Enabling Direct Access to KVM Ports

When direct access to KVM ports is enabled, users authorized to access KVM ports can use a port field on the Web Manager login screen to log in and connect directly to the port. See “To Log In to the Web Manager as Admin” on page 138, if desired, for an example of the login screen when direct login is enabled.

Note: If KVM/net is configured with a Secure or Moderate Security Profile, direct access is not permitted.

Redefining KVM Connection Keyboard Shortcuts (Hot Keys)

You can use the General, User 1, User 2, and IP Users forms to redefine a default set of keyboard shortcuts (called hot keys), which allow administrators to perform common actions while connected to KVM ports. You redefine the common escape sequence portion of each hot key separately from the command key.
