Login Button
Click on the “Login” button or press “Alt+L” on the keyboard to display the login dialog box, which lets the user switch to a different “account” (see the “Login Dialog” section).
Logout Button
Click on the “Logout” button or press “Alt+T” on the keyboard to return to “Guest” level access. If the administrator has removed guest access, video will go black when the user logs out of the computer, and that port will lose control of the computer. The hot keys and the front panel are also disabled; the only command sequence the KVM Switch will accept is “SL+SL+Space” (open IntelliView), which will present the user with the login dialog box.
Exit Button
The “Exit” button (or “Alt+X”) closes IntelliView, allowing the user an unrestricted view and control over the computer in focus.
Administrator Setup Page
The setup page is only available to the admin user and is used to set the group name, computer name, and computer scan times. The scan time is dependent on the port being scanned, and is global (i.e. it’s independent of the Console or user). While scan times are independent of the user, AutoScan will skip computers that the user does not have permission
to view.
