Chapter 3. Operation

Port Status

When you log in to the Graphical OSD, the Port Status screen displays by default. (You can display the Port Status screen at any time by clicking on the root station icon in the tree view. You can view the Port Status screen for cascaded stations by clicking the station icon for the cascaded KVM switch.) Users see only those KVM ports for which they have full access and view only privileges. Clicking on a column heading sorts information in the column by ascending or descending order.
