Local port operation
Local port operation overview
The console switch system has one local port on the rear panel ("Console switch components" on page 6) that enables you to connect a keyboard, monitor, and mouse to the console switch for direct access.
Use the Main dialog box ("Accessing the Main dialog box" on page 28) to view, configure, and control servers in the console switch system. You can also clear offline interface adapters by clicking the Clear button.
Accessing the Main dialog box
Press the Print Scrn key. The Main dialog box appears.
NOTE: You can also press the Ctrl key twice within one second to launch the OSD. You can use this key sequence any place you see the Print Scrn key mentioned in this user guide. Other keystrokes can also be used to launch the OSD. See "Selecting a key combination to launch the OSD (on page 33)."
