KH1508i / KH1516i User Manual

Multiuser Operation

The KH1508i / KH1516i supports multiuser operation. Up to 32 users can log in at the same time. When multiple users simultaneously access the KH1508i / KH1516i switch from remote consoles, the rules of precedence that apply are shown in the following table:

Operation

Rule

 

 

General

Š Once a user invokes the OSD, no other user can invoke it

 

until the original user closes it.

 

 

Auto Scan Mode

Š If a user has invoked Auto Scan Mode (see Auto Scanning,

 

page 103), but the OSD has not been invoked, another user

 

can interrupt Auto Scan Mode by invoking the OSD.

 

 

Panel Array Mode

Š When a user has invoked Panel Array Mode (see page 100),

 

all successive users automatically enter Panel Array Mode.

 

Panel Array Mode continues until the original user stops it.

 

(Administrators can override Panel Array Mode.)

 

Š Only the user who starts Panel Array Mode can use the Skip

 

Mode (see page 104) function.

 

Š Only the user who starts Panel Array Mode and users with

 

administrator priveleges can switch ports. Other users

 

automatically switch to the ports that the original user

 

selects.

Note: If a user does not have access rights to the port that the original user switches to, that user will not be able to view the port.

ŠIndividual users can increase or decrease the number of panels they wish to view in Panel Array Mode; however, the picture quality may decrease as the number of panels decreases.

Note: We recommend that the user who starts Panel Array Mode set it to display at least four panels; otherwise, it is possible that other users may receive only part of the picture.
