Chapter 8. Device Management

Working Mode

ŠIf ICMP is enabled, the KVM Over the NETTM switch can be pinged. If it is not enabled, the device cannot be pinged. The default is Enabled.

ŠTo permit browser access to the KVM Over the NETTM switch, click to put a check mark in the Enable Browser checkbox. If browser access is not enabled, users must use either the WinClient AP or Java Client AP program to access the switch. The default is Enabled.

ŠEnabling Multiuser operation permits up to 32 users to log in at the same time to share the remote bus. If not enabled, only one user can log in at a time. The default is Enabled.

ŠIf Force all to grayscale is enabled, the remote displays of all devices connected to the KVM Over the NETTM switch are changed to grayscale. This can speed up I/O transfer in low bandwidth situations.

ŠIf Enable Device List is enabled, the switch appears in the Server List when using the WinClient AP (see WinClient AP Login, page 39). If this option is not enabled, the switch can still be connected to, but its name will not appear in the Server List.

ŠWhen the Enable Adapter ID function is enabled (the default) the switch stores adapter cable information for each of its ports, so that when you move a KVM Adapter Cable from one port to another, it remembers the adapter cable’s port properties information at the new location (see The Adapter ID Function, page 28).

If this function is disabled, moving the adapter will mean having to key in its port properties information all over again at the new port (see Port Properties, page 86).
