USING YOUR KVM SWITCH

IntelliView OSD Features

The main page is the initial screen that will appear after opening IntelliView. The screen layout is similar to many Windows-based systems that exist. The user will see a window with a title bar containing some controls and a main area where the user accesses the features of the KVM Switch.

The top-right side of the IntelliView title bar identifies the Console that is being used and the user that is currently logged in. Selecting the “?” button will display the help screen. The help screen will show a description of the current page and will describe all available controls.

Selecting the “X” button will close the page the user is viewing. The main page also has an “Exit” button that closes IntelliView. The exit button is the default key, so pressing “Enter” will also exit IntelliView, unless another button has focus.

Note: All changes to IntelliView are written and saved to memory as soon as the focus changes; there is no method of canceling or undoing actions once they have been entered. However, in the case of edit boxes (e.g. the “Computer Name” edit box), ESC will exit the control and revert the contents to their original form.

Input and Navigation Features

•Clicking on the “Group”, “Computer Name”, or “ID” column headers will sort the list box entries in ascending order, by the column header selected.

•Single-clicking on a computer line will select that computer line.

•Double-clicking on a computer line will select that computer line and switch the Console’s focus to the selected port. If the user is restricted from accessing the computer selected, an error message will be displayed. When the error dialog box is cleared, the Console’s focus will remain on the previously selected port.

•Pressing the up or down arrow keys, while IntelliView is up, will move the computer cursor (the row highlighted blue) up or down. If the cursor moves outside of the visible area, the list will scroll by one line. The scroll wheel on the mouse can also be used to perform this function.

USING YOUR KVM SWITCH

•The up/down double arrows, to the right of the computer list, scroll the list up and down one page at a time. The “Page Up” and “Page Down” keys on the keyboard will also perform this function.

•If the main page of IntelliView is in focus, pressing the space bar will give the Console control of the highlighted computer.

•Pressing “Enter” will activate the control in focus, if the control is

on a button or inside an edit box. However, if the focus is on another type of control (e.g. the list box), the Enter key will activate the default control (“Close” or “Exit”, depending on the current IntelliView screen).

•If the administrator presses “Ctrl+TAB” while viewing one of the setup pages, IntelliView will switch to the next page.

•Accelerator keys that have been enabled will activate their respective controls (i.e. pressing “Alt+{A-Key}”, where the A key corresponds with a character that is underlined in a control label).

•When IntelliView is active, keyboard and mouse input is routed to IntelliView; nothing is sent to the computer that the Console controls.

•Selecting the “Close” button (or pressing “Alt+C”) on any of the setup pages will return the user to the main page.

•The “Tab” key can be used to cycle through the controls on the current IntelliView page.

•The IntelliView window can be repositioned by clicking on the title bar and dragging the window with the mouse.

•To reposition the banner, press “Ctrl+Alt” while the IntelliView window is up. The cursor will jump from the IntelliView window to the banner; clicking and dragging the mouse will allow the user to reposition the banner.

•The size and position of the IntelliView window and banner vary with the resolution and refresh rate of the video card. To improve the user’s ability to position the window where they desire, the KVM Switch preserves the position of the window for several different resolution/refresh rates. This feature will help the user to position the window and the banner where they want them, but the user may have to set the positions of the window and banner windows multiple times
