3.1 Basic Operations - Overview
Your APC KVM Switch may be operated in a non-secure (no password required) or secure (password required) mode. All units ship defaulted to the non-secure mode. For information on implementing password security see the ÒAdministrator FunctionsÓ section of Chapter 4.
Computers may be powered-up one-at-a-time or all at once. No operator intervention is required during booting. As the system stabilizes, an amber LED over each channel will illuminate, indicating that the attached computer is powered on. A green LED will light at the active computer. A computer may now be selected via the on-screen display menu or, if you are in non-secure mode, channel push-buttons, the Scan button or keyboard hot-key sequence.
The Scan push-button has a green LED over it. Press the button momentarily to switch to the next computer in sequence. Press and hold the button for one second to initiate channel scanning. The green LED will light while you are in scan mode.
There are two status LEDs. The red LED lights if an internal failure occurs. The green LED will blink for several seconds during power-up while the system performs a self-diagnostic. After initialization, the green LED remains lit during normal operation and blinks only when you are in Command Mode.
