a user-definable time delay. When engaged, the HP KVM Server Console Switch G2 remains locked until any key is pressed or the mouse is moved. Then you can enter the password to log in.

Use the Security dialog box ("Accessing the Security dialog box" on page 29) to lock your HP KVM Server Console Switch G2 with password protection, set or change the password, and enable the screen saver.

NOTE: If a password has been previously set, you must enter the password before you can access the Security dialog box.
