Chapter 3. Operation

View Mode

Use this function to broaden or narrow the scope of ports that are listed on the Port Status screen and in the tree. The submenu choices and their meanings are given in the table below:

Choice

Meaning

 

 

Personal

Some console modules have the option to set the OSD list to

 

display only those ports that the user has set as Personal. The

 

KA9233 does not support this feature. If you set the view as

 

Personal, the KA9233 will instead display all accessible ports.

 

However, when using a console module that supports this feature,

 

only ports that have been set as Personal will be displayed. (See

 

SET PERSONAL VIEW in the matrix KVM switch user manual.)

 

 

Accessible

The OSD lists only those ports that the user is permitted to access.

 

See Managing Port Access, page 58.

 

 

Accessible +

The OSD lists only those ports that the user is permitted to access

Powered

and that have their attached computers powered on.

ID Position

Defines where the Port ID appears on the monitor. The options are

 

Upper left, Upper right, Lower left, Lower right, and Other. If

 

you select Other, enter horizontal and vertical coordinates in the X
