USING YOUR SWITCH

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 use the familiar format of title bar and window body, which contains the text of the message. It includes appropriate response controls such as OK and Cancel buttons, based on the nature of the message.

Login Dialog

The Login dialog is a simple window with radio buttons to select the user, and an edit box for the user to enter a password. If the user is already logged-in, pressing “Cancel” returns the user to his or her current login (or guest, if the account is enabled). If the user is not logged in, and guest is disabled, pressing cancel will close the OSD.

Help Screens

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

The banner, a small window that is displayed to inform the user of the console’s focus, appears as a line of text surrounded by a gray, 3-D frame. It displays the following information:

•Group name

•Host name

•BANK and port in focus

If multiple consoles are viewing the same computer (MultiView Mode), the console with control displays the following banner information:

•Viewed by console [console letter]

•BANK and port in focus

The view-only console displays the following banner information:

•Viewing only, no control

•BANK and port in focus

The banner also displays important error messages and important changes in the KVM configuration.

Splash Screen

When you power-on the Switch, a window appears that displays its product name and copyright information. This window remains for several seconds then disappears. Opening IntelliView will clear the Splash Screen immediately.
