Note: Ensure that the computer is connected to the SmartView as discussed earlier in the ‘Preparations’ sub section.

1Copy the program XPWRITE and XPRODATA.CSV into the same directory on the computer connected to the SmartView’s serial port.

2Run the program XPWRITE.EXE and follow the instructions given by the program.

3Using one of the SmartView World user ports, display the KVM configuration menu. Note: You must be logged-in as the ADMIN user.

5 Use to highlight ‘Read Data from RS232 port’ and press .

What to do if the ADMIN password has been forgotten

If the ADMIN password becomes mislaid or forgotten, you will not be able to access the SmartView World to add or edit users and computer names. This situation may be resolved by performing a complete reset to return the SmartView to its factory default state. A complete reset erases all the user names and computer names that you have setup. You can only perform a complete reset if you have access to both the front and the rear of the SmartView.

To perform a complete reset and return the SmartView World (KVM sec- tion) to its factory default state:

Note: This procedure does not affect the IP section.

1 Power on the SmartView normally.

2Whilst the SmartView is powered on move switch 2 on the rear panel of the SmartView (labelled UPGRADE) to the ON (down) position.

3 Press the USER and the COMPUTER keys together.

4The green USER display will show ‘ ’ for a few seconds to confirm that a reset is taking place.

5 Return switch 2 to the normal OFF position (up).
