CHAPTER 5: Operation: On-Screen Display

5.2.6CONFIGURE SYSTEM: SCAN TIME

This item determines the time, in seconds, that the ServSwitch will pause at each of the computers when scanning. The factory-default setting is 5 seconds. To change the scan time, press [Enter] while “Scan time” is highlighted. An “Input new value” box appears. Use the shared keyboard’s number keys to input a new value from 1 to 999 seconds and hit [Enter]. (You can also set this value to zero to disable scanning completely.) The input box disappears and the new setting appears in the “Scan time” field.

5.2.7CONFIGURE SYSTEM: SCAN MODE

This item turns scanning on or off. (Factory default is off.) To change the scan mode, press [Enter] while “Scan mode” is highlighted. An off/on input box appears. Use the arrow keys to select “on” or “off” and hit [Enter]. The input box disappears and the new setting appears in the “Scan mode” field.

5.2.8CONFIGURE SYSTEM: POWER-ON SCAN

This item determines whether the ServSwitch operates normally when it is powered up or begins scanning immediately. To change the power-on scan setting, press [Enter] while “Power on scan” is highlighted. An off/on input box appears. Use the arrow keys to select “On” (Serv unit defaults to scan mode at power-up) or “Off” (unit operates normally at power-up) and hit [Enter]. The input box disappears and the new setting appears in the “Power on scan” field. (You must save this change, as described in Section 5.1.3, for it to be effective. The factory- default value for this option is “off.”)

5.2.9CONFIGURE SYSTEM: TYPEMATIC RATE

This item determines how quickly repeated keystrokes are sent to the attached CPUs when a key on the shared keyboard is held down. The factory-default setting is 20 characters per second. To change the typematic rate, press [Enter] while “Typematic rate” is highlighted. An “Input new value” box appears. Use the shared keyboard’s number keys to input a new “rate value” from 0 to 31 and hit [Enter]. (This rate value corresponds to a certain number of keystrokes per second, as shown in Table 3-1 on the next page.) The input box disappears and the new setting appears in the “Typematic rate” field.

SW725A-R4, SW722A-R4, SW723A-R4, KV3108SA-R4, SW724A-R4 specifications

The Black Box SW721A-R4, SW724A-R4, KV3108SA-R4, SW723A-R4, and SW722A-R4 are cutting-edge network switches that cater to the demanding needs of modern data environments. These models are designed to provide high performance, reliability, and advanced features suitable for both enterprise-level deployments and smaller networks.

The SW721A-R4 and SW724A-R4 are primarily layer 2 switches that support essential networking protocols such as IEEE 802.1Q for VLAN tagging, ensuring secure and efficient traffic management. With robust forwarding capabilities, these switches boast high-speed Gigabit Ethernet ports, which enable seamless data transfer and reduce latency in data-driven applications. Their fanless design also ensures quiet operation, making them ideal for office settings and noise-sensitive areas.

Another noteworthy addition is the KV3108SA-R4, a versatile KVM switch that provides remote management capabilities. This model can control multiple servers and computers from a single console, allowing IT personnel to streamline operations and reduce physical space requirements. With support for high-resolution video output and an intuitive user interface, the KV3108SA-R4 enhances usability while maintaining efficiency in server management.

The SW723A-R4 and SW722A-R4 models further enhance network capabilities with their advanced Layer 3 functions. These switches support static routing and dynamic routing protocols, making them suitable for complex networking scenarios. They are equipped with a comprehensive set of security features, including port security and access control lists (ACLs), ensuring that sensitive information is well-protected against unauthorized access.

All of these Black Box models operate on advanced technologies such as QoS (Quality of Service), which helps prioritize critical traffic and ensures optimal performance during peak usage periods. Additionally, they support Power over Ethernet (PoE), enabling the powering of network devices such as IP cameras and VoIP phones without the need for additional electrical outlets.

In summary, the Black Box SW721A-R4, SW724A-R4, KV3108SA-R4, SW723A-R4, and SW722A-R4 represent a fusion of performance, versatility, and security in network infrastructure. These switches are perfect for businesses looking to enhance their connectivity solutions, ensuring that they can meet the demands of an increasingly digital world while maintaining high standards of efficiency and reliability.
