USING YOUR KVM SWITCH

Display Restricted Ports

Enabling this feature will cause ports that the current user is restricted from accessing to appear in the computer list box (on the main page of IntelliView). By default, restricted ports are displayed.

Daisy-Chain this KVM

Checking this box allows KVM Switches set to BANK 00 to communicate with other BANKs in a daisy-chain configuration. This affects front-panel operations and a few other miscellaneous operational parameters.

Whenever the state of this check box is changed, a message will be displayed requiring the user to reboot the KVM Switch. The KVM Switch will continue to operate correctly without rebooting, but the setting of this check box will not take effect until the KVM Switch is rebooted. By default, KVM Switches set to BANK 00 are configured as standalone (the check box is cleared). This is only required for BANK 00.

Display Version Numbers

This screen displays product information, including the model number and the firmware revisions.

Restore Factory Defaults

Clicking on this button will restore all user-configurable settings to their default values. The user is presented with a confirmation screen before this action is applied.

Error Messages and Dialogs

From time to time, it will be necessary to display messages to the user indicating errors or requesting simple answers to questions. These pop-up screens will have the familiar format of title bar and window body, which will contain the text of the message. There will also be appropriate response controls such as “OK” and “Cancel” buttons, based on the nature of the message.

USING YOUR KVM SWITCH

Login Dialog

The “Login Dialog” box is a simple window with radio buttons to select the user, and an edit box for users to enter their password. If users are already logged in, pressing cancel will return them to their current login (or “Guest” if the account is enabled). If the user is not logged in, and “Guest” is disabled, pressing “Cancel” will close IntelliView.

Help Screens

Extensive help is available within IntelliView; simply press the F1 key, or click on the “?” button on the right side of the title bar.

Banner

The banner is a small window that is displayed to inform the user of the Console’s focus. The banner looks like a line of text surrounded by a gray frame with the typical 3D look. The banner will display the following:

•Group Name

•Host Name

•BANK and port in focus

If multiple consoles are viewing the same computer (MultiView mode), the Console with control will display the following banner information:

•Viewed by Console (Console Letter)

•BANK and port in focus

The view-only Console will display the following banner information:

•Viewing only, no control

•BANK and port in focus

Splash Screen

When the KVM Switch powers on, it will display a splash screen with the product name and copyright information. This screen will remain for several seconds before it disappears. Calling up IntelliView will dispel this screen immediately.
