USING YOUR KVM SWITCH

Selecting a Computer Using Keyboard Hot Key Commands

Command the KVM to switch ports through simple keyboard key sequences. To initiate a keyboard command to the KVM Switch, press the “Scroll Lock” key twice within one second (you will hear a beep), then input the key sequence for the specific command. Below is a list of the different keyboard commands:

Note: You will have approximately two seconds after the beep to complete each hot key sequence.

For hot keys (e.g. up and down arrows) and AutoScan, the order of progression from one computer to the next is dictated by the order of the computers in the list box (in the main view of IntelliView).

SL SL	Up Arrow		Switch to PREVIOUS server in the IntelliView’s
			list box
SL SL	Down Arrow		Switch to NEXT server in the IntelliView’s list box
SL SL	X	Y	Directly switches to PORT Y on BANK X
			(X=00 to 15) (Y=01 to 08 for F1DE108B)
SL SL	Space bar		Activate IntelliView
SL SL	A		Toggle AutoScan mode On and Off

Note: Alternatively, the control keys can be used to enter commands (usage is identical to the Scroll Lock key); this provides compatibility for keyboards that don’t have Scroll Lock keys.

AutoScan Mode

Using the AutoScan Function from the Front Panel:

In AutoScan mode, the KVM Switch remains on one port for a configured interval (1–99 seconds) before switching to the next computer. The time interval is configured in IntelliView.

1.To enter AutoScan mode, press the AutoScan button.

2.On a standalone KVM Switch, pressing and releasing any button on the front panel will cause the KVM to beep and exit AutoScan mode. If you pressed a direct-access port selector, the KVM will also switch the focus to the selected port. If you don’t have permission to access the selected port, the KVM will beep, switch focus away from the selected port, and

the 7-segment LED will indicate “AF” (Access Failure). On a daisy- chained KVM Switch, pressing any button on the front panel will exit AutoScan mode and return to Select mode.

•AutoScan mode will continue indefinitely until terminated by pressing any valid hot key sequence, or pressing a button on the front panel.

•When the KVM Switch is in AutoScan mode, it is also in View-Only mode. This means that input from the Console will not be transmitted to the server in focus. Cancel AutoScan to regain control of the computer.

•The AutoScan time varies by computer, and is configured in IntelliView.

•AutoScan will skip any servers that the user does not have permission to view.

•One port LED will be lit, corresponding with the port in focus.

•The Console LED will be lit, indicating that this KVM Switch is a Console.

•On a standalone KVM Switch, the 7-segment LEDs will display the ID of the port in focus, but on a daisy-chained KVM Switch,

the 7-segment LEDs will display the ID of the BANK in focus.

Using the MultiView Feature

This KVM Switch is capable of allowing multiple users to view the same server simultaneously; however, only the first Console to focus on that server will have control (be capable of input). When a second Console focuses on the same server, the View-Only Console’s banner will display “View-Only”. If the banner is enabled on the viewing Console, then the “View-Only” banner will be displayed as long as that Console is focused on a computer it can’t control. If the banner is disabled on the viewing Console, then the “View-Only” banner will be displayed for five seconds. If the controlling Console switches focus to another computer, then control will be granted to another Console.

IntelliView On-Screen Display Menu Control

The IntelliView graphical On-Screen Display (OSD) is intended to have a look and feel similar to Windows-based systems popular on personal computers. To bring up the IntelliView, press on “Scroll Lock + Scroll Lock

+ Space Bar”.
